Right Back
Joan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think I'm addicted 'cause I just can't get enough
Got my heart racing, you got me floating up
Floating up
Am I in heaven, up in the clouds?
Things have been different ever since you came around
Something about you feels like I'm coming home
Yeah, you know
You got me coming right back, right back
When I've been getting sidetracked, sidetracked
But I think you kinda like that, like that
Yeah, you know it won't be long
'Cause you got me coming right back
Insomnia
Had trouble sleeping since you came and woke me up
I'm lucid dreaming, you got me floating up
Floating up
Let's go to yours, clothes on the floor and close the door
You got me hooked with every look I can't ignore
Let's leave our backs facing the past
My future is yours, yeah, you know
You got me coming right back, right back
When I've been getting sidetracked, sidetracked
But I think you kinda like that, like that
Yeah, you know it won't be long
'Cause you got me coming right back, right back
When I've been getting sidetracked, sidetracked
But I think you kinda like that, like that
Yeah, you know it won't be long
'Cause you got me coming
I come right back around like a boomerang, boomerang, baby
You take me right back now like a runaway, runaway, yeah yeah
You know that I can't live without you
With everything we've been through, you on me like a tattoo
You know exactly what you're doing
You just keep on proving I don't wanna lose you
You got me coming right back, right back
When I've been getting sidetracked, sidetracked
But I think you kinda like that, like that
Yeah, you know it won't be long
'Cause you got me coming right back, right back (you got me coming right back)
When I've been getting sidetracked, sidetracked
But I think you kinda like that, like that (I think you kinda like that)
Yeah, you know it won't be long
'Cause you got me coming (right back)
I come right back around like a boomerang
You take me right back now like a runaway
You know that I can't live without you
You know exactly what you doing, ooh
The first stanza of Joan's song "Right Back" talks about how the persona feels towards their lover. They describe their lover as a drug they can't get enough of; they have my heart racing and my head in the clouds. It's like they are living in heaven on earth. Things have been different since the lover came around; it feels like they have finally come home. The persona acknowledges that they keep getting sidetracked, but their lover always has them coming back to them. It's clear that the persona is deeply in love with this person.
In the second stanza, the persona confesses that they suffer from insomnia and that they have been lured into lucid dreaming because of their lover. They want to go to their lover's place and be with them. It's like they are addicted to them, hooked on every look they give. The persona believes that their future lies with their lover, and they can't stop thinking about them. The persona has faith in their relationship, as their lover knows exactly what they are doing.
The chorus of the song cements the idea that the persona is addicted to their lover, and no matter how sidetracked they get, they always find their way back to each other. The line "I come right back around like a boomerang, boomerang, baby" illustrates this idea perfectly. The persona can't live without their lover, and they know that their relationship is permanent.
