Back to Good
Jonathan Clay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And Take a Breath
And Let yourself down slow
Gather Up your memories
Hold on to what you know
And everythings been moving way to fast
You thought that you'd found something that would last
And it passed
That in your mind
Your putting up your guard
Trust me when
I say its not
Supposed to be this hard
You'll fall again
And it will feel so fast
And every single fear you thought would last
It'll pass
And you'll fall again
And it'll feel so fast
And every single fear
And Every single fear
Will pass
And Do I have to let go
And watch you walk away
And Do I have to let go
And wish you would've stayed
I think I'll just play the part
I think I'll just play the part
And It may take some time
Before you find that
You're back to good again
Right where you should have been
And even though
The letting go, can
Can be the hardest part
I think its time you start
Living like you're loved again, I
I don't care where youve been
I wish you'd let me in
And show me how to get you
Show me how to get you back to good
Back to good
Get you back to good
Back to good

Take a While
Take a moment to reflect on your current situation
And Take a Breath
Take a deep breath to calm yourself down
And Let yourself down slow
Take it slow and don't rush into anything
Gather Up your memories
Remember your past experiences
Hold on to what you know
Don't forget the lessons you've learned
And everythings been moving way to fast
Life has been happening too quickly
You thought that you'd found something that would last
You believed you found something permanent
And it passed
But it didn't last
So if you find
If you discover
That in your mind
In your thoughts
Your putting up your guard
You're being defensive
Trust me when
Believe me when
I say its not
I tell you it isn't
Supposed to be this hard
Meant to be this difficult
You'll fall again
You will make the same mistakes again
And it will feel so fast
It will happen so quickly
And every single fear you thought would last
And every fear you had won't last
It'll pass
It will eventually go away
And you'll fall again
You'll repeat your mistakes
And it'll feel so fast
It will happen quickly again
And every single fear
And all of your fears
And Every single fear
And all of your fears
Will pass
Won't last forever
And Do I have to let go
Do I need to move on
And watch you walk away
And see you leave
And Do I have to let go
And do I need to move on
And wish you would've stayed
And regret that you left
I think I'll just play the part
I'll pretend things are fine
I think I'll just play the part
I'll act like everything is okay
And It may take some time
It will need some time
Before you find that
Until you realize
You're back to good again
You're feeling better now
Right where you should have been
Where you belong
And even though
Despite the fact that
The letting go, can
It's hard to move on
Can be the hardest part
It's usually the most difficult aspect
I think its time you start
It's time for you to begin
Living like you're loved again, I
Feeling loved again
I don't care where youve been
Your past doesn't matter
I wish you'd let me in
I wish you'd open up to me
And show me how to get you
Help me know you better
Show me how to get you back to good
Show me how to make you feel good again
Back to good
Back to feeling better
Get you back to good
Help you feel better
Back to good
Back to feeling better
