Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But then the phone rang.
And all of the heat came back again.
As much as I try your hard to resist
All that it takes is just one kiss
And I putty in your hands
I'm under your spell
You pull me in close,
You throw me away
I keep coming back like a boomerang.
You tell me to go,
You beg me to stay.
I keep coming back like a boomerang
Round and Round and Round and back again.
Round and Round and Round and back again.
Your treating me like I'm your little toy
You tell me I'm not like other boys.
The next thing I know you toss me aside
You don't even bother with goodbyes.
But when you say hello
I cant ignore you
You send me spinning.
You pull me in close,
You throw me away
I keep coming back like a boomerang.
You tell me to go,
You beg me to stay.
I keep coming back like a boomerang
Round and Round and Round and back again.
Round and Round and Round and back again.
Round and Round and Round and back again.
Round and Round and Round and back again.
Boom, Boom, Boom
And now my heart is racing
Boom, Boom, Boom
And after you I'm chasing
Boom, Boom, Boom
You got to catch me when I fall.
You send me spinning
You pull me in close,
You throw me away
I keep coming back like a boomerang.
You tell me to go,
You beg me to stay.
I keep coming back like a boomerang
Round and Round and Round and back again.
Round and Round and Round and back again.
Round and Round and Round and back again.
Round and Round and Round and back again.
The lyrics of “Boomerang” by Plain White T’s describe the dynamic of a relationship between two people where one person keeps coming back to the other despite being pushed away multiple times. The opening lines allude to a situation where the love between the couple has been lost or has died down, but a phone call from one of them reignites their passion. The singer is trying hard to resist the other person's charm, but just a single kiss is enough to break down their walls, leaving them vulnerable and under the other person's spell.
The chorus of the song repeats the metaphor that love is like a boomerang - one partner keeps coming back even though they are constantly being thrown away by the other person. The lyrics depict a toxic relationship where the singer is treated like a toy by the other person, tossed aside without even a goodbye. However, whenever the other person comes back around, the singer is unable to resist them, sending them spinning into the cycle of love once again.
Overall, “Boomerang” by Plain White T’s is a song that portrays the addictiveness of love and the pain that comes with a love that is not reciprocated. The lyrics convey how a person can ultimately lose control over their own emotions, even though they know they are being manipulated by someone else.
