Back With You
Longing for Home: McKayla Marie's Heartfelt Journey in 'Back With You'
Lyrics
Friday was our date night
Friday was our designated date night.
We'd always share a plate
The couple used to share a meal together on their date nights.
Then we'd watch the sun sink sitting on the tailgate
They enjoyed watching the sunset while sitting on the tailgate of a vehicle.
We'd ride to work together
They commuted to work together as they were employed at the same place.
'Cause we worked in the same place
The routine included discussing their days after work.
And when our shift was over we'd talk about our days
Despite their dreams, the narrator left for Nashville on a Wednesday.
But some dreams don't just fade away
Not all dreams fade, hinting at the difficulty of leaving behind certain aspirations.
So I left for Nashville on a Wednesday
The narrator moved to Nashville to pursue their dreams.
I want, I want to be back with you
Expressing a desire to return to the person left behind.
Waking up for Sunday church, sippin' coffee in the same pew
Missing shared moments like attending Sunday church together and having coffee in the same pew.
And Mondays just don't feel the same
Mondays feel different without the partner.
Or goin' out for soft serve on a Tuesday
Reflecting on the absence of enjoying soft serve ice cream together on Tuesdays.
Every night I'm missing something new
Every night, the narrator feels the absence of something new.
Now I'm counting down the days til I'm back with you
Counting down the days until the narrator can reunite with the person.
Now doing homework on a Thursday
Doing homework on Thursdays is now without the partner's presence.
Without you in the room
Studying alone feels like a chore, just another thing to do.
Just feels like homework, one more thing to do
Expressing the emotional weight of being without the partner.
Yeah, I'm going out with new friends
The narrator is trying to move on by making new friends and pursuing hobbies.
And writing songs on this guitar
Despite the new experiences, memories of the partner persist in familiar places.
But I still see your face in every shop and every bar
The partner still holds a special place in the narrator's heart.
'Cause you still have my heart
Reiteration of the desire to be back with the partner.
I want, I want to be back with you
Repeating the longing for shared Sunday church and coffee moments.
Waking up for Sunday church, sippin' coffee in the same pew
Emphasizing the impact of the partner's absence on Mondays.
And Mondays just don't feel the same
The routine of enjoying soft serve on Tuesdays is missed.
Or goin out for soft serve on a Tuesday
Narrator continues to experience a sense of loss every night.
Every night I'm missing something new
Still counting down the days until the anticipated reunion.
Now I'm counting down the days til I'm back with you
Repeating the theme of yearning for the return to the partner.
Til I'm back with you
Reiterating the anticipation of being back with the partner.
Now you're flying in to see me
Anticipating the partner's visit on the upcoming Saturday night.
Next Saturday night
The narrator is excited to show the partner their new town.
And I can't wait to see you and show you this new town of mine
Expressing the desire to be back with the partner.
I want, I want to be back with you
Yearning for the shared moments during Sunday church and coffee.
Waking up for Sunday church, sippin' coffee in the same pew
Mondays continue to feel incomplete without the partner.
And Mondays just don't feel the same
The absence of shared soft serve on Tuesdays is still felt.
Or goin out for soft serve on a Tuesday
The narrator experiences a nightly sense of missing something new.
Every night I'm missing something new
Counting down the days until the narrator can be back with the partner.
Now I'm counting down the days til I'm back with you
Continued anticipation of the eventual reunion with the partner.
Til I'm back with you
Reiterating the longing to be back with the partner.
