This song is about going back to where you came from, falling back into old habits, and seeing how everything’s the same as you left compared to how much you’ve changed since you’ve been gone.
[Verse 1]
I was at my mom and dad's
Never thought that I'd go back
They tore my posters off the wall
I took a hit to fog it all
[Chorus]
From the backseat of my car, racing down the street
Feels like I'm moving backwards
There's a bind on my feet, the things I'll never be
They won't let me fall asleep, I can't keep dreaming
[Verse 2]
I was at my mom and dad's
I thought of every girl I've had
And everything I was before
I never thought that I'd go home
[Chorus]
From the backseat of my car, racing down the street
Feels like I'm moving backwards
There's a bind on my feet, the things I'll never be
They won't let me fall asleep, I can't keep dreaming
[Bridge]
I don't know why I came back here
The girls are all turned up, the boys are all turned down
The fakers can't stop the dreamers
The dreamers can't stop the winners
The streets are all the same but they feel like the moon
This town is just heavier it all feels like the shit
I'm on, figure I just want to instead, get weed
Get fucked up and lazy and stoned
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
[Chorus]
From the backseat of my car, racing down the street
Feels like I'm moving backwards
There's a bind on my feet, the things I'll never be
They won't let me fall asleep, I can't keep dreaming
