Back
Dylan Scott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the end of the night
And I find myself kissing you goodbye
Trying like hell to pull this truck out of your driveway
If I make it down the street
And that red light is almost green
Just a couple left turns
And I'll be flying down the highway
Ooh (ooh), can't stop thinking 'bout you (you)
I know I'm gonna end up

Back standing on your front porch
Back knocking on your front door
Back into those save me arms
Only you could make me feel like that
Back getting all twisted up
Back with it on the tip of my tongue
About to say something, say something
Something I can't take back

There ain't no way to know
What you're gonna say when I let it go
But my heart's finally talked my head into letting me
Say what's been running 'round my mind
Each and every time
I get my arms around you
You got a way of getting me

Back standing on your front porch
Back knocking on your front door
Back into those save me arms
Only you could make me feel like that
Back getting all twisted up
Back with it on the tip of my tongue
About to say something, say something
Something I can't take back
Oh, something I can't take back

Ooh (ooh), can't stop thinking 'bout you (you)
So here I am

Back standing on your front porch
Back knocking on your front door
Back into those save me arms
Only you could make me feel like that
Back getting all twisted up
Back with it on the tip of my tongue
About to say something, say something
Something I can't take back
Right here in your save me arms
About to say something I can't take back





Ooh (ooh), can't stop thinking 'bout you (you)

Overall Meaning

The song "Back" by Dylan Scott is a country ballad that tells the story of a man who is leaving his love interest's house at the end of the night, but can't stop thinking about her. He's in his truck, trying to leave her driveway, but he's tempted to turn around and go back to her. He knows that if he goes back, he could end up saying something that he can't take back. But his heart is urging him to try, and he's willing to take that risk just to see her again. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who's ever struggled with the decision to pursue a romantic relationship or to let it go.


The theme of the song is about letting go of your fears and insecurities and taking a chance on love. The singer is wrestling with his own doubts and uncertainties about whether he should follow his heart or his head. He wants to reconnect with his love interest, but he's worried about the risks and the consequences of opening up to her. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "back standing on your front porch," which represents the idea of returning to the beginning of the relationship, like hitting a reset button.


Line by Line Meaning

It's the end of the night
The night is coming to an end


I find myself kissing you goodbye
Saying goodbye to the person he was with


Trying like hell to pull this truck out of your driveway
Struggling to leave


If I make it down the street
If he successfully leaves


And that red light is almost green
A traffic light is changing color


Just a couple left turns
Making a few turns


And I'll be flying down the highway
Driving fast down the road


Ooh, can't stop thinking about you
He cannot stop thinking about the person he was with


Back standing on your front porch
Returning to the house where he was with the person earlier


Back knocking on your front way
Knocking on the front door to enter the house


Back into those save me arms
Returning to the embrace of the person he was with


Only you could make me feel like that
No one else can make him feel the same way


Back getting all twisted up
Feeling confused and conflicted


Back with it on the tip of my tongue
Almost saying something


About to say something, say something
Wanting to speak his mind


Something I can't take back
Saying something he will regret


There ain't no way to know
There is no way to predict


What you're gonna say when I let it go
Not knowing the other person's reaction when he speaks his mind


But my heart's finally talked my head into letting me
His emotions are persuading him to speak his mind


Say what's been running 'round my mind
Expressing his thoughts and feelings


Each and every time
Every time he is with the other person


I get my arms around you
When he embraces the other person


You got a way of getting me
The other person has a power over him


Right here in your save me arms
In the embrace of safety from the other person
