Go Back
Rekindling Lost Love: Jpaulished's 'Go Back' Reflection
Lyrics
Why can’t we go back and start all over again?
Expressing a desire to go back to the beginning and start over.
Why can’t we go back and love each other again?
Asking why it's not possible to return to a past state of love.
I feel like we fell too fast for it to work out
Feeling that the relationship progressed too quickly to succeed.
I’m realizing that, I hope the bridge ain’t burnt down
Realizing the potential damage and hoping the relationship isn't irreparable.
I know you think it’s my fault
Acknowledging the partner's perception that the issues are the speaker's fault.
But then again, every break up it's the guys fault
Recognizing a common tendency to blame the guy in breakups.
Well, It’s probably true
Admitting the possibility that the blame is justified.
Keep dreaming 'bout the perfect girl, it’s probably you
Dreaming of an idealized perfect girl, possibly the ex-partner.
To think I used to have you
Reflecting on the past when the speaker had the partner.
I’m alone, you alone, I think you sad too
Both the speaker and the partner are alone, hinting at mutual sadness.
The relationship itself, it was too fragile
Describing the fragility of the relationship that couldn't withstand conflicts.
To keep up with the battles, back and forth, taboo
Highlighting the challenges and taboos that strained the relationship.
I don’t really wanna talk about it
Expressing reluctance to discuss the breakup.
It’s killing me inside, just put the chalk around it
Feeling emotional pain and using a metaphor of drawing a chalk outline around it.
I was tryna swim, until you grabbed my heart and drowned it
Describing the partner's impact on the speaker's emotional state.
It’s crazy cause I lost it and I haven’t found it
Expressing the aftermath of losing the emotional connection and not recovering.
Damn, I just hope you doin' good
Hoping the ex-partner is doing well despite the breakup.
I been thinkin' 'bout you lately, and the way we used to talk
Reflecting on past conversations and missing the connection.
At the end of everyday, and now i’m praying to the lord
Praying for reconciliation with the partner.
Hoping that’ll get you back and I ain’t never prayed before, damn
Expressing a desperate desire for the partner's return.
I’m going back to the root of it
Returning to the roots of the relationship to fix the issues.
To when we started breaking, fix it up and put some glue in it
Using imagery of breaking and fixing with glue to mend the relationship.
Stop all of the cracking, hit you back, I think i’m losing it
Expressing the urgency to stop the relationship from deteriorating further.
Hope you feel the passion, hit me back, and say you cool with it
Hoping the partner feels the same passion and is open to reconciliation.
Why can’t we go back and start all over again?
Repeating the desire to go back and start over.
Why can’t we go back and love each other again?
Reiterating the longing to return to a state of love with the partner.
I feel like we fell too fast for it to work out
Reiterating the feeling that the relationship progressed too quickly.
I’m realizing that, I hope the bridge ain’t burnt down
Reiterating the realization of potential damage to the relationship.
So you hit me back and say we cool
Partner responding positively, but with uncertainty due to past actions.
But look at all the crazy things you made me do
Reflecting on the negative consequences of the partner's influence.
Saying "yea I hear you", but I just need some time
Acknowledging the partner's need for time to process the situation.
I mean i’ll hit you back, when I make up my mind
Committing to responding once the speaker has made a decision.
Cause the little things we shared are really hard to find
Emphasizing the importance of shared memories that are now difficult to find.
Say you caught up in the city, often card's declined
Noting the partner's struggles, possibly financial, in the city.
Your sanity is looking ify, and you always lyin'
Observing the partner's declining mental state and habitual lying.
Lookin' pretty on your Instagram, inside you cryin'
Contrasting the attractive facade on social media with internal emotional struggles.
Yea, I know that it’s facts
Acknowledging the reality of the situation.
I know you need a decent man at home to relax
Understanding the partner's need for a stable and decent man.
I know you need a man to fill the bowl up with snacks
Recognizing the partner's desire for comfort and care.
And I’ll go to war for you, girl I’ll pick up the slack, yea
Expressing a willingness to go to great lengths for the partner.
Why can’t we go back?
Pleading again to go back to a previous state.
