Down in the Dumps Lyrics

I won't let you bring me back, bring me back
No, I won't let you bring me back, bring me back
You can throw all the futz and the tantrums you want
But I won't let you bring, bring me back downWay back in '95
Scraped knees, tough love, ah yeah
Grass stains were just a sign of the times
Big kids, look at us now
Too adult to say, "big whoop"
Let any old bummer get under my hideBut, ooh I'm gonna take control'Cause I won't let you bring me back
Bring me back down in the dumps
No, I won't let you bring me back
Bring me back down in the dumpsSo I'll walk that tightrope wire
But what am I really made of? Yeah
Scared of heights like I'm scared of falling in loveBut, ooh I'm gonna take controlBecause I won't let you bring me back
Bring me back down in the dumps
No, I won't let you bring me back
Bring me back down in the dumps
You can throw all the futz and the tantrums you want

But I won't let you bring, bring me back downSo think back to '95
And reach arms length deep, ah yeah
'Cause they'll try to pierce your childhood hideBut, ooh I'm gonna take control'Cause I won't let you bring me back
Bring me back down in the dumps
No, I won't let you bring me back
Bring me back down in the dumpsI won't let you bring me back
Bring me back down in the dumps
I say, I won't let you bring me back
Bring me back down in the dumpsI say, I won't let you bring me back
Bring me back down in the dumps
I say, I won't let you bring me back
Bring me back down in the dumpsYou can throw all the futz and the tantrums you want
But I won't let you bring, bring me back down
You can throw all the futz and the tantrums you want
But I won't let you bring, bring me back
