Back to you, back to you, back to you
I go back to you, back to you, back to you everytime
I get tired of your no-shows
You get tired of my control (yeah)
They keep telling me to let go
But I don't really let go when I say so (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm so different when you're not there (yeah, yeah)
It's like something out of Shakespeare (yeah)
Because I'm really not here when you're not there
I've tried to fight our energy
But everytime I think I'm free (yeah, woo!)
You get high and call on the regular
I get weak and fall like a teenager
Why, oh why does God keep bringing me back to you?
I get drunk, pretend that I'm over it
Self-destruct, show up like an idiot
Why, oh why does God keep bringing me back to you?
I go back to you, back to you, back to you
Back to you, back to you, back to you
I go back to you, back to you, back to you everytime
Just when I get on a new wave (yeah)
Boy, you look at me and I slip outta my lace
They keep calling me a head-case
'Cause I can't make a good case why we can't change
I've tried to fight our energy (yee, yee!)
But everytime I think I'm free (yeah)
You get high and call on the regular
I get weak and fall like a teenager
Why, oh why does God keep bringing me back to you? Mmm (Back to you, baby)
I get drunk, pretend that I'm over it
Self-destruct, show up like an idiot
Why, oh why does God keep bringing me back to you?
I go back to you, back to you, back to you (I go back to you)
Back to you, back to you, back to you (back to you)
I go back to you, back to you, back to you everytime (I go)
I go back to you, back to you, back to you (yeah!)
Back to you, back to you, back to you
I go back to you, back to you, back to you everytime
The song "everytime" by Ariana Grande is about the singer's difficulty in moving on from a past relationship. The repetition of the phrase "back to you" emphasizes the cyclical nature of her emotions and actions as she keeps returning to her past lover despite their toxic dynamic. The first verse describes the push and pull of their relationship, with the singer growing tired of her lover's inconsistency and controlling behavior while they similarly grow tired of her attempts to change them. The line "They keep telling me to let go, but I don't really let go when I say so" highlights the singer's struggle to truly let go and move on.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's emotions and behaviors when she is not with her past lover. She notes that she becomes distant and disconnected from those around her, as if she is not really present without the other person. However, when she is around them, she feels their undeniable "energy" and cannot resist the pull back to their relationship. The chorus repeats the phrase "back to you" as a reminder of the cyclical pattern of their relationship, each time ending with the word "everytime" to emphasize the inevitability of their reunion.
Overall, the song touches on the universal theme of struggling to let go of a past relationship and the difficulty of moving on even when it seems like the best decision.
