swing back
Pendulum's reverse arc
Swing back describes a return to a previous position, state, or opinion after having moved away from it.
The phrase often appears in discussions of trends, public sentiment, or political mood: The pendulum will swing back toward moderation.
It can also be literal—a door swinging back to its closed position, or someone turning around to face what's behind them.
