Back To You
Sitti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It always comes around
Back to you
I tried to forget you
I tried to stay away
But it's too late
Over you
There's something about you
It's just the way you move
The way you move me
Yeah
I'm so good at foregetting
And I quit every game I play
But forgive me love
I can't turn to walk away
This way
Back to you
It always comes around back to you
I walk with your shadow
I'm sleeping in my bed'
With your silhouette
Yeah
Should've smiled in that picture
If it's the last thing I see of you
It's the least that you could not do
Leave the light on
I'llnever give up on you
Leave the light on
For me too
For me too
For me too
Back to me
I know that it comes back to me
Doesn't it scare you
Your will is not that strong
As it used to be
Sitti's song "Back To You" talks about an intense love that keeps circling back to the same person, no matter how hard one tries to forget and move on. The lyrics begin with the phrase “Back to you, it always comes around” which resonates the idea that no matter what, they keep coming back to this person. The singer describes how hard she tried to forget and stay away from this person, but it's too late to undo the memories of that person. In the next few lines, Sitti explains how she is never over this person and how it's something about the way this person moves that continues to move her towards them.
The next verse describes how she is good at forgetting things and quitting games, but she can’t do that when it comes to love. She is willing to forgive this person and can’t imagine walking away from them. In the bridge, Sitti reinforces how she can't give up and will never walk away. She requests that he/she leaves the light on for her and concludes with the statement "Back to me, I know that it comes back to me. Doesn't it scare you, your will is not that strong as it used to be?", indicating that the cycle of coming back to him/her will never end until one of them has the will to stop it.
