Back to You
Jason Blaine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back to you
It always comes around
Back to you
I tried to forget you
I tried to stay away
But it's too late

Over you
I'm never over
Over you
It's something about you
It's just the way you move
The way you move me

Yeah, I'm so good at forgetting
And I quit every game I play
But forgive me, love
I can't turn and walk away this way

Back to you
It always comes around
Back to you
I walk with your shadow
I'm sleeping in my bed
With your silhouette

Yeah, should've smiled in that picture
If it's the last that I'll see of you
It's the least that you could not do

Leave the light on
I'll never give up on you
Leave the light on
For me, too
Yeah

Back to me
I know that it comes
Back to me
Doesn't it scare you




Your will is not as strong
As it used to be

Overall Meaning

In Jason Blaine's song "Back to You," the lyrics convey a sense of longing for an ex-lover. The singer has tried to move on, but their emotions continuously pull them back towards the person they had left. The opening lines of the chorus, "Back to you, it always comes around," highlight the feeling of inevitability that the singer experiences when it comes to their feelings for their ex. The repeated use of the phrase "Back to you" emphasizes the cyclical nature of their relationship.


The singer also expresses their inability to forget their ex, and the way they feel when they're around them. The line, "It's something about you, it's just the way you move, the way you move me," suggests that their attraction to their ex is beyond their control. Furthermore, the line, "I'm never over, over you," emphasizes how the singer can't move on from their ex, and how their feelings get rekindled every time they come into contact with them. The song closes with the lines, "Back to me, I know that it comes, back to me, doesn't it scare you, your will is not as strong as it used to be." These lyrics suggest that the singer is aware that their ex will eventually come back to them, and that their will to resist is getting weaker.
