Started by Marcuss Hall, David Curtis and Matt Jackson, they played shows in churches, basements, living rooms, coffee houses and eventually full concerts around southern Illinois. After signing to Tooth and Nail Records they exploded and toured with other bands similar to them.

After about a year or so Marcuss left side walk slam for personal reason. David replaced him on vocals and they recorded one more album with Neil Endicott stepping up in place of Davids old back ground. David Curtis also has participated in his own solo project which was slightly short lived.

Summer of 2006 showed a new side with a new name which is now Run Kid Run with all the same band members.

All this time
I was yours
You said you were mine

This I'll say to you
I won't come back now
Back to you

Mistakes were made
I can't forget
Do you know you're wrong?

This I'll say to you
I won't come back now
Back to you

And you were once everything
How things have changed
Now I see your ways

I won't come back now
Back to you (2x)

Overall Meaning

The song "Back to You" by Side Walk Slam is about a relationship that has ended due to mistakes that were made by both parties involved. The lyrics reveal that the singer was once with someone who they thought was meant for them, someone who they thought they would be with forever. However, the relationship went sour due to the mistakes made and the trust that was broken. The singer is now acknowledging that it's time to move on and that they will not be going back to the person they were once with, no matter how much they may have loved them or wanted them in the past.

The repetition of the phrase "This I'll say to you, I won't come back now, Back to you" reinforces the singer's decision to move on and not look back. The line "And you were once everything, How things have changed, Now I see your ways" reveals that the singer can now see clearly the flaws in the person they were once with, and that they no longer want to be a part of their life. The song is a poignant and powerful reflection on the complexities of relationships, how they can change and how difficult it can be to let go.

All this time
Throughout our relationship

I was yours
I believed I belonged to you

You said you were mine
You made claims that you belonged to me

This I'll say to you
My message to you is this

I won't come back now
I am not returning to you anytime soon

Back to you
I'm not going back to the relationship

Mistakes were made
We both made errors

I can't forget
It's difficult for me to overlook

Do you know you're wrong?
I think you realize your errors

And you were once everything
You used to be my everything

How things have changed
Our relationship has transformed significantly

Now I see your ways
I see you for who you really are

I won't come back now
I have no intention of returning to you

Back to you (2x)
I am not coming back to the relationship
