When relationships fracture and evolve over time, we often find ourselves seeking genuine connection and reciprocity. This introspective rock track explores themes of personal transformation and the complex dynamics of a strained relationship. The narrator reflects on their past identity and the gradual deterioration of a connection, questioning whether the other person shares similar feelings of loss and desire for authentic interaction. The repeated plea for "back and forth" suggests a yearning for meaningful dialogue and mutual understanding, while references to "backbone" hint at frustration with perceived passivity or inaction. The song captures the universal experience of watching a simple relationship become complicated over time, and the struggle to bridge the growing emotional distance between two people who have drifted apart. #PersonalGrowth #RelationshipDynamics
Back & Forth
Lyrics
Once upon a time I was somebody else
In another life I saw myself
Way back then, back when I was new
Somewhere down the line I started to slip
Years gone by, biting my lip
All the while, all this time I knew
Now you're on your own, one for the pages
Over the hill and through the ages
Does my heaven burn like hell on you?
Out beneath the cracks they're coming in waves
Rolling like an earthquake under the pavement
Where are they now, tell me Mr. True
You got a lot of nerve, nerve
Now show a little backbone why don't you?
I'm looking for some back and forth with you
Are you feeling the same as I do?
Now and now and then
I'm looking for some back and forth with you
Are you feeling the same as I do?
Down and out
Holding my breath, I waited and waited
How'd this simple life get so complicated?
Shoes to fill, secrets to spill down you
Deer in the headlight, spoke in the wheel
You all pretend, I need for real
Taking it back, all my IOUs
You got a lot of nerve, nerve
Now show a little backbone why don't you?
I'm looking for some back and forth with you
Are you feeling the same as I do?
Now and now and then
I'm looking for some back and forth with you
Are you feeling the same as I do?
Down and out
You got a lot of nerve, nerve, nerve, nerve
Now show a little backbone why don't you?
I'm looking for some back and forth with you
Are you feeling the same as I do?
Now and now and then
I'm looking for some back and forth with you
Are you feeling the same as I do?
Now and now and then
I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you
Are you feelin' the same as I do down and out
