Back And Forth
James DeBerg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been thinking did you mean what you said
If you were mine I'd do this differently
And now I wonder who you keep in your bed cuz you've been everywhere but close to me
And I can't really say that this ended on a high note
Oh I think she hates me but what the hell do I know
Now we getting wasted mixing up the white gold
I been back and forth from the bay to San Diego
I been back and forth now, I been back and forth now

Like how the hell am I supposed to battle with it, I ain't really got the tools to go and fix it
Mind made up, I stayed up late tryna find the words to get it like
Know that we been off and, I know I do it differently I'm on that
There's probably better guys and they catch your eye, but I just do it best like top to floor and
Know that I lied before, know that I'm the reason that your mind war
Know that I'd buy the store, when I get the M's I get it all for sure yeah
Told her that it's all for you but now I hide the feeling with the benz oh
She goin every night to a different show with them different friends and them different clothes

I've been thinking did you mean what you said
If you were mine I'd do this differently
And now I wonder who you keep in your bed cuz you've been everywhere but close to me
And I can't really say that this ended on a high note
Oh I think she hates me but what the hell do I know
Now we getting wasted mixing up the white gold
I been back and forth from the bay to San Diego
I been back and forth now, I been back and forth now

Now you got me in my head again, I don't wanna feel like that I hope you come right back oh no
Reminiscing over everything, and I'm falling to pieces I hope that you need me to
I think that you know where I go, when I fall to pieces and feeling alone
Promise that you call me when you're home, I hope you feel better now cuz I'm breaking down
oh no

And you know that I know you need it

And you know I can't feel complete when everything's falling to pieces
I hope you see me when you're dreaming

you know that I know you need it




And you know I can't feel complete when everything's falling to pieces
I hope you see me when you're dreaming.

Overall Meaning

In James DeBerg's song Back and Forth, the lyrics tell the story of a complicated and tumultuous romantic relationship. The singer is reflecting on their past with their partner and wondering if their words and actions truly meant what they seemed to mean. There is regret and longing evident in the lyrics as the singer acknowledges that if they were still together, things would be different. But as the song goes on, it becomes clear that there is more going on beneath the surface.


The singer admits to lying and being the reason for their past problems, but also expresses a desire to make things right. However, there is a sense of hopelessness in their tone, as they recognize that their partner has moved on and is pursuing a life outside of their relationship. They drink and do drugs to cope with their feelings of isolation and heartbreak, but ultimately it seems that they are still stuck in the same cycle of back and forth. The final lines of the song express a wish for their partner to see them in their dreams, indicating that the relationship is truly over but the emotions continue to linger.
