Right Back In The Water
Jesse McCartney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I'm just another one of her lies
'Cause I know we've been through this so many times
Still I'm here though I'm burning up inside
And I try to walk away but I keep telling myself
She's the one for me
'Cause her love is so contagious, it keeps pulling me in
So we're right back in the water, we're right back in the water
I could tell by the look in her eyes
All my friends keep telling me, now's the time
But I know just the notion saying goodbye
It breaks my heart, it tears me up inside
And I try to walk away but I keep telling myself
She's the one for me
'Cause her love is so contagious, it keeps pulling me in
We were meant to be and I can't leave her
So we're right back singing, ooh, c'mon, ooh, c'mon
I wanna walk by but there is something that won't let me
Singing, ooh, c'mon, ooh, c'mon
She's the one that's always there
I could tell by the look in her eyes
Maybe I'm just another one of her lies
And I try to walk away but I keep telling myself
She's the one for me
'Cause her love is so contagious, it keeps pulling me in
We were meant to be and I can't leave her
So we're right back in the water, we're right back in the water, yeah
The lyrics of Jesse McCartney's song Right Back in the Water speak about a guy who is caught up in a relationship that he knows is not good for him. The lyrics describe his internal struggle to leave this relationship even though he knows that he's just another one of her lies. The line "I try to walk away but I keep telling myself she's the one for me" highlights his inner turmoil. Despite knowing that he needs to leave, he can't help but stay, and her love is just too contagious for him to break free from her. He is burning up inside but he cannot help but be pulled back into the water, back into the relationship.
The chorus of the song "so we're right back in the water, we're right back in the water" represents how the couple seems to keep going back to the start, no matter how many times they've been down this road before. They keep returning to each other, even though they know deep down that it's not right. The song portrays the struggle of love, how we keep getting drawn to the same people, the same problems, and the same emotions.
