Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

'Cause I'm bringing you back to life

Our love's enough
Transcending us through space and time
It's holding up
It keeps you and me intertwined

What's a pipe dream if you ain't trying to do it?
What's a heartbreak if you ain't crying all through it?
What's a sunset if you ain't riding into it?
Let's drive into it

'Cause I'm bringing you back to life (back)
And I know that you're gone, but I swear that you're here
It's a feeling that won't disappear
And you're bringing me back to life (back)
I was looking for something that I couldn't find
It's a feeling you give me inside

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause I'm bringing you back to life
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
This feeling's coming back to life

Our memories
They're more than just our history (our history)
They lift me up
They flow like electricity (oh, oh, oh)

What's a pipe dream if you ain't trying to do it?
What's a heartbreak if you ain't crying all through it?
What's a sunset if you ain't riding into it?
Let's drive into it

'Cause I'm bringing you back to life (back)
And I know that you're gone but I swear that you're here
It's a feeling that won't disappear
And you're bringing me back to life (back)
I was looking for something that I couldn't find
It's a feeling you give me inside

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause I'm bringing you back to life
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I can see you in the night
Coming through like flashing lights
When the world is passing by
Oh, oh, oh
I can see you in the night
Coming through like flashing lights
When the world is passing by
Oh, oh, oh (oh)

'Cause I'm bringing you back to life (back)
And I know that you're gone but I swear that you're here
It's a feeling that won't disappear
And you're bringing me back to life (back)
I was looking for something that I couldn't find
It's a feeling you give me inside
'Cause I'm bringing you back
'Cause I'm bringing you back
'Cause I'm bringing you back to life
'Cause I'm bringing you back to life
And you're bringing me back
And you're bringing me back
And you're bringing me back to life
This feeling's coming back to life

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause I'm bringing you back to life
Oh, oh, oh, oh




Oh, oh, oh, oh
This feeling's coming back to life

@mshaiz5440

Last night i went to watch Bumblebee and it was the best experience for 2 reasons:
1) Hailee appears in it <3
2) It is the 1st movie that i go to where people actually enjoy it (let me explain), every time something bad would happen EVERYONE in the theater would go "wow, or oooo", or when something funny would happen EVERYONE would laugh. TBH i have watched probably 80% of the movies that go on my local movie theater and I have never been in a theater / movie where people actually did that so it was a first time for me and I will forever remember that experience, my dad was even smiling the whole entire movie (and he usually sleeps every time we go watch a movie, i'm not kidding) so that makes it even better.





Edit: Omg ty for the likes

I don't care about what the critics say, Bumblebee is a great movie. I like how it had an emotional touch to it & was family friendly. Back to life is also a great song.

@zakariyyaatariq2049

It had great reviews

@TheRecklessPunisher

The critics did say the movie is great and it's 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

@tonyparra8459

It did a pretty good job, finally a Transformers movie without Michael Bay.

@gmartinez9045

@Tony parra he was an executive producer

@SantinoS_

The critics aren't staying anything bad. In fact they're all good reviews 🤨

This song gives pure 80's feel. Even in live concert she did great job. No auto tune, sound effect just magic of her own voice <3

@marksIItimewarps

This song brings the 80's Back to Life🤗 My dad's first car was a yellow VW Beetle back in 1987, same year setting in the movie and the last movie he ever watched before he passed away was in fact, Bumblebee. So many fond memories of the 80's, with my dad and family, and that car. This song brings me back to those times!💛

May his soul reast in peace
