I just wish I could have finally discovered it under better circumstances, you know? And I would take it all back if only I knew that I could. The easiest and most effective way to get her to come crawling back to you. You could find a way to forgive everything I know you would. I'm down on my knees I thought I was stronger. I'm out of my head can't wait any longer. At least for now.Ĭompared to some of the more showy songs on Wildflowers - the three-chord crunch of “You Wreck Me,” the grandly sly sarcasm of “It’s Good To Be King,” the bouncy jangle of “A Higher Place” - I guess it was easy for me to sleep on “Crawling Back To You,” but no more. Swallow my pride I'm crawling back to you. Which, of course, never stopped Tom - or you, or me, or anyone really - from worrying about those things.Īnd the end, after a pair of Roger McGuinn-esque guitar solos from Campbell, the song stops dead, and he repeats the title over and over - sad, resigned, not really wanting to, but knowing it seems like the only choice. My ex tried to come crawling back to me last. basically kiss their ass until they forgive you. Backstreet Boys - Crawling Back To You lyrics lyrics: Everybody knows that I was such a fool to ever let go of you Baby I was wrong Yeah I know I said.

And in fact, it didn’t catch my attention until 2009’s The Live Anthology, and even then, I probably didn’t realize that it was from Wildflowers until - well, just a couple of weeks ago, I guess.ĭominated by Benmont Tench’s piano and some slight shimmering guitar from Mike Campbell, “Crawling Back To You” is one of the more musically sparse songs on Wildflowers, and continually stopping and starting, getting cut short every time it picks up any kind of momentum, because he’s not running back to her, he’s crawling, plus he really wants you to pay attention to this masterful verse. To admit to someone you were wrong and apologize and blah blah. Like “Crawling Back To You,” a song that sits near the very end of 1994’s Wildflowers, and a song that I know that I totally ignored at the time. Of course, in the weeks since he died, I’ve immersed myself in his music, hoping to glean some kind of insights on old favorites, as well as maybe discover some new favorites. That’s what I did with Led Zeppelin earlier this year, and what I’ll be doing next year with Neil Young.īut of course, because he basically dropped dead with no warning, I had no chance to do all of that with Tom Petty. Usually, I like to prepare for all of this: when I know I’m getting near time to write about an artist about whom I’m going to go really deep, I’ll start incorporating their music in my life in weeks in advance - watching YouTube videos while on the elliptical putting their songs on my house mix reading books about their life and/or works.
