Crawling Back To You
Daughtry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's too late now to put out the fire tables turned
And I'm the one who's burning now well I'm doing all right
Till I close my eyes and then I see your face and it's no surprise
Just like that I'm crawling back to you
Just like you said I would yeah
Swallow my pride now I'm crawling back to you
I'm down on my knees I thought I was stronger
Just like that just like you said I'd do
I'm crawling back to you
Time can heal, but the scars only hide the way you feel
And it's hard to forget how I left you hanging
On by a thread, everything I said
I regret it yeah I was doin' all right
Thought I could make it then I see your face and
It's hard to fake it
And just like that I'm crawling back to you
Just like you said I would yeah
Swallow my pride I'm crawling back to you
I'm out of my head can't wait any longer
I'm down on my knees I thought I was stronger
Just like that like you said I'd do
Yeah I'm crawling back to you
You could find a way to forgive everything I know you would
And I would take it all back if only I knew that I could.
Lessons learned and bridges burned to the ground
And it's to late now to put out the fire.
And just like that I'm crawling back to you
Just like you said I would yeah
Swallow my pride I'm crawling back to you
I'm out of my head can't wait any longer
I'm down on my knees I thought I was stronger
Just like that just like you said I'd do
Yeah I'm crawling back to you
Yeah I'm crawling back to you yeah
I'm crawling back to you
I'm crawling back to you
The lyrics of "Crawling Back to You" by Daughtry speak about the regrets of a person who ended a relationship and cannot forget their former partner. The song talks about burned bridges and lessons learned, highlighting the idea that time can heal the wounds but the scars will always remind them of the pain. However, even though they were doing fine and thought they could make it, they still missed their ex-partner and could not resist crawling back.
The lyrics suggest a sense of resignation and submission of oneself to the pain they are feeling. Even though they are aware of the mistake they made and the pain they caused, they still want to reach out and ask for forgiveness. The line "you could find a way to forgive everything I know you would" portrays their belief in their partner's capacity to forgive and how deeply they regret their mistakes. The chorus suggests that they are still unable to move on and the only option left for them is to crawl back to their former partner, showing how powerless they feel in this situation.
The song's lyrics are relatable and poignant, captured in Chris Daughtry's powerful vocals. The slow-rock ballad's melody further enhances the mood of the song, creating a melancholic mood that resonates with listeners who have gone through similar experiences.

Lessons learned, and bridges burned to the ground
I have made mistakes and lost relationships irreparably
And it's too late now to put out the fire tables turned
I am now experiencing the pain that I had inflicted on you earlier
And I'm the one who's burning now well I'm doing all right
I may be putting up a strong facade, but I am going through a lot of pain
Till I close my eyes and then I see your face and it's no surprise
Whenever I think about you, the hurt that I have caused comes back to me
Just like that I'm crawling back to you
Despite all the hurt, I cannot resist the urge to come back to you
Just like you said I would yeah
You had warned me that I would come back to you, and you were right
Swallow my pride now I'm crawling back to you

I am finding it difficult to forget how badly I treated you in the past
On by a thread, everything I said
Our relationship was hanging by a thread because of the things that I had said and done
I regret it yeah I was doin' all right
I had convinced myself that I was doing fine, but deep down, I knew that I was wrong
Thought I could make it then I see your face and
I had believed that I could move on, but whenever I think of you, my resolve weakens
It's hard to fake it
I cannot pretend that I do not have feelings for you
You could find a way to forgive everything I know you would
I have faith that you would forgive me if I came back to you
And I would take it all back if only I knew that I could.
I regret all my past actions and words, and I would do anything to undo them
Yeah I'm crawling back to you
In the end, I accept that I cannot resist coming back to you

Lessons learned, bridges burned to the ground,
And it's too late now to put out the fire,
Tables turned, and I'm the one who's burning now,
Well I'm doing alright,
'Til I close my eyes
And then I see your face,
And it's no surprise.
[Chorus:]
Just like that I'm crawling back to you,
Just like you said I would yeah,

Apparently fox does too
They helped start his career
And they help again to shine the spot light back on him in 2016 with passion
And then they updated it last year with the masked singer
