Matchbox 20 - Back 2 Good Lyrics






It's nothing, it's so normal
You just stand there I could say so much
But I don't go there 'cause I don't want to

And I was thinking if you were lonely
Maybe we could leave here and no one would know
At least not to the point that we would think so

And everyone here knows everyone here is thinking about somebody else
Well, it's best if we all keep this under our heads

And I couldn't tell
If anyone here was feeling the way I do
But I'm lonely now
And I don't know how
To get it back to good

This don't mean that, you own me
Well, this ain't no good
In fact it's phony as hell
Yeah, but things worked out just like you wanted to

If you see me out you don't know me
Try to turn your head
Try to give me some room
How to figure out just what I'm gonna do

'Cause everyone here hates everyone here for doing just like they do
And it's best if we all keep this quiet instead

And I couldn't tell
Why everyone here was doing me like they do
But I'm sorry now
And I don't know how
To get it back to good

Well, everyone here is wondering what it's like to be with somebody else
And everyone here's to blame
And everyone here gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain
Well, everyone here hides shades of shame
But looking inside we're the same, we're the same
And we're all grown now
Yeah, but we don't know how
To get it back to good

Well, everyone here knows everyone here is thinking 'bout somebody else
And it's best if we all keep this under our heads, in our heads

See, I couldn't tell 'bout
If anyone here was feeling the way I do
That's over now
And I don't know how
Guess it's over now
There's no getting back to good

Matchbox 20 Back 2 Good Comments
  1. k.... m....

    Everyone here wonders what it’s like to be with somebody else.
    And everyone here gets caught up in the passion of the pain. And everyone here hides shades of shame.
    But looking inside, we’re the same. We’re the same, but we don’t know how to get it back 2 good.

  2. E.... B....

    This is one of the best songs...ever. This and Push are my favorite Matchbox songs. They definitely don't make music like the 90's anymore...*sighs* The singers nowadays don't even sing right...their pronunciation of words is just awful. Basically all the singers both male and female on the radio right now sound like they are on drugs, speaking with lisps and gargling with loogers....LMAO. I don't even know what the style is called but it is pure trash & not true music! It's probably an over-dramatization but it just seems like good music died after the early 00's, a part from just a very select few.

  16. P.... E....

    This is a definitely classic in Woodstock's Jukebox! Love Rob and the guys! ☮️❤️🤘🤔💥🖖♒

    Way back where bands are good..

  25. R.... K....

    I have listened to this song so many times wondering what it could possibly means beside the obvious. Well, I am a child of God as we all are and trying to listen to see if there is anyway a song could mean something about Life and/or God. And this morning, as I listened once again a new twist came to my mind. I thought to myself that this song to me could be about how everyone does at some point in life -judges, cheats, lies, and just can treat others with disrespect. And how people get upset with others for doing the same thing as they do. We wonder why the world and the people in it are the way they are and we just don't know how to get it Back 2 Good. But hey, this is just what I came up with for myself to have a meaning behind this song.

  26. N.... A....

    It's phoney as hell!

  60. S.... S....

    When I was a kid my mom would play this while my pops was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. It was our song that brought us closer while dad was away. My brother was a baby while dad was gone, never really got to see grow while as an infant. Through the tough times without him I still go back to this song when days are rough. And I think about my family. Everybody is still here, me and my mom still cry to this song because we know how much we went through. Financially, loneliness, and constantly watching the news to make sure my dad's name didn't go across the screen.

  61. H.... S....

    I remember listening to this when I was just a kid dam still one of my old favorite songs 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧

  62. l.... ....

    I've loved Rob since around 1998. He's so hot.

  63. s.... k....

    One of the sexiest men on the planet. Still.....
    Everyone here is wondering what it's like to be with somebody else.

  64. H.... B....

    2019 still ❤❤❤

  65. A.... S....

    Yeah I feel the way you do

  66. S.... L....

    This song is always stuck in my head

  67. j.... s....

    passion or the pain.

  68. j.... s....

    doing like the made me do.

  69. j.... s....

    i do not get how to get it back to good.

  70. E.... J....

    This song brings back memories of when I was 14 and my brother got deployed i missed my brother so much and every time I heard this song it reminded me of him,it was his favorite song from this band and now it's my favorite song.

  71. S.... M....

    Is it just me or is this song an anthem for autism? I mean, I know for a fact Rob Thomas is a STONER (as am I and alot of other autism kids. It's the only thing that slows our brains down effectively AND creatively), but being on the spectrum myself, and relistening to this again, I think I finally get it, just like he says, "Were all grown now, yet we don't know how to get it back to good".
    Also the lines "keep it under our heads" and "I couldnt tell if anyone else was feeling the way I do"....
    Sorry, but you guys see it now, right?
    And it's not BAD thing, it's actually very BEAUTIFUL thing. Thomas is a genius, just like the rest of us. Just saying

  72. M.... R....

    So trueee~(^з^)-♡

  73. D.... H....

    MY FAVORITE 😍❤️ OF THEIRS

  74. T.... f....

    One of my fav groups of all time..where has REAL music gone??

  75. M.... ....

  76. D.... O....

    That blonde guy rob was sitting next to looks like chester bennington back then

  77. K.... N....

    this song reminds me of when I was in my addiction! Recovery is an ongoing everyday thing Thank God 19 months clean

  78. A.... ....

    I miss this era

  79. G.... w....

    Favorite

  80. K.... R....

    Classic

  81. J.... ....

    The lead singer really, really needs to take diction lessons. For example, the words "I" and "maybe" and "best" and "tell" and etc., etc., etc. are not four syllable words. Jesus H. fucking Christ, grow the fuck up!

  82. J.... M....

    Me and all of my cabbage patch kids want to hear this song on a JetBlue flight going to Disneyland In Anaheim California on an Airbus A321 aircraft to Los Angeles airport

  83. s.... m....

    >june 2019...

  84. b.... f....

    everyone here hides shades of shame...
    Always love this song... all I ever wanted and tried to do is GET BACK TO GOOD.

  85. H.... S....

    51 and feeling ancient as I remember where, when and how I was when this came out. And the moments, days, months and years continue to slide as I still listen to this on CD...DS

  86. L.... P....

    This is how a great song is supposed to sound. The words are clear but creative. The music caresses the lyrics where they intertwine and give the words that extra feeling.

  87. A.... M....
