Back To You

"BACK TO YOU"

MELODIC TRAP R&B · BPM 94 · MINOR KEY · LATE-NIGHT VIBE

Intro – filtered vocals, distant ad-libs

Yeah, yeah

Oh, no

You know what it is

I tried, I tried

I swear I tried

Verse 1

I heard you been asking 'bout me

Like you don't know where I stay

You only come around when it's lonely

Then disappear when I wanna stay

I know you got somebody beside you

But he don't know you like I do

You tell him that everything's perfect

Then call me when you're going through

And I know I shouldn't answer

But your name still does something to me

I could have a room full of women

Still feel like there's nobody here but you

Pre-Chorus – layered harmonies

And I don't wanna go back

But I don't wanna move on

You say that you need space

Then ask me where I've been all night long

Girl, you know what you're doing

You know I can't refuse it

Every time I get away

You give me one more reason to lose it

Chorus – wide vocals, melodic runs

Why we keep going back and forth?

When we both know what this is

You say you don't feel the same no more

But you still remember how we kissed

I tried to find it in somebody else

But it don't hit the same

You got a way of making me forget

All the reasons that I walked away

Oh, I keep coming back to you

Back to you

I keep coming back to you

Verse 2 – more rhythmic, confident delivery

You got a new apartment downtown

Still got my hoodie in your closet

You say you threw away the pictures

But I know you couldn't stop it

I know your friends don't really like me

They only hear the things you say

You leave out all the nights you started

Calling me when he walked away

And that's the part that gets me

You only want me when I'm leaving

I gave you everything I had

You made it feel like I was dreaming

Now I'm outside, two in the morning

Your building lights are on

You said you needed someone honest

But you never wanted one

Bridge – stripped beat, emotional vocals

Maybe we were better as a memory

Maybe all this love was never meant to be

But if I said I didn't miss you, I'd be lying

And if you said you didn't miss me, I'd know you're lying

Final Chorus – stacked harmonies, ad-libs

Why we keep going back and forth?

When we both know what this is

You say you don't feel the same no more

But you still remember how we kissed

I tried to find it in somebody else

But it don't hit the same

You got a way of making me forget

All the reasons that I walked away

I keep coming back to you

(Back to you, yeah)

I keep coming back to you

Even when I know I shouldn't

I keep coming back to you

Outro – vocals fading into sampled vocal chop

Back to you

Every time, every time

I know better

But I don't do better

Yeah...
