Back to You
Me In Motion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With my back to you
When all I ever do
Is always lose my way
Stumbling through the darkness
Led me to the truth
That I need your grace
I'm coming home, runnin' back to you
Arms open wide
I've seen the light
And I wanna get back to you
I never meant to hurt you
Doin' what I did
I'm sorry for the way I went
And strayed so far
But I finally had a breakthrough
You are what true love is
It's who you are
I wanna fall into your arms
Get back to where you are
I'm coming home, runnin' back to you
Arms open wide
I've seen the light
And I wanna get back to you
There's nothing left to hide
Standin' by your side
I wanna fall into your arms
Get back to where you are
I'm coming home tonight
Arms open wide
And I've seen the light
And I wanna get back to you
I'm runnin' back to you tonight
The lyrics of Me In Motion's song "Back to You" are about finding one's way back to someone who has been lost, in this case, a lover. This is illustrated through lines such as "Walkin' around is pointless with my back to you" and "When all I ever do is always lose my way." The singer is lost, and it is through stumbling through darkness that he has a breakthrough and realizes that he needs the person he has lost. This is explained through the lines, "Stumbling through the darkness led me to the truth that I need your grace." He then decides to come back home, to the person that he has left behind. He acknowledges that they might have been hurt by his actions and apologizes through the line, "I never meant to hurt you doin' what I did. I'm sorry for the way I went and strayed so far."
The lyrics in "Back to You" express a common theme in love songs - the idea of redemption and forgiveness. The singer has realized where he has gone wrong and wants to make it right by coming back to the one he loves. The chorus is particularly powerful, as it repeats the line "I'm coming home, runnin' back to you," accentuating the determination of the singer to make things right.
