DoubleBack
Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don’t wanna be without you
You’re the only reason that I live
I never realized how much I missed you
Until the day you were gone gone gone
I should have told you (I love you)
Showed you (I love you)
And now you’re gone and all I can do is
Doubleback
We gotta doubleback
Found myself again in the wrong direction
GPS love is a lost connection
Now I gotta turn around
Doubleback
If I’m gonna find your affection
Then I need to doubleback
I really could have treated you better
I could’ve been a better man
But I had with you was precious
I really didn’t understand
I just couldn’t see it coming
You started makin other plans, other plans
I should have told you (I love you)
Showed you (I love you)
Took everything to stand behind you
And now you’re gone and all I can do is
Doubleback
Gotta doubleback
Found myself again in the wrong direction
GPS love is a lost connection
Now I gotta turn around
Doubleback
If I’m gonna find your affection
Then I need to doubleback
No one else I’ve seen is good enough
So I finally reach the point of giving up
I don’t know what else to do
Could it be another you?
So until then I gotta…
Doubleback
Gotta find my way back
Found myself again in the wrong direction
GPS love is a lost connection
Now I gotta do…
Doubleback
If I’m gonna find your affection
Then I need to doubleback
Doubleback
Gotta doubleback
Found myself again in the wrong direction
GPS love is a lost connection
Now I gotta turn around
Doubleback
If I’m gonna find your affection
Then I need to doubleback
Doubleback
A way to find myself
Found myself again in the wrong direction
GPS love is a lost connection
Now I gotta turn around
Doubleback
If I’m gonna find your affection
Then I need to doubleback
The lyrics to Joe's song "DoubleBack" speak to the regret of not realizing the value of someone until after they're gone. The singer wishes he had given everything he had to give and been a better man to the one he loved. He recognizes that he took the relationship for granted and didn't understand how precious it was until it was too late. The title "DoubleBack" refers to the need to turn around and make things right in order to potentially regain the love and affection that was lost.
The chorus repeats the idea of "doubleback," highlighting the need to reverse course and head back in the right direction. The singer acknowledges that he's lost his way and that the GPS of the relationship is no longer connected. He needs to retrace his steps and find his way back to the person he loves. The line "Could it be another you?" suggests that he's considered moving on, but ultimately decides that he needs to try to make things right with the person he's lost.
Overall, "DoubleBack" is a heartfelt song about the pain of lost love and the desire to make amends. The clear message is that it's never too late to try to fix things, even if it requires going back to the beginning.
