The Kid Laroi I Can’t Go Back To The Way It Was

“I Can’t Go Back To The Way It Was (Intro)” finds LAROI reflecting on sad past events that had a lasting impression on him, from losing his loved ones to the hardships he faced with his mother while he struggled to face those demons.

The song’s production offers a basic blend of sounds that clearly allows LAROI to express the full gamut of his emotions. The song’s theme is somehow comparable to the songs “TELL ME WHY” and “WITHOUT YOU,” which have a similar theme of not wanting to let go of the past.

LAROI shared an official preview of the song on January 12, 2023, revealing that it was indeed the opening track to his album, The First Time. Later, however, he contradicted the claims and announced that the song won’t serve as the lead single. Alongside the song’s release, he also revealed that he would be releasing “Love Again” as the lead single on January 27, 2023.

Lyrics

[Verse]
I reminisce
On the last Christmas I spent with my mom and my dad
I’m still trippin’, wishin’ that I could go back
To know what I’m missin’, it’s a mystery, oh, how’d I forget?
I’m not a magician, I try fixin’ shit that I can’t
Memories make me sick
I hope the past the hardest that it gets
Mama said she drinkin’ to forget
I told my mama, “Save your son a sip”
Tryna slow my breath and get a grip
I think life is harder than in death
They’re in Heaven, I’m the one that’s left (They left)

[Chorus]
I did things that I knew were wrong
But time just keeps movin’ on
And no matter which way I run
I can’t go back to the way it was
I broke bones and I shed some blood
And timе took a few friends I love
And no mattеr which way I run
I can’t go back to the way it was, no

[Bridge]
And I can’t go back to the way it was, no
And I can’t go back to the way it was, no
(Hold this moment while you can)
(Tell your people that you care)
(Do it now while you still can)

[Outro]
I can’t go back to the way it was, no (Can’t go back to the—)
I said I can’t go back to the way it was now, oh (No, no)
I can’t go back to the way it was, no
