Back in Time
Raghav Meattle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I might be slightly obsessed
I still show no signs of slowin' down
If I'd met you a few years ago
I wonder how life would've been before

I might be slightly obsessed
I still won't let these words come out
If I'd met you a few years ago
I wonder how life would've been before

But I can go back to the places when we were four
But I can go back to the places when we didn't know
That time didn't stay still, and the earth wasn't round
And I can't go back in time

You go to the hills for a month or two
But pack me in your plans like I would too
I've played it cool and it might be too soon
I wonder how life will be with you, fool

But I can go back to the places when we didn't know
That time didn't stay still and the earth wasn't round
But I can go back to the places when we were alone




We climb those trees but my words are on the ground
And I can't go back in time
