Don't you go back to where you come from

Expressing a plea or desire for someone not to return to their place of origin.

Cause I miss the way you say

The repetition of the phrase "Cause I miss the way you say" suggests a deep longing for the way the person addressed used to speak. This may indicate a strong emotional connection and a desire for their presence.

Don't you go back to where you come from

-

Cause I miss the way you say

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

-

Cause I miss the way you say

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

-

Cause I miss the way you say

-

I heard you were barely

The singer reflects on a past relationship, mentioning struggles, dreaming, deception, and the impact of the person's departure on their emotions and memories.

Holding back your screaming

-

Call me while I'm sleeping

-

Who cares, I'm barely dreaming

-

My brain is always weaving through the lies you left deceiving

-

If you hold my hand I'll take you back to what you're really leaving

-

You drove

-

While I took some photos laughing

-

Cause the cameras exposed something

-

About the way you wore my old clothes

-

On the day you left me nothing

-

Now I'm thinking about the skateboards

-

That we surfed on down the suburbs

-

And we put our drinks in cupboards

-

And my eyes were full with color

-

Now I'm far from what you're wanting

-

But I know that must be something

-

Cause you never mind the crushing

-

Now I'm holding onto nothing

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

Cause I miss the way you say

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

-

Cause I miss the way you say

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

-

Cause I miss the way you say

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

-

Cause I miss the way you say

-

I miss the heartbreaks and suffering

Expressing a nostalgic sentiment about the heartbreaks, suffering, and puzzling aspects of the past relationship. The mention of tourettes and stuttering adds a personal struggle, while the lines highlight the difficulty in defining the true meaning behind words and actions.

It left me feeling fluttery

-

And made it super puzzling

-

To why I'm still recovering

-

The days that I've been numbering

-

Since I was in class sputtering

-

They told me that tourettes is the reason that I've been stuttering

-

I can say a funny line and make it numbers online

-

I can say a funny rhyme, you'll look it up to define

-

But if I'm really saying something girl

-

It's hard to define

-

If all this fighting over nothings

-

Heading me to resign

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

Reiteration of the longing for the person's way of speaking, emphasizing the emotional impact and the desire for their return.

Cause I miss the way you say

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

-

Cause I miss the way you say

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

-

Cause I miss the way you say

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

-

Cause I miss the way you say

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

-

Cause I miss the way you say

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

-

Cause I miss the way you say

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

-

Cause I miss the way you say

-

Don't you go back to where you come from

-

Cause I miss the way you say

-

Even though I'm barely holding on

The singer expresses a sense of longing, being locked up, and a desire for various experiences, including going to comic con, kissing at dawn, and falling in love again. There's a mix of emotions, including missing the person, feeling drawn, and experiencing pain, but also having stories to tell.

I feel locked up, I feel drawn on

-

I wanna call you but you're gone

-

I wanna go to comic con

-

I wanna kiss your cheek at dawn

-

I wanna fall in love again

-

I feel that every now and then

-

I wanna feel just like I'm ten

-

Even though my heart still swells

-

It's beating out of my shell

-

I'm calling out who you tell

-

I'm missing you when you yell

-

Cause it's not you when you yell

-

Cause it's not you when you yell

-

Even though it hurts like hell

-

I've got these stories to tell

-

Hey
