Learning by song: Back To You – Selena Gomez

Bài hát với giai điệu bắt tai và dễ nghe này mô tả cảm giác bạn muốn ở bên một người mà bạn đáng lẽ không nên yêu, một mối quan hệ cứ liên tục làm bạn tổn thương nhưng rồi cuối cùng cả hai vẫn quay lại với nhau. Và đề cập đến sự hối tiếc, đau khổ theo một cách độc đáo và lãng mạn.

 

Took you like a shot 

Thought that I could chase you with a cold evening

Let a couple years water down how I’m feeling about you

(Feeling about you)

And every time we talk

Every single word builds up to this moment

And I gotta convince myself I don’t want it

Even though I do (even though I do)

You could break my heart in two

But when it heals, it beats for you

I know it’s forward, but it’s true

I wanna hold you when I’m not supposed to

When I’m lying close to someone else

You’re stuck in my head and I can’t get you out of it

If I could do it all again

I know I’d go back to you

I know I’d go back to you

I know I’d go back to you

We never got it right

Playing and replaying old conversations

Overthinking every word and I hate it

‘Cause it’s not me (’Cause it’s not me)

And what’s the point in hiding?

Everybody knows we got unfinished business 

And I’ll regret it if I didn’t say

This isn’t what it could be (isn’t what it could be)

You could break my heart in two

But when it heals, it beats for you

I know it’s forward, but it’s true

I wanna hold you when I’m not supposed to

When I’m lying close to someone else

You’re stuck in my head and I can’t get you out of it

If I could do it all again

I know I’d go back to you

I know I’d go back to you

I know I’d go back to you

I’d go back to you

I’d go back to you

What was there wasn’t sure

But I’d go back to you

I know I’d go back to you

You can break my heart in two

But when it heals, it beats for you

I know it’s forward, but it’s true

Won’t lie, I’d go back to you

You know, my thoughts are running loose

It’s just a thing you make me do

And I could fight, but what’s the use?

I know I’d go back to you

I wanna hold you when I’m not supposed to

When I’m lying close to someone else

You’re stuck in my head and I can’t get you out of it

If I could do it all again

I know I’d go back to you

I’d go back to you

I’d go back to you

I know I’d go back to you

(Go back to you, go back to you)

(Go back to you, go back to you)

(Go back to you, go back to you)
