JUTO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Last call for drinks, we're about to shut the party down
Sir can you get from in front of my table please
Sir, sir can you stop leaning on my table
Way back, we go way back way back, baby
Way back, we go way back way back (Oh)
Way back, we go way back, way back, baby
Got a little twinkle in your eye (Ohh)
Hopefully I'll see you later tonight
My friends all dragged me out of my room
So maybe you should come and I'll see you
Got that little quirk up in your smile
You look like you could take me for a while (Right)
I don't even want to take this chance
But I gotta stop sliding through the DM's
Way back, we go way back, way back, baby
Way back, we go way back, way back (Oh)
Way back, we go way back, way back, baby
Way back, we go way back, way back (Oh)
Falling through our sheets Monday morning
That's leaving me drowsy
Baby, I've been saying this
But I'm following you (I'm following you)
To wherever your train ticket is headed
Floating through heaven
Baby, I hate saying this but I'm not that cool
But at least you hold me down (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You hold me down most times
Known you since 1990-something (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
But I'm still left here surprised
And even though I might say the wrong things (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You still read through these lines
I've known you since day one, hey, hun
It's not that I stroke my ego
It's just that we both know we go
Way back, we go way back, way back, baby
Way back, we go way back, way back (Oh)
Way back, we go way back, way back, baby
Way back, we go way back, way back (Oh)
Way back, we go way back, way back, baby
Way back, we go way back, way back (Oh)
Way back, we go way back, way back, baby
Way back, we go way back, way back (Oh)
The lyrics of JUTO's song "Wayback" speak of nostalgia and reminiscing about a past relationship. The first few lines set the scene, indicating that the night is coming to an end and it's time to say goodbye to the good times. The next lines indicate that the singer is trying to make polite requests to someone who is getting in their personal space, probably indicating that the party is getting wild and drunk people are getting in their way.
The central theme of the song is then introduced in the chorus. The singer repeatedly says "way back, we go way back, way back, baby" indicating that they have a long history with the person they are referring to. The second verse talks about seeing the person again and noting their charming smile. The singer then says that they don't want to take any chances with their love interest, but they are still sliding into their DMs. The following lines are about the singer's feelings for the person, and how they are following them wherever they go.
The chorus repeats twice more, emphasizing the depth of their relationship as they've known each other since childhood. The song ends on a note of contentment with the acknowledgement that both the singer and the person they are talking about have a long history together, and they can move forward with the knowledge that they have each other's support.
