Once upon a time I was somebody else
In another life, I saw myself
Way back then, back when I was you
Somewhere down the line I started to slip
Years gone by, biting my lip
All the while, all this time I knew
Now your on your own, one for the pages
Over the hill and through the ages
Does my heaven burn like hell on you?
Out beneath the cracks and coming in waves
Rolling like an earthquake under the pavement
Heavy now, tell me Mr.Truth
You got a lot of nerve
Now show a little backbone why don't you [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/foo_fighters/back_and_forth.html ]
(Chorus)
I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you
Are you feeling the same as I do now and now and then?
I'm lookin' for some back and forth with you
Are you feeling the same as I do?
Down and out
Holding my breath I waited and waited
How'd the simple life get so complicated?
Shoes to fill, secrets to spill down you
Deer in the headlights, spoke in the wheel
You want pretend I need for real
I'm taking it back, all my IOU's
You got a lot of nerve
Now show a little backbone why don't you
(Chorus)
(Solo)
You got a lot of nerve
Now show a little backbone why don't you
(Chorus x3)
A motion under the covers with a special someone ;)

I think it's about a struggle in yourself. Maybe sometimes you just have to grow a pair and tell someone to f off.

I belive the song is a conflicted person having a conversation with there younger self on how things are and will be in the future.

He is talking about himself back in those years. Is like he was another person, not the same as now. Grohl surprises me everyday with his lyrics, becaus i feel the same way. It happens to me with a lot of his songs.

I think its someone he knew back from the nirvana days... Courntney or krist? Or it could be autobiographical about some personal things that went on w/him back in the day and still linger on.
