I want you around
Snoh Aalegra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's somethin' 'bout the way you stare into my eyes
I know that I don't make things clear (no)
I fall for you every time I try to resist you
We can get away
Palm trees, beach views
Ordinary day
All I wanna hear is Innervisions on replay
And sit right next to you, you
I try not to show how I feel about you
Thinkin' we should wait, but we don't really want to
I just wanna get away
And sit right next to you, you
I don't wanna kiss you
Yeah, I just wanna feel you
Feel you
I want you around (around)
Around
I want you around (around)
Around ('round, 'round, 'round)
I want you around
Around
I want you around
Around, around, 'round, 'round
(I want you around)
Come through, I think I need you here (what)
I swear it's hard to keep these feelings to myself
Now you're the one I'm thinkin' of
My higher ground, my rocket love
Fuck gravity, I'd rather stay up here, but
We can get away
Palm trees, beach views
Ordinary day
All I wanna hear is Innervisions on replay
And sit right next to you, you
I try not to show how I feel about you
Thinkin' we should wait, but we don't really want to
I just wanna get away
And sit right next to you, you
I don't wanna kiss you
Yeah, I just wanna feel you
Feel you
I want you around (around)
Around
I want you around (around)
Around ('round, 'round)
I want you around (know that I want you, yeah, yeah)
Around
I want you around (I want you around, yeah, yeah)
Around, around, 'round, 'round
(I want you around, oh no, around)
The lyrics to Snoh Aalegraโs โI Want You Aroundโ paint the portrait of someone who is conflicted about their feelings towards their significant other. The singer makes it clear that they want the person in their life, but there is something that prevents them from being entirely upfront about their emotions. They acknowledge that there's something compelling about this person's gaze and that they fall for them every time they try to say no. They constantly find themselves caught off guard, struggling to resist this person's charm.
The song's second verse demonstrates the battle of feelings that the singer faces; they want to express themselves, to let their object of affection know how much they care, but they find it challenging to have open communication. There is a sense of frustration with themselves, wanting to share their emotions, but feeling weighed down by self-doubt. The singer then mentions the desire to get away with this person, just the two of them, with no interruptions from the outside world, and to have that one song on repeat adding to the ambiance.
Overall, the song combines the struggle of wanting to express their feelings, but being hung up on internal doubts and uncertainties. The song does an excellent job of conveying the push-and-pull of uncertainty and desire that are prevalent in many relationships.
