Around You
1/6 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
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 yet
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 to be around for this here, this year
Next year, every year, you've been here for every tear
You complete me even though I'm whole on my own
I had you on ice like the snow when it's gone
Look, you should slide my way, be easy on the brakes
Black ice, never catch me slippin' bae
I buy the extraordinary stay, in the A or in LA
Put that Snoh and Stevie Wonder on replay, replay
And we can get away, ridin' down PCA
Like it's back in the day and now the record on replay
I'm by your side like Sade, two lovers in the Bentley coupe, coupe
And I try not to show but eyes can't hide how I'm feelin' on the low
I just wanna two step until we can't no mo'
Gettin' older sittin' next to you, you (you, ooh, woo)
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
In the song "Around You," 1/6 is expressing his desire for someone to be around him. He acknowledges that he has a strong attraction to this person, but struggles with expressing his feelings. He wants to get away with this person and just sit next to them, listening to the music on replay. He tries to resist his feelings and wait for the right time but deep down, he knows that he wants this person around for every tear and every year. The chorus “I want you around” repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the main message.
The lyrics capture the feeling of being in love but not being ready to act on it yet. The idea of wanting someone around but not wanting to kiss them yet emphasizes the idea of taking things slow and enjoying each other’s company before jumping into anything too serious. The use of references to music – “Innervisions on replay,” “Put that Snoh and Stevie Wonder on replay” – adds to the romantic atmosphere of the song and gives insight into 1/6's musical taste.

I remember my parents watching the Watergate hearings and not “getting” it as a little kid. Iran/Contra, I didn’t care. But as an adult now, I see how important hearings such as these are!
wattetiparoch
Great point! My mother, a Stauch Repub. told me as a kid that l should watch Watergate hearings as they were very historically important. Not a peep about fake news. :___)
I remember 'not to my recollection' being said a lot. And Sen. Sam Ervin (sp.?) being very effective. He was a Repub. by the way.
Maddogwillie
And what do all those hearing have common as well as this one…a Republican President….if you want a better America..an America that is geared up for the future instead of returning to the disappointing past…then stop voting for the GOP
Sherald Daniels
Daughter singlehandedly restores the Cheney legacy and hopefully the GOP dignity, principles and soul. She makes me proud to be an American citizen
HoneyMFGunz
Seeing republicans stepping up and putting our nation ahead of personal or political leanings gives me so much hope for the future. It was really feeling like we might be failing as a nation.
The Ranting German
One year later, are you still of this opinion, given that the Republicans are hellbend on making Trump their nominee, and if you are no longer of this opinion, why? If you are: Why? I ask without any negative intentions.
aazhie
Vote while you still can, whenever possible, we are still on the edge of a very deep, dark chasm.

Kudos to MSNBC for uploading these without the hours of intro found in most versions. Oh and also for allowing comments. Thank you. This might be the most incriminating episode yet.

Fake fake fake. Just like Russia Russia Russia
