Happy To Hang Around
Travis Lyrics

They were following me
Someone was stalking the singer

They were following everyone
The stalker was not just following the singer but many people

They had visions of me
The stalker had an idea of what the singer was like

Holding hands walking in to the sun?
The stalker had a fantasy of holding hands with the artist and walking into the sunset

Now people get down, people get down, people get hurt
Sometimes people get hurt emotionally when relationships end

When you did it to me
The singer was hurt by someone who ended a relationship with them

I was already in the ground
The singer was already emotionally hurt before the relationship ended

And I'll never get into your heart
The artist knows they will never be loved by this person

Though I don't even want to start
The artist has given up hope of being loved and has no intention of trying to win this person over

I'm just happy to hang around
The artist is content with being in the background and not pursuing a relationship

Take a picture of me
The singer is asking to have a photo taken of them

And show it to everyone
The artist wants the photo to be shared with others

And no more pictures of you
The singer does not want any more reminders of this person

No more love, no more setting sun
The singer is done with love and does not want to dream about a future together

And when you did it to me
The singer was hurt when this person ended their relationship

I was already in the dirt
The artist was already emotionally distraught before the breakup happened
