Back To You
Goapele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sitting in my room
Thinking back on you,
Memories pass;
My head was leaned against your face
partly on your shoulder, curving your neck.
I tried to clear my thoughts of stress
And let go of the day,
How it began,
whispered your name-

Soft white lights between us falling
forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
beautiful and floating down on us
sparkles flying towards us dancing all around us
vanish in air
But you left before you knew
A future holding you.
All you saw of me-
My heart should speak for me,
Then you'd understand
that push away-
It craves compassion and
strong arms to hold her.
You and me
Revolving
angel wings
fluttering
Orange gold
Sunsets bold
Star filled nights
Sweet as Fantasia
And still
A glow surrounding you
The dandelions blew
Our wishes to the wind
Come and bring him back again

Soft white lights between us falling
forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
beautiful and floating down on us
sparkles flying towards us dancing all around us
vanish in air
And I wonder how you felt
-I was melting inside
Opened my eyes
-Felt so bright I was blind
The car we hadn't left
I closed the door
behind
-And I wished you would take me away.
You left before I waved.
By then it was too late.
I wished on the moon
I'd always remember-
You and me
Revolving
angel wings
fluttering
Orange gold
Sunsets bold
Star filled nights
Sweet as Fantasia

Soft white lights between us falling
forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
beautiful and floating down on us




sparkles flying towards us dancing all around us
vanish in air

Overall Meaning

Goapele’s song “Back to You” is a romantic ballad that describes a relationship that ended too soon. It starts with her reminiscing about the good times she shared with her lover, and how she misses him. She remembers when they were close, his face close to hers and her body leaning on his shoulders. She tried to clear her mind of all the chaos and focus on the beautiful moment they were having. Then you hear her whisper her lover's name as if he were still there with her.


The chorus then describes the beauty of their connection, from the way that the soft white lights are falling between them and forming precious chartreuse flowers floating around them, to the way sparkles fly towards them and dance all around. However, she realizes that he left before he could see their future together holding him, and without seeing the depths of her heart. All she wants is someone to hold her in their arms, someone to be there for her.


As the song progresses, she describes the beautiful moments that they shared together - from the orange gold sunsets to the star-filled nights. They were like two angels, their wings fluttering in harmony, holding each other close. However, her lover left before she could even wave her farewell. By the time she wanted him to take her away, it was already too late. The song ends with her wishing on the moon that she’ll always remember the love they shared.

Partly on your shoulder, curving your neck.

Soft white lights between us falling
Forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
Beautiful and floating down on us
Sparkles flying towards us dancing all around us
Vanish in air

But you left before you knew
A future holding you.
All you saw of me-
My heart should speak for me,
Then you'd understand
That push away-
It craves compassion and
Strong arms to hold her.

You and me

A glow surrounding you
The dandelions blew
Our wishes to the wind
Come and bring him back again

@GABRIELRIVER

Estoy sentado en mi habitación
Pensando en ti,
Los recuerdos pasan;
Mi cabeza estaba apoyada contra tu rostro
En parte sobre tu hombro, curvando tu cuello.
Traté de aclarar mis pensamientos sobre el estrés
Y deja ir el día,
Cómo comenzó,
Susurró tu nombre-

[coro]
Blancas luces blancas entre nosotros cayendo
Formando flores preciosas, chartreuse
Hermoso y flotando sobre nosotros
Destellos volando hacia nosotros bailando a nuestro alrededor
Desaparecer en el aire

Pero te fuiste antes de que supieras
Un futuro que te abraza
Todo lo que viste de mí-
Mi corazón debería hablar por mí,
Entonces entenderías
Ese empuje-
Anhela compasión y
Fuertes brazos para sostenerla.

Tu y yo
Giratorio
alas de angel
Revoloteando
Oro naranja
Puestas de sol
Noches llenas de estrellas
Dulce como Fantasia

Y todavía
Un resplandor que te rodea
Los dientes de león volaron
Nuestros deseos al viento
Ven y tráelo de vuelta otra vez

[coro]
Blancas luces blancas entre nosotros cayendo
Formando flores preciosas, chartreuse
Hermoso y flotando sobre nosotros
Destellos volando hacia nosotros bailando a nuestro alrededor
Desaparecer en el aire

Y me pregunto cómo te sentiste
-Me estaba derritiendo en el interior
Abrí mis ojos
-Felt tan brillante que estaba ciego
El auto que no nos quedaba
Yo cerré la puerta
Detrás
-Y deseé que me lleves lejos.

Te fuiste antes de saludar.
Para entonces ya era demasiado tarde.
Yo deseé en la luna
Yo siempre recordaría-

Tu y yo
Giratorio
alas de angel
Revoloteando
Oro naranja
Puestas de sol
Noches llenas de estrellas
Dulce como Fantasia

[coro]
Blancas luces blancas entre nosotros cayendo
Formando flores preciosas, chartreuse
Hermoso y flotando sobre nosotros
Destellos volando hacia nosotros bailando a nuestro alrededor
Desaparecer en el aire...

I'm sitting in my room
Thinking back on you,
Memories pass;
My head was leaned against your face
Partly on your shoulder, curving your neck.
I tried to clear my thoughts of stress
And let go of the day,
How it began,
Whispered your name-

[chorus]
Soft white lights between us falling
Forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
Beautiful and floating down on us
Sparkles flying towards us dancing all around us
Vanish in air

But you left before you knew
A future holding you.
All you saw of me-
My heart should speak for me,
Then you'd understand
That push away-
It craves compassion and
Strong arms to hold her.

You and me
Revolving
Angel wings
Fluttering
Orange gold
Sunsets bold

And still
A glow surrounding you
The dandelions blew
Our wishes to the wind
Come and bring him back again

Soft white lights between us falling
Forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
Beautiful and floating down on us
Sparkles flying towards us dancing all around us
Vanish in air

And I wonder how you felt
-I was melting inside
Opened my eyes
-Felt so bright I was blind
The car we hadn't left
I closed the door

-And I wished you would take me away.

You left before I waved.
By then it was too late.
I wished on the moon
I'd always remember-

You and me

Soft white lights between us falling
Forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
