- I was very disappointed when I couldn't find this song with lyrics, I could barely even find any other version of this other than Live, music video, and covers....so here are the lyrics, ENJOY!
No one makes music like this anymore. One of the best songs ever.
Rob does
That's a bunch of bs ofcourse, even aside from the original artist still making new music, there's millions of musicians on our planet, so there's probably multiple bands making music like this.
When I go into a bar and see the singles scene I swear the lyrics 'Everyone here knows everyone here is thinking about somebody else. Well it's best if we all keep this under our heads" fit's the scene like a glove. This song makes me think that my heartbreak isn't the only one that matters and I see friends in just ordinary strangers. Since we are all trying to find love and get by in this cruel world. So I always play this song on the jukebox.
I comepletely agree with u.
Yes, definitely...
Agree so sad these days nobody gets it
I sing this on karaoke nearly everytime cuz it makes me laugh. And noone hardly ever knows why
Now i know the meaning of this nice song....tnx to you guys
My husband of 17 years just passed away. We always loved these guys. I'm going on Bill I hope your proud of me
Going thru the same thing, 17 years as well 💔💔💔
hang in there i will be sending good vibes to you and others
After 17 years, I'm sure he is very proud of you! Stay strong!
tracie day bless you
Tracie I hope your ok. This is a tough time for anyone who lost someone
i could listen to this song all day on repeat
Status... lol
Me too, honestly. Rob Thomas is a musical genius
Caboose ? That Yew?
I do !
I do . And making friends with shadows on the wall.
Crazy how this song meant something totally different when I was in my early 20s. I'm 36, now. Today is the first time I've listen to this song in over a decade. Now I actually understand what the song is about. #lifelessons.
@JesusLovesGunViolence I don't think I actually quite knew or understood exactly what the song was saying. I just liked it for whatever reason. Typical teen heartbreaks and "love" that you don't even understand then, but u think u do. Then ur an adult and you REALLY get it and understand. Idk. It like I never really understood this song until I heard it again a few weeks ago. Can't really explain it. Just life things I guess. 🤷♀️
It hits completely different now that I'm older. You're absolutely right
Been listening to this on repeat for days .
This song is painfully relatable.
I was 8 when this came out now I got an 8 year old. Time sure does go
Right wtf is happening, I woke up 30 years old one day with 2 babies of my own. No idea where the time went
Yeah I was 19 when this song came out and yes, every year speeds up
This song brings me back to what was once good
....and could be again.
@@icculus19 but almost never will be
....But almost never will be again
Merry Christmas everyone! Today I found out I am going to be a dad for the second time!! What a great Christmas present
Congratulations!!
Stick with it brother, be what you wanted
Congratulations =)
Congratulations!
I hope things are going well! :)
As I get older this song always represents something different in my life as time changes. When can we ever get back 2 good. Such a classic.
21 years old almost 22, my uncle recommended me this band, I’m truly mind blown. This is the first song I’m hearing from them and I can’t wait to hear what more they came out with.
So my interpretation of this song is that there are three very different parts/stages. At first he is trying to rationalize that what he is doing is normal. The second is him asking if he’s the only one thinking this way. The third is that he’s decided that there’s no “getting back to good.” Honestly, it’s heartbreaking. It kind of reminds me of someone who rationalizes cheating, but realizes in the end that they messed up. There is no getting back to good.
I think that, if you really scrutinize the lyrics, you will see that your phases of the song are right but the context is deeper. He is definitely trying to convince someone to leave with him and he is using that to convince himself to leave with them... But thats not all. Each verse he is less specific in his words but his meaning cuts closer to his personal feelings that he alludes to when he says "I won't go there 'cause I don't want to."
In verse one he is trying to not think about why he is trying to talk them into coming, that being his old relationship has imploded. His summery is that he's lonely and he can't fix his old relationship anyway.
In Verse two we see more of his feelings as he tris to assert that the person he is talking to can't claim control over him. He is just getting through the hurt caused by the previous love trying to tell him what he could think and how he was allowed to feel. The puzzle of the death of his relationship is coming together.
In verse three we get the last pieces: he had been thinking of infidelity. I think its implied that he hadn't ACTED on the thoughts because of verse two and the line "everyone hides SHADES of shame." However, old flame learned of his thoughts and counted it as being as bad as actually following through on the fantasy and terminated the relationship. His mind replays to that point and he is forced to confront what he didn't want to talk about in verse one. Its over now.
He tries to return to his first verse intent, "lets keep this under our belts" but he can't convince himself and he falls back into the despair hes been trying to escape with the whole scene. It's over now and he can't get back to good.
Sorry for the wall of text. I've been stewing on these lyrics for a couple of hours and needed to spew them out somewhere.

It’s just a song about growing into an adult. Don’t over think it PhD
Gracias poor centavos dos
Reminds me of one of the most painful times of my life..and yet I can't help but listen to it....
this song says sooo much....its about REAL LIFE. ..Just wondering will it EVER BE BACK TO GOOD????
i pray it does get back to good
Got to see this live last week. It was just as good live!! Amazing when he starts really getting into it at the end. Craziness!
Wow!! This man can sing with his heart. Much love✌🏽🦋💙✌🏽
I think this one has been playing quietly in the background of my life for like 20 years and seriously I didn't acknowledge it existed until I was walking through Wal Mart about a month ago and I heard this softly in the background and it was like a weird switch activated in my brain that I knew that song all along - so now it will be my karaoke anthem going forward :)
Fml!, so true. Happened on my commute to work.
qwizexasmk..vu
This song makes me think about how everyone is doing someone Rong.
Everyone here is to blame
Right
Beautiful, I have so many memories and ppl tied to that song it makes me cry....
When self-destruction looms, there's sometimes just no solution but to leave.
This song was (is) SO UNDERRATED!
You just stand there, I could say so much, but I don't go there cuz I don't want to.
I love this song!!...THE LYRICS MAKE SO MUCH SENSE...THERE'S no getting back good.
There is no getting back THAT good... but there is plenty of good to be had elsewhere if we allow ourselves to get it.
Nothing ever goes back to good. Especially the things that matter the most.
I've been listening to Matchbox Twenty for 20 years and I've only just realized this song is about cheating.. 😂 Still a classic 🤘🏼
🐞🐞🐞🌻🌻🌻🏺🏺🏺🖕🖕🖕😂😂😂
Interesting... it's about cheating? I always interpreted it as his view of the world. Of course, there's heartbreak, but what I love about this song is that you can listen to it almost any time you're going through teouble, and it can adjust to the current problem you're facing.
Andrea Stowe I think it's about a relationship that has run its course. she wants more and he wants to end it😢I completely identified with the lyrics, ugh, talk about heartbreak.
It's about how we think about cheating, not actually cheating. You never know what you got till it's gone. The grass is always greener on the other side. We always long for what we can't have. It's basic human nature and explains that we are all self-destructive.
This song takes me back to the time it came out. I worked a factory and had a crush there bigger than the one I had at home on my wife. To me then it was soley about cheating either emotionally or physically.
The more I've listened to it, it's deeper than that. "Everyone here hides shades of shame" tells me that he's saying no one can be accusive bc "we all have something going on, and this is mine, mind your own shit." He also everyone is wondering what it's like to be with somebody else, which, unless that's literal in a crowd, it's an assumption only to justify ones actions, bc clearly not everyone thinks about someone else in the way of cheating.
This song goes way back with me, and I love it even more today!!
I’ve never been a huge fan of their other songs, but this one’s a masterpiece
unwell..
Man these guys got me through my teen years it's amazing what music can do even after all these years
Man I love MB....! is just perfect to listen anytime anywhere. happy or sad, angry or relaxed.
Favorite song by this group! Still rocking in '18!
2020 and still jamming!
Guess it's over now, there's no getting back to good. Story of my fkn life... 😑
Commenter 4092 read tge bible
we should be close
No shit ,me too! FML love this song
Terry Spivey I’m over it. I agree.
There is no doubt, this is one of the greatest songs ever written. This is what we all think and brings chills to my arms listening to the lyrics.
I agree I often cry
Saw them in 01 in C-town, very boring show, but Rob Thomas is a great songwriter, just a fantastic tune
YEP
I appreciate his lyrics and I use many of his songs whenever I feel depression or need hope when I feel broken. Music is therapeutic
And some of us even do.
This a very important song to me it was at a crazy time in my life. This song came out at the Sametime I was in somewhat of a relationship with long time girlfriend and reconnected with a girl from a my passed. She was also in relationship we talked some but I was real excited to see the next time. we'll we did both of us parted ways with the other people were involved with. almost 19yrs ago and we are still together. this song told how my life was going all those years ago. Great kids we have so happy in life I love you Michele.
This!!!! :) I love us & our life we have created!!! Love you more!!!!
Yall are awesome
Music is beautiful
Conformist Bastard Thank you just celebrated 19yrs with the most beautiful woman in the world. Could not be more happy. Life is great
Frankie Earwood hope I can get on yalls level one day buddy. My parents had a love like yalls before my pop died 10 years ago. I'll never forget how they were though. And your story lets me know that shit is still out there
this song says sooo much....its about REAL LIFE. ..Just wondering will it EVER BE BACK TO GOOD????
there's never getting back good... keep ur head up
It’s all good but there’s no getting back to good.
If you could get it back you would still have it to begin with. stop wondering. It breeds hope💔💭
@@southernhot9259 aww Southern hot- u right-don't be breeding hope all over the place
What's wrong with hope????

SOULMATE , but u are gone. need
I knew this song would make sense in my life when I heard it for the first time. This past month when you tube suggested it and I heard it. It made sense.
GOD I love this song! I think I've just replayed it 3 times.....
i've just been sitting on my own tonight like a wee nigel no pals, been drinking lots of beer and feck knows why but thought i'd go on youtube and start listening to any old songs i could rememebr from my younger (only slighter younger!) days. listened to probably all their older songs tonight talk about nostalgia who needs to go out what a great night i've had almost brought tears to my eyes!! MARRY ME you little princess!! (so long as your'e not actually a punk lol)
Rob is a songwrighting machine. The musical arrangement to this song fits the lyrics perfectly. One of the greatest songs I have ever heard.
Well said
This is my favorite song and it's been 20 yrs almost and nothing beats it yet.💯❤️💥🎶
Still listening
@@fuzzy4201 me also ❤️💥❤️💥
Yeah and I’ll probably never luv again like I did before
I don't remember the video with the OJ. , but we're getting it back to good for future generations, thank you.
You just stand there, I could say so much, but I don't go there cuz I don't want to.
Awesome!!
Yes true
I went there tonight.....didnt help anything
Going down 90's memory lane wouldn't be complete without this song. Thanks for posting!
matchbox 20 All the way from Medlock Ms.we want to say we're back to Good ThankYou
Still listening Jan 16 2019
Love them so much! Their Concert Performance in August at Jones Beach Theater was awesome! Rob has a powerful, beautiful voice.
That’s so funny I was reading the comenta about this song and I was there too at that concert always go to New York and I go to that beach all the time wow so cool
I've been on both sides of of the dirt relationships can have, meaning I've cheated and been cheated on, this song hit me different these days, so many memories from the late 90's and early 2000's flood my mind when I listened to this , what a beautiful voice and amazing song writer.
Songs like this one make you realize that sometimes we feel the same way.
Sooo many years their music has saved me
Man! those vocals at 2:27 just send me to place where nobody has ever been or seen
i could listen to this song all day on repeat
When self-destruction looms, there's sometimes just no solution but to leave.
Their best by a mile.
well said!
The entire album was gold
There is no going back to good!🌷
That description. It's so sweet.
Love Rob Thomas a great singer-songwriter..is just him, so good looking even at 45..
I want to hate you with every fiber of my being. But my love for you won't let that happen. And the confusion of the thousand feelings we have complicate that even more. I just know that when you go home, in some dark corner of your mind you wish she was me.
2019 this never gets old.
Best part is when he starts freaking out at 3:45 and 4:35
B Hoop haha that was funny.
Brittany Hooper Factz!lol
I love that part too.
One of the best songs ever and Rob's voice,
Old school I was having a blast when this song came out the 90.scass
God this song makes me cry every fucking time .... tu me manquse Pauline Boisgerault et je t'aime pour toujours cher
God bless you brother....incredible strength
Music takes you to a different place especially if you close your eyes and sing alone
good lord to think if I would have passed this song on Pandora I would have never found out about this awesome group and there equally awesome songs

19
It’s best if we keep this under our hats. Not heads..
This is exactly how my life started. And just after he put this song out there. I never even heard it until that first split...I said first!
To those who need it, I love you.
After all these years and I still don't know how to get it back to good?
Love mach box 20 my favorite group like this tune
2019 still
I got this album on my 13th birthday and it's crazy because I understood the gravity of the words at that age because of my messed up childhood...now I'm 35 and it brings me back but hits a little harder
Deepest lyrics ever.....
Rob Thomas is a lyrical genius and we'll he is just FUCKING amazing!!!
Too much nostalgia.
This song sounds very spiritually coded like many many many songs from these performers are. Separation from God by the Ego and feeling guilty towards God about it, with no reason for the guilt whatsoever except identifying too much with the non-eternal Ego that's dumb enough to feel guilty. 'Here' means on Earth. Lyrics about confusion worrying about restoration of this relationship to God. Lyrics that mention being lonely feeling separated while we are in fact ALL ONE, shades of the shame felt, ego making us feel like it owns us in the meantime, hell being phony, in frustration we punish each other mistakenly, best to keep quiet, you'll find the truth in the quiet of meditating with the Source of All Love. That's how they spiritually code these songs while fitting it to a more surface-level narrative swinging sexually with people after a busted up relationship. Back 2 Good = code for Spiritual Restoration to the masses listening, in my honest opinion.
A quote about Rob Thomas in the LA Times:
"THE Passion of the Rob?
Not exactly, but when discussing “Something to Be,” the upcoming solo debut album by Matchbox Twenty singer Rob Thomas, producer Matt Serletic is drawn to biblical imagery.
“I’m not overtly Christian, nor is Rob, but this was a spiritual journey of looking inside yourself, giving all that you are,” says Serletic, who has also produced all three Matchbox albums and, for his day job, is chairman and CEO of Virgin Records."
ROB THOMAS YOU SNEAKY DEVIL 😏
song says it all for me
You never know
One of the greats, very underestimated
Incredibly written and performed. Bravo.
Thank you so much for posting this! I don't have much going on in my life and I look forward to my TH-cam. Much needed🎤😌😼
When self-destruction looms, there's sometimes just no solution but to leave.
cant get this song outta my head lately
Had got this as a cassette from dad and he ain't even know them like that lbdas but I love the whole album! Still!
Miss the 90's 😕
I vaguely remember the 90s …
June 2019?
This kind of music I never knew who these groups were or there names because I've never heard of this before until my young brother got me into it an now I like it
oh Jesus that's smooth
I love this song!
I do know what needs to be done ... don't keep it under your heads. Be honest, repent of your crap, go make amends, reconcile with the one you've wronged, if you truly love them.
It hit a spot in my heart. 😢❤
Makes me emotional, as a man, every time I hear this song.
BRAVO MOTHER'S AND FATHER'S THOSE WHO HAVE A LOSS AND TO THOSE WHO ARE AFRAID OF LOSING ONE I AM AN AMERICAN FRECKLED WHITE WOMAN MY SON IS A SOLDIER U.S.A IN JESUS NAME AMEN
One of my favs
Love this song!!!
