Back To You
The Dean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Losing our prose within the fog
Moving back towards analog
Our bloodshot ways and blacked out craze
Thus fantasized by demagogues
Fades away within the light
As we are now returned our sight
We turn our eyes away from lies
And cast aside our parasites
Now
Teach me how to breathe And let me see
The world as you deem it should be
We'll laugh and scream, read poetry
Pour out our hearts, and get piercings
the light within shines through our skin
And In this room, comes crashing in
Without a care, we'll fill the air
With words we'd say if we weren't scared
We'll paint our faces and the walls
Until the panic starts to crawl




Away from us, in true disgust
Too frightened to return the call

Line by Line Meaning

I must say that I don't care
I tell people that I don't care about you.


Hold my head up in the air
I try to act confident in front of others.


Even tell my friends I'm glad that you don't call
I even lie to my friends about being happy that you don't contact me.


But when the day is through my heartaches start anew
At the end of the day, the pain of missing you starts all over again.


And that's when I miss you most of all
I miss you the most at the end of the day.


And my arms keep reaching for you
I still want to hold and be close to you.


My eyes keep searching for you
I keep looking for you everywhere I go.


My lips keep calling for you
I can't help but whisper your name.


And my shoes keep walking back to you
Even though I try to move on, I keep going back to where we used to be together.


No matter how much I pretend
Despite my efforts to act like I don't care, it's not true.


I wish I had you back again
I deeply yearn to have you in my life once more.


Oh nothing else means half as much as you
No one and nothing else can compare to how much you mean to me.


Our world just seemed to die the day you said goodbye
My world fell apart when you left.


And I can't forget no matter what I do
I can't get you out of my mind, no matter what I try.


And my arms keep reaching for you
I still long to be with you.


My eyes keep searching for you
I can't stop looking for you in the hopes of seeing you again.


Oh my lips keep calling for you
The sound of your name never leaves my lips.


And my shoes keep walking back to you
No matter where I go, I always find myself back where you used to be.
