Back To Me
Savoretti Jack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got me feeling like I'm sinking like a stone
Far from the shore, far from everyone
Feels like I'm sailing this ship on my own
In the middle of the night I'm dancing with my ghost
Where the sun don't shine and we never know where to go
But now I know, there's a lighthouse calling me
Oh, there's a lighthouse calling me
Pulling me from the blue (from the blue)
Calling me back to you (back to you)
Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me back to you (back to you)
Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me back to you (back to you)
These shifting tides are out of my control (out of my control)
But they can't keep me away from you (away from you)
It's harder than you now, harder than you think
Easier to drift, easier to sink
But I keep on coming back, back to you
In the middle of the night I'm dancing with my ghost
Where the sun don't shine and we never know where to go
But now I know, there's a lighthouse calling me
From the edge of every cliff dived to the bottom of the sea
Oh, there's a lighthouse calling me
Pulling me from the blue (from the blue)
Calling me back to you (back to you)
Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me back to you (back to you)
Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me back to you (back to you)
Shine, shine your light on me
Shine, shine your light on me
Shine, shine your light on me
Shine, shine your light on me
Shine, shine your light on me (whatever the weather, baby I'm still looking for you)
Shine, shine your light on me (whatever the weather, baby, I'm still loving you)
Shine, shine your light on me (even in the rain, you shine on)
Shine, shine your light on me (shine, shine your light on me)
Oh, there's a lighthouse calling me
From the edge of every cliff dived to the bottom of the sea
Oh, there's a lighthouse calling me
Pulling me from the blue (from the blue)
Calling me back to you (back to you)
Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me back to you (back to you)
Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me back to you (back to you)
"Back to Me" by Jack Savoretti is about the feeling of being lost in life and feeling like you're sinking, but being pulled back to someone who offers comfort and security. The "crazy waters" the singer is living in represent the unpredictability and instability of life, causing him to feel alone and far from home. However, he realizes that there is a lighthouse calling him, representing the person or place that gives him a sense of direction and hope.
The lyrics mention dancing with a ghost and feeling lost in the darkness where the sun doesn't shine, which could be interpreted as the singer feeling lost and disconnected from himself. However, the lighthouse calling him represents a beacon of light and hope for him. The shifting tides that are out of his control could be referring to the challenges and obstacles in life that he can't always control, but he knows that he can always come back to the person that gives him strength.
The chorus ultimately reveals that the lighthouse is calling him back to someone who he loves and who offers him a sense of belonging and purpose. The repeated phrase "Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me back to you" emphasizes the strong pull of this person or place on the singer, and the ultimate message is one of hope and perseverance.

These crazy waters, I'm living in
The turbulent and unpredictable circumstances I find myself in
Got me feeling like I'm sinking like a stone
I feel overwhelmed and helpless
Far from the shore, far from everyone
I am isolated and alone
Feels like I'm sailing this ship on my own
I am responsible for my own fate
In the middle of the night I'm dancing with my ghost
I am haunted by my past
Where the sun don't shine and we never know where to go
There is no clear direction or hope
But now I know, there's a lighthouse calling me
I have found a beacon of hope
From the edge of every cliff dived to the bottom of the sea
The lighthouse is a guiding force in the midst of danger
Oh, there's a lighthouse calling me
I am being drawn towards safety and security

Easier to drift, easier to sink
It is easier to give up and succumb to adversity
But I keep on coming back, back to you
My love and determination sustain me
Shine, shine your light on me
I seek your guidance and protection
Even in the rain, you shine on
Your love is unwavering in any circumstance
Whatever the weather, baby I'm still looking for you
I will always seek shelter in your love
Oh, there's a lighthouse calling me
The beacon of hope continues to guide me
Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me back to you (back to you)

This dude is seriously awesome. Saw him live 10 months ago in Birmingham & one of the best gigs I've ever been to. He's even better live than recorded which is so rare now.
