Back to Back
Blond-ish and Climbers feat. Forrest Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Felt myself waking up this morning
And I forget the night I had
Barely awake and I'm still yawning
My baby's shouting she's so mad
Why don't you like when I go out with the guys
She replies "cuz you get drunk every time"
Maybe I'll wake up, and maybe you'll be gone for the day
So maybe I'll get drunk and try to drown my sorrows away

When will you come back?
When will you come back to me?
Maybe I'll just fall back
Maybe I'll just fall back to sleep
She comes home to find me passed out in the bed again
This is it it's over, it's the final straw she said
"Why should I come home to find you in a state every night
You're surrounded by those empty cans of beer, drinking wine
This is it I'm sick of it, this is the end"
But I'll pretend that everything's alright
Maybe I'll wake up, and maybe you'll be gone for the day
So maybe I'll get drunk and try to drown my sorrows away
When will you come back?
When will you come back to me?
Maybe I'll just fall back
Maybe I'll just fall back to sleep
Maybe I'll just fall back to sleep
I'm beginning to think she ain't coming back
I'm beginning to think she ain't coming back
I'm really starting to think she ain't coming back
And that makes me feel so sad
Cuz she's all I've ever had
And I just can't be without her love
So I'll go back to the pub
So maybe I'll wake up, and maybe you'll be gone for the day
Maybe I'll get drunk and try to drown my sorrows away
When will you come back?
Will you ever come back to me?
Maybe I'll just fall back
Maybe I'll just fall back to sleep
Maybe I'll get drunk, and maybe you'll be gone for the day
So maybe I'll get drunk and try to drown my sorrows away
When will you come back?
Will you even come back to me?
Maybe I'll just fall back

Maybe I'll just fall back to sleep
Maybe I'll just fall back to sleep
