back to the future
See everybody's always asking me if i'm okay i laugh,
try to play it off like you didn't mean a thing
but who am i fooling cause girl it's plain to see
you are my everything
and when it's late at night, sometimes i close my eyes
think about the days, back when you were mine
but then i'm back to the future again
You're on my mind 24/7, all the timei press rewind but i can't seem to stop the time
i keep fighting, tryna hold onto the past
but then i'm back to the future again
back to the future,
back to the future again
back to the future,
back to the future again
If we could go back in time, could we fix it?
and if i gave you a chance, could you change?
and all the damage we've done, can we mend it?
somehow erase the pain
and when it's late at night, sometimes i close my eyes
and i imagine us in another life
turn back the hands of time to it
but then i'm back to the future again
You're on my mind 24/7, all the time
i press rewind but i can't seem to stop the time
i keep fighting,
tryna hold onto the past
but then i'm back to the future again
Girl if i come to the rescue
go back in time, try to save you
said it was destiny, girl would you trust in me
like we were meant to be
oh boy i try to forget you
but my heart can't seem to let you
no i can't say goodbye, no matter how hard i try
i just can't let you go
The lyrics of Matt Cab feat. Jordyn Taylor's song Back to the Future express the pain and longing of a person who has lost their love and is unable to forget them. The singer imagines going back in time to when they were together and fixing their past mistakes to erase the pain. They admit that they can't stop thinking about their ex-partner and try to hold onto the past, but then realize they are back in the present, unable to change anything. The song portrays the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of reminiscing about the past and trying to move on but failing to do so.
The chorus of “Back to the Future” reinforces the theme of going back in time and returning to the present. The paradoxical nature of the lyrics shows that despite the desire to go back to the past, the singer knows deep down that it is impossible. The use of the phrase "back to the future" serves as a metaphor for recreating the past, fixing their mistakes, and hoping for a better future.
Overall, the song Back to the Future talks about the difficulty of letting go of someone you love and moving on from the past. Through its poignant lyrics and emotive melody, the song captures the sentiments of loss, longing, and the hope for a better future.

Back to the future
Reflecting on the past and how it affects the present
See everybody's always asking me if i'm okay i laugh,
People inquire about my well-being, but I pretend everything is fine
try to play it off like you didn't mean a thing
I act like your absence doesn't affect me
but who am i fooling cause girl it's plain to see
However, it's evident that I am not fooling anyone
you are my everything
You are important to me, and I cherish you
and when it's late at night, sometimes i close my eyes
At night, I reminisce about the past and how we used to be together
think about the days, back when you were mine
I recall the days when you were my significant other
turn back the hands of time to it
I wish I could go back in time and relive those moments
but then i'm back to the future again
However, I realize that it is impossible and must come back to the present
You're on my mind 24/7, all the time
You are always on my mind, and I cannot stop thinking about you
i press rewind but i can't seem to stop the time
I keep reminiscing about the past, but I cannot change it
i keep fighting, tryna hold onto the past
I persist in trying to cling to the memories of the past
If we could go back in time, could we fix it?
If we had the opportunity, could we right the wrongs of the past?
and if i gave you a chance, could you change?
If I gave you an opportunity, could you alter your behavior?
and all the damage we've done, can we mend it?
Could we repair the harm that we caused?
somehow erase the pain
Somehow eliminate the suffering
and when it's late at night, sometimes i close my eyes
At night, I imagine alternate realities where we are still together
and i imagine us in another life
I envision us having a different life together
Girl if i come to the rescue
If I had the chance to help you out
go back in time, try to save you
I'd go back in time to assist you
said it was destiny, girl would you trust in me
If I told you it was fate, would you believe me and trust me?
like we were meant to be
Like we were destined to be together
oh boy i try to forget you
I attempt to forget about you, but I can't
but my heart can't seem to let you
My heart won't allow me to forget about you
no i can't say goodbye, no matter how hard i try
I cannot bring myself to say goodbye, no matter how much I try to move on
i just can't let you go
I am unable to move on and let you go
back to the future, back to the future again
I keep oscillating between the past and the present
