Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
Can you feel me?
(Baby, can you feel me?)
I've got something to say
Check it out
For all this time
Oh, yes I have
And ever since the day you left me here alone
I've been trying to find
Oh, the reason why
So if I did something wrong, please tell me
I wanna understand
'Cause I don't want this love to ever end
And I swear
If you come back in my life
I'll be there 'til the end of time (back to me, back to me)
Oh yeah (back into my life)
And I swear
I'll keep you right by my side
'Cause baby you're the one I want (back to me, back to me)
Oh, yes you are (back into my life)
I watched you go
You've taken my heart with you
Oh, yes you did
Every time I tried to reach you on the phone
Baby, you're never there
Girl, you're never home
So if I did something wrong, please tell me
I wanna understand
'Cause I don't want this love to ever end
No, no, no, no, I swear
If you come back in my life
I'll be there 'til the end of time (back to me, back to me)
Oh, yeah (back into my life)
And I swear
I'll keep you right by my side
'Cause baby you're the one I want (back to me, back to me)
Oh, yes you are (back into my life)
Maybe I didn't know how to show it (how to show it)
And maybe I didn't know what to say (what to say)
This time I won't disguise (won't disguise)
Then we can build our lives
Then we can be as one (be as one)

In "Back to You," Blue speaks about someone with "devastating eyes" and "green and yellow cries" who struggles to fight for love because they were never truly loved themselves. This person appears to have suffered from past relationship trauma, which prevents them from being able to love fully without fear or hesitation. The lyrics suggest that this person is unique and deserving of love, as they are "not just anybody, anybody" or "just anyone, anyone."
The chorus of the song features a plea for the person to love the singer back, despite their reservations caused by past hurt. The singer is willing to make themselves vulnerable by confessing their feelings and asking for love in return. They encourage the person to let out their emotions freely, laughing in the places they once cried and expressing their innermost thoughts.
At the end of the song, the singer seems to have come to terms with their unrequited love and wishes the other person well. They acknowledge that we often settle for less than what we deserve in life, in love and in relationships. The final repetition of the chorus represents a last-ditch effort to win the other person's affection, but also serves as a resignation that it may not happen.
Line by Line Meaning
Your devastating eyes
Your intense and overpowering gaze
Your green and yellow cries
Your tears of jealousy and envy
Will make you forget everything
Will cause you to momentarily lose focus on all else
And but if love's worth fighting for
However, if the relationship is worth the effort
And though you don't know why anymore
Even if you don't have a clear understanding of why you still care
You never knew how to fight
You were never prepared or taught to handle conflict
'Cause you were never really loved right
Because you never received proper love and affection
You're not just anybody, anybody
You are not an average or ordinary person
You're not just anyone, anyone
You are not just any random individual
I know what you'll say
I am aware of your likely response
Shut up, I want you to love me back
Stop talking and show me that you love me too
Laugh in the places that you cried
Find happiness in the areas that were once painful
Say all the things you kept inside
Express all the thoughts and emotions that were previously hidden
If the truth hurts let 'em die
If the reality causes pain, let it go and move on
I turn and face it
I confront the situation head-on
Congratulations
Congratulations on settling for less
We get what we settle for
Our lives are an outcome of the choices we make
I said, we get what we settle for
I reiterate, the outcomes are linked to our choices
I wish you all the best
I wish you happiness and success
With this pain up in my chest
Despite the lingering emotional hurt
Yeah, we get what we settle for
Yes, our lives are a reflection of our chosen path
And yeah, congratulations
And yes, congratulations on settling for less
I know
I am aware of
What you'll say
Your likely response
Shut up I want you to love me back
Stop talking and demonstrate your affection to me
(You're not just anyone, anyone)
(You are a unique individual)
