Back to Me Without You
Finding Home Amidst Broken Echoes
Lyrics
I wanna wake where I was born and breathe the old air in
I want to return to my place of birth and experience the familiar atmosphere
I need a haunt from a ghost that I knew way back then
I seek solace from a ghost from my past
Oh I hope they left the light on
Hoping that a welcoming light is still on for me
I want someone who knows me just to say my name
Desiring someone who truly knows me to call my name
To tell me though things are different now somehow I'm still the same
Despite changes, I am still the same, and I need affirmation of that
Oh I can almost hear them calling
Sensing a distant call, almost like a beckoning
I don't know if I'll be back again
Uncertain about returning, acknowledging previous warnings
It turns out they were right again
Realizing that others were right in their advice
(Get back to what you know)(Get back to what you do)
Advice to return to familiarity and what is known
I gotta get back to me, ooh
Expressing the need to rediscover oneself
If it's true home is where the heart is
If home is where the heart is, feeling displaced and without a home
I guess now I'm homeless
(Get back to what you know)(Get back to what you do)
Reiterating the call to return to what is familiar
I gotta get back to me without you
Emphasizing the necessity to find oneself without the presence of another
For two years I've lived my life way out on a limb
Reflecting on two years of taking risks and putting faith in someone
I put my faith in you not knowing you would break in the end
Regretting the realization that the person trusted has broken trust
Oh I hate feeling fallen
Expressing the pain of feeling defeated
I don't know if I'll be back again
Uncertain about returning, acknowledging previous warnings again
It turns out they were right again
Realizing that others were right in their advice once more
(Get back to what you know) (Get back to what you do)
Reiterating the advice to return to what is known
Gotta get back to me, ooh
Stressing the urgency to rediscover oneself
If it's true home is where the heart is
If home is where the heart is, feeling displaced and without a home again
I guess now I'm homeless
(Get back to what you know)(Get back to what you do)
Reiterating the call to return to what is familiar
Gotta get back to me without you
Emphasizing the necessity to find oneself without the presence of another again
I added rain to your ocean
Adding insignificant elements to something significant (possibly a relationship)
What did it do, it meant nothing to you
Realizing that the addition meant nothing to the other person
You made grief my chief emotion
Making grief the predominant emotion due to the other's actions
Why'd you have to do what you thought you had to do
Questioning the necessity of the actions taken by the other person
Get back to what know
Reiteration of the advice to return to what is known
I don't know if I'll be back again
Uncertain about returning, acknowledging previous warnings once again
Turns out they were right again
Realizing that others were right in their advice repeatedly
(Get back to what you know)(Get back to what you do)
Reiterating the advice to return to what is known
Gotta get back to me, ooh
Stressing the urgency to rediscover oneself
If it's true home is where the heart is
If home is where the heart is, feeling displaced and without a home repeatedly
Oh I guess now I'm homeless
(Get back to what you know)(Get back to what you do)
Reiterating the call to return to what is familiar repeatedly
Gotta get back to me without you
Emphasizing the necessity to find oneself without the presence of another repeatedly
The slow death of a slow dance
Describing the gradual end of a slow-paced dance, possibly a metaphor for a relationship
The tailspin of a romance
Depicting the spiraling downfall of a romance
Gotta get back and breathe the old air in
Expressing the need to return to
