Where You Go
Au Revoir Simone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been reading about you, I know where youve been
You don't know how much I liked you and I think of you
So much to tell you, to fill you in
Where you go is where I want to be
Wherever you go is where I want to be
I wonder if it's right to call you a friend
I remember your eyes, they made me way too late
I know you're out there, can't wait till we meet again
Where you go is where I want to be
Wherever you go is where I want to be
Where you go is where I want to be
Wherever you go is where I want you to lead me, to lead me
So much to tell you, I have to find you
It's time I see you, I wish we were alone
And it was late at night, I met you at a party
It was a crowded room, I couldnt hear you talking
You tried to hold my hand and then you left without me
But don't you know that where you go is where I want to be
The lyrics of Au Revoir Simone's song "Where You Go" describe the singer's infatuation with someone they have been reading about and seeing around town by coincidence. The singer reminisces about the times when they have seen this person, realizing how much they liked them, and wondering whether it's right to consider them a friend. They dream of being where the person goes, wishing that they would lead them to their desired destination.
The song's chorus emphasizes the singer's longing to be where this person is, suggesting that they have a strong desire to be close to them. It's clear that the singer is head over heels for this person, despite their somewhat distant relationship. They recall how much they have to tell them and want to find them to share their feelings. The bridge describes a memory of meeting the person at a crowded party, and despite the noise and confusion, the singer didn't want to leave their presence. They realize that wherever the person goes is where they want to be, and they desire to be led by them.
Overall, the song's lyrics express the universal feeling of unrequited infatuation and the desire to be close to someone who seems out of reach. The singer's longing to be near the person they admire is a relatable sentiment that many people may have experienced at some point in their lives.

You attempted to hold my hand, and then you departed without me
But don't you know that where you go is where I want to be
You should know by now that I want to be wherever you go
