The lead single from 5SOS' third album tells the story of a love that never truly ends. It sees someone remembering his lover and admitting that, regardless of their separation, his feelings towards them remain the same.

Want You Back Lyrics
[Verse 1: Luke]
Can't help but wonderin' if this
Is the last time that I'll see your face
Is it tears or just the fucking rain?
Wish I could say something
Something that doesn't sound insane
But lately, I don't trust my brain
You tell me I won't ever change
So I just say nothing
[Chorus: Luke, All]
And no matter where I go
I'm always gonna want you back
No matter how long you're gone
I'm always gonna want you back
I know you know I will never get over you
No matter where I go
I'm always gonna want you back
Want you back
[Verse 2: Luke, Luke & Calum]
I remember the freckles on your back
And the way that I used to make you laugh
'Cause you know every mornin' I wake up
Yeah, I still reach for ya
I remember the roses on your shirt
When you told me this would never work
You know, even when I say I moved on
Yeah, I still dream for you
[Chorus: Luke, All]
And no matter where I go
I'm always gonna want you back
No matter how long you're gone
I'm always gonna want you back
I know you know I will never get over you
No matter where I go
I'm always gonna want you back
Want you back
[Post-Chorus: All]
(I'm always gonna want you back)
(Want you back)
(I'm always gonna want you back)
(Want you back)
[Bridge: Luke, Calum]
You know, even when I say I moved on
You know, even though I know that you're gone
All I think about is where I went wrong
(Ah-ah) You know, even when I say I moved on
(Ah-ah) You know, even though I know that you're gone
(Ah-ah) All I think about is where I went wrong
Yeah, I still dream for ya
[Breakdown: Luke]
No matter where I go
I'm always gonna want you back
[Chorus: All, Luke]
And no matter where I go
I'm always gonna want you back (I'm always gonna want you back)
No matter how long you're gone
I'm always gonna want you back
I know you know I will never get over you
No matter where I go
I'm always gonna want you back
Want you back
[Outro: All, Calum]
I'm always gonna want you back, want you back
I'm always gonna want you back, want you back
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
I'm always gonna want you back, want you back
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
I'm always gonna want you back, want you back
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
