about
"Back And Forth" is the first single from Portrait of Tao's debut album, which will be
released in the fall of 2024. The song is about the inner struggle between the
excitement of new experiences and the comfort of the familiar. It's about leaving and
returning. Searching for home - as a feeling, not a place.

lyrics
i couldn’t wait to leave town
packed up my stuff then i was gone
where is the place that i belong
i’m sure leaving ain’t wrong
rapidly i made up my mind
i need to leave it all behind
starting all over someplace else
I gotta face it myself
part of me says i will not come back
It still tears me up inside
on the other hand it’s home to me
though i don’t know what that means
Nobody here knows my face
Tryin‘ myself out in different ways
But what is this place all about
when you’re not around
a broken piano from next door
wailing sirens all night long
who am i still trying to fool
I think ill be heading back home
part of me says i will not come back
it still tears me up inside
on the other hand it’s home to me
though i don’t know what that means
now i know what that means
packed up my stuff then i was gone
where is the place that i belong
i’m sure leaving ain’t wrong
rapidly i made up my mind
i need to leave it all behind
starting all over someplace else
I gotta face it myself
part of me says i will not come back
It still tears me up inside
on the other hand it’s home to me
though i don’t know what that means
Nobody here knows my face
Tryin‘ myself out in different ways
But what is this place all about
when you’re not around
a broken piano from next door
wailing sirens all night long
who am i still trying to fool
I think ill be heading back home
part of me says i will not come back
it still tears me up inside
on the other hand it’s home to me
though i don’t know what that means
now i know what that means
