Lily Allen - Back To The Start Lyrics

💿 🎶

I love this album!

Hoy es cumpleaños de mi hermano que falleció en Octubre y de niños como muchos tuvimos una pésima relación después crecimos y en algún momento le dediqué esta canción y solo me abrazo y me dijo Te Amo. Hoy se la dedico hasta el cielo y le digo Te Amo.

2019 anyone?

A song about the ugliness of envy

Poor families that fight on eachother

How the fuck is this album so good??? It's so underrated!! its one of the biggest album of the last years!

2019 anyone?

hell yeah, loved lily allen 10 years ago and love her today!

I'd like to meet Lily Allen in person just to tell her how moving this song is.

I adore this song

When we were growing up you always looked like you were having such fun
You always were and you always will be the taller and the prettier one
People seem to love you
They gravitate towards you
That's why I started to hate you so much
And I just completely ignored you

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long
It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong
I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years
All the pain I've caused you
The constant flow of all the tears
Believe me when I say that I cannot apologize enough
When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love
And if it's not too late
Could you please find it deep within your heart
To try and go back go back to the start
Go back to the start

I've been so evil with my constant invasions
But you made it so easy for me
You always rise to the occasion
I'll always pull you up on every stupid thing that you say
But I found it so entertaining
Messing around with your head

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long
It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong
I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years
All the pain I've caused you
The constant flow of all the tears
Believe me when I say that I cannot apologize enough
When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love
And if it's not too late
Could you please find it deep within your heart
To try and go back go back to the start
Go back to the start

Go back to the start
Go back to the start

This is not just a song
I intend to put these words into action
I hope that it sums up the way that I feel to your satisfaction

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long
It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong
I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years
All the pain I've caused you
The constant flow of all the tears
Believe me when I say that I cannot apologize enough
When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love
And if it's not too late
Could you please find it deep within your heart
To try and go back go back to the start
Go back to the start

This songs about her sister and reminds me of my brother and me 😊

I rmeber I would listen to this whole album in high school. Class of 09'

enough for me

One thing I love about Lily Allen is her open expression of her emotions. It's quite notable how her opinion stands, but asides from that I love how she displays her emotions will glass, unfiltered and transparent. I didn't realize the great lucidity of this song's lyrics until now, but I feel such a deeper admiration in her. I always felt an interest with her and her music but this song particularly touches my heart. I know that I don't know her full name, her full story, her greatest fears and dearest memories, but she definitely does not feel estranged to me either. I feel this song with a strange sense of familiarity, almost as if she read my diaries. I felt this way to my older sister, I admired her so much to a point where I envied her, it caused me deep down emotional pain over the years while also modeling into unjustified anger. Deep down in my heart I know Lily is not a stranger of this if she were truly the one to write this song. It amazes me how we may not know each other's fundamental info, but what truly matters is the connection between those.

Nossa,há muito tempo eu vinha querendo ouvir essa música.Finalmente achei

Since i was 5 years old i love listen to Lily Allen music.

listening to this song in 0.75 (velocity), omg, the chorus slower gets better than the fast of the original song in my opinion, and the rest of the song too <3

love is with me when I hear lily Allen

Electra Heart called. she says yes

Delicious Kawaiigami lol

to an extant I can see this song about Spencer and Melissa (PLL).

I can remember listening to this song for the very first time and just falling in love with it.. somewhere end 2008/early 2009, album came out early feb 2009 but some tracks were leaked.
here we are 8 years later. forgot have much I actually loved.
now I'm hooked again ❤

The ear rape at the beginning tho

Electra Heart TØP <3

Abby Inman <3

LM FAO TRU

Electra Heart the best rape ever

intriguing 4-chord song. The minor-key addition makes it a bit more unique.

A "bit more" ? unique?

Lily,

i , Archangel Michael forgive you -

BE FREE!!!

That first bit is ear rape 😂😂😂

That was really good!

This was such a sick album !

I listened to this song 6 times in 30 minutes I love it sooooooooo much

That's nothing. I listened to it 10 times in 10 minutes.

+ceputza That's mathematically impossible

Look at how long the video is.

Parisa Baweja Shariff wait was that a reply to me or to Ceputza, because 6x4,24 = 26,24

103 people have never went back to the start

+Abby Inman have never "gone" back to the start

Lily Allen = perfection

I had a big argument with my friend and I felt really bad so I sent her the link to this...
Please forgive me Toto san ;-;

Toto San ? :S

Toto-chaaaaaaaaan

0:7 to 0:14 doe

I remember watching a documentary about lilly Allen, and at the time she wrote this song, her sister were never on good terms and didn't talk  that well for many years after she listened to this song that lilly wrote to her, they immediately forgives each other and lived happily after (or so it seemed) they decided to go in partnership with a vintage clothing store called Lucy in Disguise (based by a Beatles song) where Lilly put in most of the capital the strain on there bond and the bussiness were taken there toll. Lilly and her sister Sharha which is one of the main reasons why she had a few years brake and also wanted to take care of her babies.  In 2014 the Allen sisters closed the rental clothes shop after being a massive flop and filed for bankruptcy. She then came back in the music industry in mid 2013 with a new studio album, 

I think its safe to say that both sisters are still friends=)

Her sister still causes problems in Lily's relationship with her parents, though. Listen to her new song "Who Do You Love?"

Such mean person

This song describes me and my sisters relationship so well.

No it's the international agnostic illuminism, the conspiracy that's been over there behind the scenes connecting money, science and wars for the last 150 years. 

Lucky my boss gave me this CD in '09. Wicked tune.

i actually like this song

omg this song is something all teenage girls should listen to

so inspiring!!!

So honest, love this song.

such a beautiful song

me encanta

So so. Not much to say. It's more fun if you see it yourself. Shark week's a lot better,people are really getting into it!

how's the future?!! D:

Jenelle Moore shitty

@Massimo Irvine true

not as good as this album ..... but visual arts are blooming ~

such a nice, sweet, simple song <3 <3

This is great!

Hope this phenomenon of music comes back and shows these kids nowadays how to make it right. Can´t here this shit in radio anymore.

me too! omg how cool is that?! :P

thats why it kicks ass

You're a tool.

it seems like she is cramming too many lyrics at once...

Im watching this in 2016

Dan Lew I am watching in 2016 :))) It's Almost 2017 In a month

Her poor sister.

Good song

Younger brother.

We fight for Kane!

atenea jeje <3

Aphex Twin !!

Low views = consider yourself on the good company of fellow connoisseurs

Naw, texting my Dad, does that count?

No! Don't let it get mainstream!

FUCK YOU FUCKING VEVO SHIT,

0:00 GO BACK TO THE START

Low views prove that few people have good taste in music.

It is about her sister, she talks about it in that documentry she did when she opened that shop called lucy in disguise with diamonds or something like that, anyway she and her sister that the song is about talked about how they felt about it << that's quite a few abouts.

Her new album is expected to be released this year very soon :)

SHAME THAT SHE DESAPEAR,CUZ I LUV AR.

she features in a song by p!nk, 'TRUE LOVE' it is a very good song!

Come back and save music Lily.

Cool song

nah i think its probably about a good friend or sister that she was jealous of.. never gonna happen is 'bout some dude that keeps chasing her and does'nt get her hints that she's just not interested in him :)

I feel like this song is sort of a sequel to Never Gonna Happen

Heard this song off my friend's phone this morning, thank god. I love this song!

When my new youtube channel is up and running I might have a go at making a video for it, I will inbox you if it ever happens :)

I have been looking for this song for years!! Ah i love my roommate for having this song in her playlist

o come on its better to forgive people i wish i could explain why but i dont know how but everyone makes mistakes some big some small keeping grudges gets people no where

what does this song actually mean?

Why thank you!

this is so rare.

a song talking about being wrong and recognizing it.

73 people need to go back to the start

you da man lily

i love this song by her actually everysong lol lemme rephrase that, and im glad this song is about a family member so if i ever fight with my sister this song goes to her! :D

Like, if you're listening to this in 2012...on a unicycle, eating ice cream, carrying your nephew, texting your mom about your grades in college, and smoking a blunt.

we arent meant to die till the END of 2012.

it's such a sad thing. I think my sister and I have a lot of the same kind of mutual resentment. Oh, Lily Allen... she always captures the nature of human behavior.

Still listening in- WAIT!!!! Who cares??!?

Still listening to this in 2007 cause it's amazinggg!

Is absolutely amazed that the "thumbs up if you're listening in 2012" crap isn't in the top comment... does this mean no one listen in 2012 :O

quit complaining about ppl saying thumbs up if your listening this year.... and just dont thumbs up thier stupid comment
