Back to You
Wynter Gordon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't know that when I laying bed I touch myself to you,
All the greatly thoughts my mind designed to cut the loneliness
When I pushed away my one true chance to live in happiness
It always comes back to you
It always comes back to you
I'm a fabulous, ain't never loving, a tacit wanderer
I can walk all day and smile and say that this here is success
But it don't mean shit unless you're here and deny I'm a mess
They took you for granted, I spit in your face
And now let your shadow be in with love and throw it away
Now I miss your heartbeat, and I miss your face
And I miss your story following me, I'm caught in your space
Always comes back to you
Always comes back to you
Always comes back to you
Always comes back to you
In the first verse of Wynter Gordon's "Back To You," the artist admits to being vain and cold at times, acknowledging that pushing away a chance at true happiness was a mistake. She reveals that when she is alone in bed, she thinks of the person she pushed away and touches herself to thoughts of them. This shows that despite pushing away this person, they still hold a strong emotional impact on her.
In the chorus, Gordon emphasizes the idea that it "always comes back to you." This is likely a reference to the strong emotional connection she has with this person and the fact that thoughts of them frequently come back to her, despite her efforts to move on.
The second verse is more introspective, with Gordon admitting that she can come across as self-absorbed and a wanderer, never finding true love. She recognizes that she could smile and put on a facade of success, but ultimately, none of it matters without this person by her side. She regrets taking them for granted and spitting in their face, only realizing how much she misses them after they're gone.
Overall, "Back To You" is a poignant and emotional song about the lasting impact of love and the difficulty of moving on from a lost relationship.
