Right Back Lyrics

Sleepin' by yourself at night can make you feel alone
Your girlfriend said so
But I don't really know
That don't mean we fucked around
That night last week when you left town

Tweakin' by myself one night that's when I wrote this tune
Didn't have no need for that bed in my hotel room
Sometimes right now, since I've left the pen
Feels like I'm right back there again

Sometimes I pray
Waiting, waiting for some bright holiday (holiday)
So I bought myself a gun
And I'm right back, right back where I'm from

Sleepin' by yourself at night can make you feel alone
My girfriend said so, she's a little ho
That don't mean I fuck around
I like to keep that higher ground

Sometimes I pray
Waiting, waiting for some bright holiday (holiday)
So I bought myself a gun
And I'm right back, right back where I'm from

(Don't tease me, ohhh)
Sometimes I pray
Waiting, waiting for some bright holiday (holiday)
So I bought myself a gun
Now I'm right back, right back where I'm from

fatrick your stupid. I agree not all their material is on addiction, but this song is obviously about addiction. You just took a very small part of the song and formed a gay generalized opinion from there" felt like he was in the pen cuz he couldn't fuck" dont be dumb that shit don't feel like the pen. the pen feels like waking up with your chest jumping out of your skin in a cold sweat with diahrrea and needing a blast to make you feel normal! Then you pray for a bright holiday like a break or vacation from this nightmare. But, then he buys a hit "gun" metaphorical for its power and he's next morning he's right back, right back where he's from!!!!! (your officially schooled) ho

To me it sounds like hes feeling alone. Sounds like lyrics that root from suicidal thoughts and relation ship problems. Very strong, breif, dark, beautiful lyircs :) RIP

i think he is trying to chase the ultimate high but can never get there- it's why people become addicts. Wicked song!

Sigh...he is saying that his girls cheating ways, and his attempt to keep the higher ground and give in and sleep with the girl that is available is making him feel like he is RIGHT BACK in Jail.

so that line "you know right now since I left the pen, Feels like I right back there again."

Cover art for Right Back lyrics by Sublime

"Actually feeling like he is right back in the pen refers to feeling just as imprisoned by his addiction as by jail "

Why on every single Sublime song on this page is there some little know it all who insist that ever single Sublime song was about Addiction...It wasn't.

@Fatrick its really annoying i know not all of their songs are about heroin and drug use and addiction some people just cant get that and it agitated me a lot.

Hahaha. Blunted, that was hilarious nice job. I love this song. I love how he captures the loneliness of tweaking. Bradlys a masterrr.
