BACK TO YOUR LOVE
Night Riots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say that you love me, you're tired and lonely
This don't feel the same
Take me back to your love
I never say it loud enough for you
Take me back to your tears
Before you calmed your fears I know
Stand in the doorway act like we're ok, why can't this feel the same
Hands down, control, darling is this what we both want?
It don't feel right
I want you
I want you only
For your highs
For your lows
I want you
And I want you only
All your highs
All your lows
I want you
When you're lonely
All your highs
All your lows
Take me back to your love
The lyrics to Night Riots' song "Back To Your Love" explore the challenges of a failing relationship, and express the desire to rekindle the lost love that once existed. The opening lines depict a silent and tense atmosphere as the two characters in the song drive together, unable to express what they truly feel. The singer admits to not being able to get it right, indicating that their attempts to communicate their feelings have been unsuccessful, and that they are struggling to find the right words. Meanwhile, their partner expresses their love, but also acknowledges their tired and lonely state, indicating that they too are feeling the strain of the relationship's decline.
The chorus of the song expresses a plea to be taken back to the love that was once shared, with the singer admitting that they have not been expressing their love loudly enough. They also express a desire to return to a time when their partner's tears were a sign of their emotion and not their fear, indicating that something has changed in the dynamic of their relationship.
The second verse then sees the two characters in the song trying to maintain a sense of normalcy, as they stand together in the doorway and try to act as if everything is okay. However, there is an underlying tension, and the singer questions whether this is really what they both want. The final lines of the verse once again highlight that something doesn't feel right, and that there is a longing to return to the way things used to be.
Overall, "Back To Your Love" is an emotional exploration of the struggles that can arise within a relationship, and the desire to return to a time when things were better. It is a relatable song that captures the pain and confusion that can come with trying to navigate the complexities of human emotion and relationships.

2. YEARS.
It took me 2 YEARS to find out what this song was called, after countless times of only vaguely remembering and humming the first verse because I heard the song a bunch of times when I was younger
Eventually just now I randomly managed to remember the words "Take me back to your love" from this song, and boom. Here I am. Hooray
