I Always Turn Back ( For You )

Written: April 5th, 2024 ( in 30 mins... yet I can't even complete the love songs I'm writing ☠ )

Genre: I cannot explain it tbh, but like soft-rock with a hint of pop ( but not too poppy ). Like, I have this melody in my head, it's what started the song cause I was randomly singing to myself 'No, I could never turn back to this love' when blending some juice for my mom and it became a whole thing.

This is sort of based a past experience that I imagined I would've written during the Jan/Feb/Early March timeframe of 2024 for me. However, I actually took a lot of inspiration from WEFIL. If you know, then you know. I'm not gonna spoil it if you haven't read it yet. Probably half of this was written from the perspective of going from a Heather to a Stephen. Very 'Eyes Closed' ( by Halsey ) coded.

I wrote this about really trying so hard to move on from someone who you thought was 'the one' and you spent a long time believing that they were the one. It wasn't working out though so you had to depart, and you're trying to grow accustomed to- I've literally never even been through the 'finding someone new' part so I don't even know what I'm saying lmao. It's all in the lyrics, so voila! 


1ST VERSE:

To great acclaim, they say that love is the happiest place

And I guess that's true, that's how it felt with you

Cause you were home, always made me feel like I'd never be alone

Oh, but now where do I go?

When I've told myself that we've reached our dead end

And I've messed things up too much to ever patch up amends

So what's left is to further extend to what hasn't happened yet


CHORUS:

No, I could never turn back to this love

I have to adapt to this new habitat

Oh, but what if I don't want that?

At least not yet

No, I won't ever turn back

When is the lesson learned?

No, I could never turn back

Yet I always do and head right towards you


2ND VERSE:

No, I could never turn back

When I already bought a one-way ticket

Where the tracks aren't as rigid

Yet I would switch lanes

If you also hypothetically came

But I know that won't change

And I'll never make it through the freeway


PRE-CHORUS:

Travelling through a new route

I'll try and grow accustomed to this new view

But how can I when they're not you?


CHORUS:

No, I could never turn back to this love

I have to adapt to this new habitat

Oh, but what if I don't want that?

At least not yet

No, I won't ever turn back

When is the lesson learned?

No, I could never turn back

Yet I always do and head right towards you


BRIDGE:

No, I'll never turn back

No, I'll never turn back

It's crazy how I lie to myself just like that

And it's merely just delusion

When what the truth is

My heart beats for you and only you

I could say I moved on

But I didn't get so far along


Cause I always turn back

Yeah, I always turn back

I can never react right to that simple life

If it's you and the craziness that lies behind

That's always on the back of my mind


CHORUS:

No, I could never turn back to this love

I have to adapt to this new habitat

Oh, but what if I don't want that?

At least not yet

No, I won't ever turn back

When is the lesson learned?

No, I could never turn back

Yet I always do and head right towards you ( again )
