This song opens with lyrics that depict a deep physical closeness between partners. "Touch my body tender, 'cause the feel, it makes me weak / Kicking off the covers, I see the ceiling while you're looking down at me," illustrates a relationship that has crossed the boundaries of ordinary friendship.

Sombr also highlights how beautiful memories are hard to forget. In the lyrics "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, yeah," there is an implied memory that is difficult to forget, as well as longing and pain because that moment has passed.

2. Questions That Keep Arising

A big question then arises, "How can we go back to being friends, when we just shared a bed? / How can you look at me pretend i'm someone you've never met?" This refrain that keeps repeating becomes a depiction of the inner conflict that rages. This question is not only directed at others but also at oneself, questioning whether it is truly possible to return to a friendship after a deep relationship has occurred. The song explains that it is not easy for someone to return to the path of friendship after doing many things that go beyond the boundaries of friendship.

3. Wounds from Lies

Although this song highlights love and beautiful memories that are hard to forget, back to friends also tells about the wounds caused by lies in a relationship. The lyrics snippet "The Devil in your eyes, won't deny the lies you sold," illustrates the dark side of a relationship filled with deceit and false promises. Nevertheless, there is still an attachment that makes it hard to let go, as expressed in the lyrics "I hold it on too tight, won't you let go? This is casual." This contradictory feeling is at the core of the conflict in the song back to friends.

Touch my body tender
'Cause the feel, it 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, yeah

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 sold
I hold it on too tight
Won't 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 (Yeah)
