Analysis of I go back to you
Sara De Santiago 1996 (San Jose)
A constant wishy washy.
A flood of emotion.
The water is rising
Caught up in the waves of the ocean
Just let me drown
Insecurity is just something you do to yourself
Stuck like glue.
Everything becomes blue
Blurry, in this self destructive Haze
Then we relapse... I relapse
