Right Back in the Water Lyrics

Cover art for Right Back in the Water lyrics by Jesse McCartney

I love this song. Its beautiful. The piano chords are amazing. Jesse's voice is wonderful. And the cello compliments both of these elements.

Being an avid Jesse Arthur McCartney fan, naturally I have memorized every lyric and spent my free time analyzing these lyrics on my own.

So far I have come up with this for Right Back In The Water;

He loves this girl. And she dosent feel like they should be together. But he wants to do whats best for her, despite his own feelings of loving her. He is addicted to it. Or moreso he describes it as 'contageous' and has the thought embeddedd into his mind that they were 'meant to be' and he 'cant leave her', so all in all, they are 'Right Back In The Water'; or back to the starting point. Back to the begginng of this never ending circle.

Then the bridge, that states 'I wanna walk but there is something that won't let me' ; this is typically an inference that he is screaming inside to tell this girl that she cant leave him, they were meant to be, and he cannot stop himself from loving her. He couldnet let go even if he wanted to. But because of the fact that he loves her so much and only wants whats best for her, he keeps his mouth shut and his tears inside. And this is the 'something' that wont let him walk.

This track is one of the most beautiful songs off Jesse's sophmore album; Right Where You Want Me. Released Spetember nineteenth, 2006.
