Backwards Lyrics

I don't wanna hit reverse
You've already got me in so deep
It's only gonna make it worse
We break up, make up, on repeat

Wait a minute
Am I losing my mind?
Tell me are you with it
'Cause you keep tryna rewind
Say you're coming over
Is that just another line
(Is that just another line)

Yeah we would talk all the way through the night
Pick you up and we drive
No I never thought we'd be stopping
You keep saying we're fine
But the look in your eyes
Oh, it just can't lie

I don't wanna hit reverse
You've already got me in so deep
It's only gonna make it worse
We break up, make up, on repeat

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're going backwards
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're going backwards
We're going backwards

I get the feeling
That we're living in the past
And I'm kinda stressin'
Are we slipping through the cracks?
When we find a present
Is it ever gonna last?

Yeah we would talk all the way through the night
Pick you up and we drive
No I never thought we'd be stopping
You keep saying we're fine
But the look in your eyes
Oh it just can't lie

I don't wanna hit reverse
You've already got me in so deep
It's only gonna make it worse
We break up, make up, on repeat

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're going backwards
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're going backwards

We break up, make up
We break up, make up

Talk all the way through the night
Pick you up and we drive
No I never thought we'd be stopping
You keep saying we're fine
But the look in your eyes
Oh it just can't lie

I don't wanna hit reverse
You've already got me in so deep
It's only gonna make it worse
We break up, make up, on repeat

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're going backwards
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're going backwards
We're going backwards
We're going backwards

What is the Meaning of Backwards?

This heartfelt track dives into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship. The artist finds himself trapped in a cycle of breaking up and making up with his partner, symbolized by the phrase "going backwards." Despite their constant efforts to move forward, they seem to be stuck in the past, unable to break free from old patterns. The song captures the artist's struggle between wanting to escape this endless loop and being so deeply involved that he fears the pain of leaving. The frequent use of the term "reverse" signifies his reluctance to revisit past mistakes, yet he feels powerless against this recurring cycle. This piece is a poignant portrayal of love entangled with fear and confusion.
