Backwards
Alexander Stewart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've already got me in so deep
It's only gonna make it worse
We break up, make up, on repeat
Wait a minute
Am I losing my mind?
Tell me are you with it
Say you're coming over
Is that just another line
(Is that just another line)
Yeah we would talk all the way through the night
Pick you up and we drive
No I never thought we'd be stopping
You keep saying we're fine
But the look in your eyes
Oh, it just can't lie
I don't wanna hit reverse
You've already got me in so deep
It's only gonna make it worse
We break up, make up, on repeat
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're going backwards
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're going backwards
We're going backwards
I get the feeling
That we're living in the past
And I'm kinda stressin'
Are we slipping through the cracks?
When we find a present
Is it ever gonna last?
Yeah we would talk all the way through the night
Pick you up and we drive
No I never thought we'd be stopping
You keep saying we're fine
But the look in your eyes
Oh it just can't lie
I don't wanna hit reverse
You've already got me in so deep
It's only gonna make it worse
We break up, make up, on repeat
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're going backwards
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're going backwards
We break up, make up
We break up, make up
Talk all the way through the night
Pick you up and we drive
No I never thought we'd be stopping
You keep saying we're fine
But the look in your eyes
Oh it just can't lie
I don't wanna hit reverse
You've already got me in so deep
It's only gonna make it worse
We break up, make up, on repeat
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're going backwards
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're going backwards
We're going backwards
We're going backwards
In “Backwards,” Alexander Stewart sings about a relationship that keeps going backwards, resulting in a cycle of breaking up and making up. He starts off by saying he doesn't want to hit reverse because his partner has already gotten him so deep into their relationship, and going backwards would only make things worse. He is starting to question whether their relationship is worth continuing or whether they are only slipping through the cracks. Despite his reservations, she keeps trying to rewind their story by saying they're fine, but the look in her eyes reveals the truth that they're not. Throughout the song, Alexander reflects on the repetitive nature of their relationship, as if they're reliving the same cycle over and over again.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't wanna hit reverse
I don't want to go back in time in this relationship
You've already got me in so deep
I've invested a lot into this relationship already
It's only gonna make it worse
Going back will only create more problems
We break up, make up, on repeat
Our relationship has a cycle of breaking up and getting back together
Wait a minute
Let's pause and reflect
Am I losing my mind?
I'm questioning my sanity because of this relationship
Tell me are you with it
I need to know if you're committed
'Cause you keep tryna rewind
You keep wanting to go back in time
Say you're coming over
You're making promises to come see me
Is that just another line
I'm doubting if you'll actually follow through
Yeah we would talk all the way through the night
We used to have deep conversations for hours
Pick you up and we drive
I used to chauffeur you around
No I never thought we'd be stopping
I didn't imagine our relationship would ever end
You keep saying we're fine
You keep insisting that everything is okay
But the look in your eyes
Your facial expressions suggest otherwise
Oh, it just can't lie
Your eyes reveal the truth
We're going backwards
We're regressing in our relationship
I get the feeling
I have a suspicion
That we're living in the past
We're stuck reminiscing
And I'm kinda stressin'
I'm feeling anxious
Are we slipping through the cracks?
Are we falling apart?
When we find a present
When we live in the moment
Is it ever gonna last?
Will our happiness be fleeting?
We break up, make up
We go through cycles of good and bad times
Talk all the way through the night
We used to have deep, meaningful conversations
It's only gonna make it worse
Going backwards will create more problems
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Vocalization of emotions
We're going backwards
We're regressing in our relationship
We're going backwards
We're regressing in our relationship
We're going backwards
We're regressing in our relationship
