Back Again
Parachute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I did my time, I paid my price
All these things I did
I lost my feet, You said your piece
I thought that that was it

So while you sleep so peacefully
And all your sins are buried deep
While you're dreaming I'm outside
Digging up the ones I missed

When's it coming back again
When's it coming back around again
I don't ever know
When it's coming back again
You can try all you want
But the past knows what you did
And I can't seem to get away from it
When's it coming back again
When's it coming back around
Baby coming back around again

I've been chewed up, I've been spit out
Never thought to quit
I've taken blows and felt them all
But nothing close to this

So when you sleep so peacefully
And all your sins are buried deep
While you're dreaming I'm outside
Digging up the ones I missed

When's it coming back again
When's it coming back around again
I don't ever know
When it's coming back again
You can try all you want
But the past knows what you did
And I can't seem to get away from it
When's it coming back again
When's it coming back around
Baby coming back around again

My back's against the wall
I'm feeling for the door
But I can't find it, as the knife slides into me
And as I'm standing there oh she walks in
And blurry fears are coming clear
And I can finally see

When's it coming back again
When's it coming back around again
I don't ever know
When it's coming back again
You can try all you want
But the past knows what you did
And I can't seem to get away from it
When's it coming back again
When's it coming back around
Baby coming back around again

When's it coming back again
When's it coming back around again
(When's it coming back)
When it's coming back again ooh

And I can't seem to get away from it
When's it coming back again
When's it coming back around
Baby coming back around




Coming back around
Baby coming back around again

Line by Line Meaning

I did my time, I paid my price
I have served my sentence and made amends


All these things I did
I have committed many wrongs


I lost my feet, You said your piece
I stumbled and made mistakes, and you pointed out my faults


I thought that that was it
I believed the matter was resolved


While you're dreaming I'm outside, Digging up the ones I missed
While you are sleeping peacefully, I am still haunted by my past mistakes and trying to make amends for them


When's it coming back again When's it coming back around again, I don't ever know When it's coming back again
I am constantly waiting for my past mistakes to resurface, and I never know when it will happen


You can try all you want But the past knows what you did And I can't seem to get away from it
I cannot escape my past and the wrongs I have committed, no matter how hard I try


I've been chewed up, I've been spit out Never thought to quit I've taken blows and felt them all But nothing close to this
I have endured many hardships, but nothing compares to the burden of my past mistakes


My back's against the wall, I'm feeling for the door But I can't find it, as the knife slides into me
I am trapped and vulnerable, unable to escape the pain and consequences of my actions


And as I'm standing there oh she walks in And blurry fears are coming clear And I can finally see
In the midst of my turmoil, someone important enters my life, bringing clarity to my fears and past mistakes


Baby coming back around again
I am constantly waiting for my past to come back to haunt me
