Back In Your Head
Lakes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday I felt your weighted breathe upon my lips
That loaded kiss
I felt the rain, cold as your heart became
Your fingertips pushed me away
But you an go where you'll go
I'll be close behind, taking up your head
Your head
Run away, run where you can.
It won't be long before I get back in
Get back in your head
Run away, make all your plans
It won't be long before I
Get back in
Get back in your head
I'll get back in your head

When you sleep, you'll only hear me speak
And wake to find an empty room
And every day another memory of you and me won't let you be

But you can go where you'll go
I'll be close behind
Taking up your head
Your head

Run away, run where you can.
It won't be long before I get back in
Get back in your head
Run away, make all your plans
It won't be long before I
Get back in
Get back in your head
I'll get back in your head

Go where you'll go now
and I will not be far behind
I'll get back in your head

Run away, run where you can.
It won't be long before I get back in
Get back in your head
Run away, make all your plans
It won't be long before I
Get back in




Get back in your head
I'll get back in your head

Line by Line Meaning

Yesterday I felt your weighted breathe upon my lips
I remember the feeling of your heavy breath on my lips from the previous day


That loaded kiss
It was a powerful, overwhelming kiss


I felt the rain, cold as your heart became
As we parted, the rain felt as cold as your demeanor towards me


Your fingertips pushed me away
You physically pushed me away from you, showing me that you wanted distance


But you an go where you'll go
You can go wherever you want to go


I'll be close behind, taking up your head
I'll always be on your mind, even if we're apart


Your head
I'll be on your mind


Run away, run where you can.
Go ahead and run away as far as you can


It won't be long before I get back in
I'll find a way to get back into your thoughts soon enough


Get back in your head
I'll make my way back into your thoughts


Run away, make all your plans
Keep making plans to distance yourself from me


When you sleep, you'll only hear me speak
Even as you're sleeping, I'll be on your mind, speaking to you in your dreams


And wake to find an empty room
You'll wake up to an empty, lonely room without me there


And every day another memory of you and me won't let you be
You'll be haunted by our memories together every day, unable to forget me


Go where you'll go now
Go wherever you want to go from here on out


and I will not be far behind
But know that I'll always be close behind, even if you don't see me


I'll get back in your head
I know I'll find a way to get back into your thoughts

@CottonCandyCocoNut I posted these because I some how found out about them, but there were no real videos of theirs up and I wanted to share it with everyone else. Sadly enough I don't know much about these guys. I surprised they didn't put it up themselves. Enjoy the tunes!!!

Ben Smith

Do they have this on CD?

Johnny Harlem

They're a band from Atascadero, CA. I've seen them a few times in SLO. First time I saw them they opened for Cold War Kids. They're pretty good, I mean not as good as CWK, but ya know.
