Go back
Clyde Cyrus Lyrics

So bad, go back
Reflecting on negative experiences and wanting to return to a previous time.

So glad, go back
Feeling nostalgic and grateful for past memories, wanting to relive them.

Sentimental on this instrumental

But these battle scars ain't healing the same
Realizing that emotional scars and wounds from past struggles take longer to heal.

I've been through a lot

No cable, we had PBS days

Old cassettes with the VHS tapes

We would press play
Engaging in the simple act of pressing play to start listening or watching something.

Press rewind you get left behind while we see the next day
Stressing the urgency to move forward and progress, not getting stuck in the past.

I've been thinking bout the past
Reflecting deeply on past experiences and memories.

And all the times we had
Remembering and cherishing all the moments and experiences from the past.

Flipping over my hourglass
Symbolizing the desire to turn back time and return to the past.

Just wishing I could bring it all back, yeah
Expressing a strong desire to bring back and relive those past moments.

Tomorrow ain't so bad
Finding comfort and hope in the future, despite longing for the past.

But every time I reminisce, it makes me so glad
Feeling immense joy and happiness when reflecting on those past memories.

I was the youngest kid in the smallest room
Describing a situation where the artist had limited space and resources as the youngest child.

Only had space for my thoughts to bloom
Having the opportunity for personal ideas and thoughts to develop and grow.

Flower child, like a Rose I got thorns
Identifying as a free-spirited individual with a complex and guarded nature.

A wild child, now I'm grounded and bored
Acknowledging a shift from a rebellious and adventurous nature to feeling restricted and uninterested.

Barefoot, thinking 'what are these for

If my only escape was my broken keyboard?'
