I am a guy. But every single song by Abel makes my ears melt and my spine shiver. Here's my interpretation.

[Verse 1:] Go back in time when I feel her She touching me, it's too familiar The way she doing the things She does exactly the way you used to (you used to)

He is with a new girl but clearly he has not forgotten about his ex. He's beginning to do what we all do and notice how our new partner is different/similar from our former ones. She's very similar to his ex, which is maybe the only reason why he picked her?

Let me take a break, I need a breather The way she moving, I can't believe now She does exactly the same, I must be going insane (Oh)

He's taken aback at how similar she really is to his ex. The way she moves/the sex. Maybe he's just imagining all of this because he wants her to be his ex.

[Chorus:] Am I going crazy? Do I need some therapy to get shorty out of my mind? Girl, my head is racing Heard shortys been needing the rest of my mind

He's conflicted because this new girl is so similar to his ex. "Heard shorty's been needing the rest of my mind:" A double meaning that his current girlfriend needs the "rest of his mind" in other words, all of his attention.

It could also mean that shorty (his ex) is taking the peace of his mind (rest of my mind) and it's ruining him.

Am I making love to you through her? Am I making love to you through her? Am I making love to you through her? Love through her (love through her)

He doesn't know if he is just using this new girl as a means of fulfilling his desire for his ex or if he just can't bring himself to love anyone new.

[Verse 2:] Thought I left that part of life behind me It's back to haunt every girl that loves me

The memories of him and his ex continue to haunt him and his future relationships.

Why can't she leave me alone Can't believe every girl that I hold I see you, I see you

She's like a ghost that won't relent. She is in every single girl he sees.

The greatest times we had the best of Push back rewind, but I can't delete her Move forward into my life, I had a place and a time to apologize (to apologize)

The greatest times of his life were spent with her and these memories cannot be forgotten.

He states how she has moved forward into his life (from his past) and that he had the circumstances to apologize but we never know if he did it or not.

[Chorus x2:] Am I going crazy? Do I need some therapy to get shorty out of my mind? Girl, my head is racing Heard shortys been needing the rest of my mind

Am I making love to you through her? Am I make love to you through her? Am I making love to you through her? Love through her (love through her)
