One way to hold this phrase: picture a swing. It goes out, it comes back, it goes out again, and it never arrives anywhere new. The same short path is travelled over and over. Everything the phrase does keeps that picture. Describe the movement and it is an adverb; name the whole of it and it is a noun; do it and it is a verb.
