Back to Back
The Wolf Gang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the whole world is sleeping
I still lie up in my bed
As I came round to thinking
That I don't want nobody else
I want to be with you
It kills me to say
That I want to be with you
That is just the way, it's just the way now

Sleeping with my back to yours
Back to back, back to back were strung out
Sleeping with my back to yours
Don't walk away don't walk away

When the whole world is thinking
That I must be depressed
The point that they're missing
Is that I don't want nobody else
I want to be with you
It kills me to say
That I want to be with you
That is just the way, it's just the way now

Sleeping with my back to yours
Back to back, back to back were strung out
Sleeping with my back to yours
Don't walk away, don't walk away

Back to back, back to back
Back to back, and back to back
Back to back, back to back

Sleeping with my back to yours
Back to back and back to back were strung out




Sleeping with my back to yours
Don't walk away, don't walk away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Back to Back" by The Wolf Gang is a love song that speaks about not wanting anyone else but the person they are with. The first two verses explain how the persona still spends time thinking about their partner when the whole world is sleeping or thinking that they are depressed. They then confess that they want to be with their partner, as it's the only way they can find fulfillment in love. The chorus, however, emphasizes the unique nature of their relationship, where the persona confesses that they are strung out sleeping back to back with their partner. The last verse repeats the first verse, and the song ends with the call for their partner not to walk away.


The lyrics of this song convey a message of love, loyalty, and commitment. It shows that the persona has made a decision about who they want to be with, and they are willing to make sacrifices to stay with their partner. The phrase "sleeping back to back," used repeatedly in the chorus, shows how the persona and their partner have developed an inseparable bond. It suggests that although they might not be facing each other when they sleep, they are still very much connected.

They were great! Probably one of the best opening acts ever. When they started playing, I was like, "Yep. I shall find their album, download it, and forever love this band."

Looked all over the internet for this today! Heard it last night on the radio and wasn't sure of the title. Found it! Great vocals and instrumentals! Funky yet wistful.
