Back To Friends Lyrics
Touch my body tender
‘Cause the feeling makes me weak
Kicking off the covers
I see the ceiling while you’re looking down at me
How can we go back to being friends
When we just shared a bed?
How can you look at me and pretend
I’m someone you’ve never met?
It was last December
You were layin’ on my chest
I still remember
I was scared to take a breath, didn’t want you to move your head
How can we go back to being friends
When we just shared a bed? (Yeah)
How can you look at me and pretend
I’m someone you’ve never met?
The devil in your eyes
Won’t deny the lies
You’ve sold, I’m holding on too tight
While you let go, this is casual
How can we go back to being friends
When we just shared a bed? (Yeah)
How can you look at me and pretend
I’m someone you’ve never met?
How can we go back to being friends
When we just shared a bed? (Yeah)
How can you look at me and pretend
I’m someone you’ve never met?
I’m someone you’ve never met
Oh, yeah
Back To Friends Lyrics Meaning
“Back to Friends” captures that heart-sinking moment when a casual night turns serious and leaves two people stranded between love and friendship.
Sombr recounts the tension of sharing a bed—*“How can we go back to being friends / When we just shared a bed?”—and the impossible task of pretending those feelings never surfaced. Vivid memories (“You were layin’ on my chest… I still remember”*) keep replaying, making any attempt at friendship feel like erasing history.
Emotionally, the song sits in the grey zone between longing and resignation. The narrator still clings to what happened, while the other person treats it as “casual.”
This imbalance fuels the hurt embodied in the hook. In the end, “Back to Friends” isn’t just about a breakup; it’s about the awkward, raw space where two people struggle to redraw boundaries that no longer fit.
