Lyrics
[Intro]
Back to you, back to you, back to you
Back to you, back to you, back to you
I go back to you, back to you, back to you every time
[Verse 1]
I get tired of your no-shows
You get tired of my control
They keep tellin' me to let go
But I don't really let go when I say so
I keep givin' people blank stares
I'm so different when you're not there
It's like somethin' outta Shakespeare
Because I'm really not here, when you're not there
[PreChorus]
I've tried to fight our energy
But every time I think I'm free
[Chorus]
You get high and call on the regular
I get weak and fall like a teenager
Why, oh, why, does God keep bringin' me back to you?
I get drunk, pretend that I'm over it
Self-destruct, show up like an idiot
Why, oh, why, does God keep bringin' me back to you?
[Chorus]
I go back to you, back to you, back to you
Back to you, back to you, back to you
I go back to you, back to you, back to you every time
[Verse 2]
When I get on a new wave
Boy, you look at me and I slip outta my lace
They keep callin' me a head-case
'Cause I can't make a good case why we can't change
[PreChorus]
I've tried to fight our energy
But every time I think I'm free
[Chorus]
You get high and call on the regular
I get weak and fall like a teenager
Why, oh, why, does God keep bringin' me back to you? (Back to you, baby)
I get drunk, pretend that I'm over it
Self-destruct, show up like an idiot
Why, oh, why, does God keep bringin' me back to you?
[Chorus]
I go back to you, back to you, back to you (I go back to you)
Back to you, back to you, back to you (Back to you)
I go back to you, back to you, back to you every time
[Outro]
I go back to you, back to you, back to you
Back to you, back to you, back to you
I go back to you, back to you, back to you every time
