Back To You
Gomez Selena Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Took you like a shot
Thought that I could chase you with a cold evening
Let a couple years water down how I'm feeling about you
(Feeling about you)
And every time we talk
Every single word builds up to this moment
And I gotta convince myself I don't want it
Even though I do (even though I do)

You could break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it's forward, but it's true

I wanna hold you when I'm not supposed to
When I'm lying close to someone else
You're stuck in my head and I can't get you out of it
If I could do it all again
I know I'd go back to you
I know I'd go back to you
I know I'd go back to you

We never got it right
Playing and replaying old conversations
Overthinking every word and I hate it
'Cause it's not me ('cause it's not me)
And what's the point in hiding?
Everybody knows we got unfinished business
And I'll regret it if I didn't say
This isn't what it could be (isn't what it could be)

You could break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it's forward, but it's true

I wanna hold you when I'm not supposed to
When I'm lying close to someone else
You're stuck in my head and I can't get you out of it
If I could do it all again
I know I'd go back to you
I know I'd go back to you
I'd go back to you
I'd go back to you
What was there wasn't sure
But I'd go back to you
I know I'd go back to you

You can break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it's forward, but it's true
Won't lie, I'd go back to you
You know, my thoughts are running loose
It's just a thing you make me do
And I could fight, but what's the use?
I know I'd go back to you

I wanna hold you when I'm not supposed to
When I'm lying close to someone else
You're stuck in my head and I can't get you out of it
If I could do it all again
I know I'd go back to you
I'd go back to you
I'll go back to you
I know I'd go back to you
(I'd go back to you, I'd go back to you)
I know I'd go back to you
(Go back to you, go back to you)




(Go back to you, go back to you)
(Go back to you, go back to you)

Overall Meaning

In the song "Back to You" by Gomez Selena, the lyrics describe a complicated and intense romantic relationship. The opening lines, "Took you like a shot, thought that I could chase you with a cold evening," suggest that the singer was initially infatuated with the person they are singing about. They believed that their feelings would fade over time, but the emotions for this person have only grown stronger.


The next part of the song portrays the struggle the singer faces when interacting with this person. Their conversations are filled with tension and anticipation, building up to a significant moment. Despite trying to convince themselves that they don't want this person, the truth is that they still desire them.


The chorus reveals the conflict within the singer's heart. They acknowledge that this person could hurt them deeply, but even after healing, their heart still beats for them. It is a forward and honest admission of their true feelings, regardless of the potential consequences.


The second verse delves into the regrets and overthinking that plague the singer when considering their past interactions with this person. They mention unfinished business, indicating that there are unresolved feelings between them. Hiding and pretending that the relationship is insignificant is no longer an option, as everyone knows there is something more to their connection.


The chorus is repeated once again, emphasizing the singer's longing to hold this person, even when they're in the arms of someone else. They are unable to escape thoughts of this person, feeling stuck with their presence in their mind. If given the chance, they would go back to them, erasing the mistakes and missed opportunities of the past.


The bridge acknowledges that the specifics of the relationship were uncertain, but even with that uncertainty, the singer would still go back to this person. Their thoughts are consumed by this individual, and no matter how much they try to resist, they can't escape the pull towards them.


The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the singer's overwhelming desire to return to this person. They admit that their thoughts are out of control and that even if they tried to fight against going back, it would be futile. The song closes with a deep understanding that, despite the challenges and doubts, they would inevitably go back to this person because their love for them is undeniable.

@SelenaGomezIlluminati

Selena is a deceiver & a hypocrite. She craves FAME & WEALTH & wants to be in the SPOTLIGHT ALWAYS. Sold her SOUL long time AGO & FOOLED the world for YEARS. TIME THE TRUTH GOT EXPOSED. Profile pic is number 666 (AntiChrist) same Illuminati symbolism that Lady Gaga, Justin, Dua Lipa & so on used.

Selena Gomez admitted to having a "pizza" party on Ellen with Jennifer Anniston & we all know why they always talk about pizza parties. SELENA & 99% OF THE OTHER CELEBS ARE PART OF THE ILLUMINATI 🔺

Pizza is CODE in Hollyweird. Even Obama/Hilary Clinton also used that term aka Pizzagate which means adrenochrome which means they torture/kill children to harvest the chemical adrenochrome from their blood.

ONLY 1% WALK WITH GOD.

Illuminati/elite runs the show. Universal, Feds, Prison systems, NBA, NFL. Kpop, Disney & Hollywood 🔺
Entertainment industry heavily controlled by SATAN (LUCIFER)
Companies work for the ELITES. WAKE UP CALL & PEOPLE NEED TO OPEN THEIR EYES
