There and Back Again Lyrics
Take, take your time.
Smell the roses, but steal the vines.
Don't wait for the hands of time
To second guess and change your mind.
And shine.
Here's your moment to shine.
Shine.
Lay down, my friend.
Close your eyes, breathe in,
And I'll take you there and back again.
No more questions why.
I'm not so surprised
Why you have
Been there and back again.
Replace, replace that line
That spoke to you
And showed no signs to be alive.
So are you livin' or dead?
You have made a choice to hear your voice
Or hold on to what they said.
Now, shine.
Here's your moment to shine.
Shine.
Lay down, my friend.
Close your eyes, breathe in,
And I'll take you there and back again.
No more questions why.
I'm not so surprised
Why you have
Been there and back again.
Back again, back again.
Back again, back again.
Lay down, my friend.
Close your eyes, breathe in,
And I'll take you there and back again.
No more questions why.
I'm not so surprised
Why you have
Been there and back again.
Lay down, my friend.
Close your eyes, breathe in,
And I will take you there and back again.
No more questions why.
I'm not so surprised
Why you have
Been there and back again.
Smell the roses, but steal the vines.
Don't wait for the hands of time
To second guess and change your mind.
And shine.
Here's your moment to shine.
Shine.
Close your eyes, breathe in,
And I'll take you there and back again.
No more questions why.
I'm not so surprised
Why you have
Been there and back again.
That spoke to you
And showed no signs to be alive.
So are you livin' or dead?
You have made a choice to hear your voice
Or hold on to what they said.
Now, shine.
Here's your moment to shine.
Shine.
Close your eyes, breathe in,
And I'll take you there and back again.
No more questions why.
I'm not so surprised
Why you have
Been there and back again.
Back again, back again.
Close your eyes, breathe in,
And I'll take you there and back again.
No more questions why.
I'm not so surprised
Why you have
Been there and back again.
Close your eyes, breathe in,
And I will take you there and back again.
No more questions why.
I'm not so surprised

Co-written by Chris Daughtry and Brent Smith, the lead singer from Shinedown.
Maybe my head is in the gutter, but it sounds like this song is about taking the next step with someone who was a friend and transitioning into something more. I'm not sure if it's a one night stand kind of deal or not. It's ambiguous.
this song is badass. i love their upbeat songs like this.. with the killer guitar..even though their slow songs are amazing too. idk what it means.. i just love blaring it!
I agree with mcphee on this one. It sounds to me like he wants to lay down with his girl and take her there and back again.
I don't think this song is as good as the slower songs but it's still good.
Was it really co-written by Brent Smith? I thought it sounded kinda like a Shinedown style song...I remembered Chris Daughtry singing "I Dare You" on American Idol.
No idea what it means, but it's AWESOME. I espicially like the drums in the very beginning. Dunno why, just sounds real good to me.
honestly i have no clue what this song is about but i love the acoustics
This song is about, in my opinion and guess, about telling someone to stop second guessing at trying a chance at something big and important, also not to worry so much about it
