“Love You Back” is all about picking yourself back up, and choosing to be happy instead of wallowing in misery. The theme of the song is very similar to their other song “Now or Never Now,” and can kind of be considered lyrically as it’s more blunt, rock-sounding twin.
Love You Back Lyrics
[Intro]

La la la
La la la la la la

[Verse 1]
I’m gonna dry all my tears today
Got no patience for old pain
Tell my friends to shake the sad parade
I’m gonna lift up and fly away
It’s been far too long
I'd wait in vain for better days, than pouring rain
I’m gonna stand up and drop these chains
I’ve been held in place with wire and lace
And waltzed around the drain
[Pre-Chorus 1]
When you’ve got no time
You’re gonna want it back
You’re gonna act so bad
You’re gonna act so badly
[Chorus]
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
You’re everyone I never had
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
You’re everyone I never had
[Verse 2]
I’m gonna cut out and waste the day
Dump some diamonds in the lake
Truly appreciate my luck can change
I’m gonna strip off your whitewash stain
It’s a thin disguise that barely hides
Your painted face that falls away
I’m gonna dry all my tears today
I’ve been held in place with wire and lace
And waltzed around the drain
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When you’ve got no time
You’re gonna want it back
You’re gonna want it badly
When you feel this light
When you feel this happy
You’re gonna act so bad
You’re gonna act so badly
[Chorus]
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
You’re everyone I never had
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
You’re everyone I never had
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
You’re everyone I never had
