When king and ace are brought back, you will get it back, relax? (4,1,4)

I have a phrase that means "relax" and fits the enumeration, but I can't quite work out the parsing. Thoughts welcome!

I'm thinking the first word contains "king" and "ace" in reverse order ("back"), and I suspect the last word is SEAT or REST...but I still can't figure out how to parse either possible solution.

Help appreciated!

TAKE A SEAT
If you move K to after E in Seat and A (single letter word) after S and read it in the reverse you will still get TAKE A SEAT (TAES A EKAT)
