Follow Me
Bettens Sarah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How much time I've wasted always wanting more
I doubt you'll end up where you need to be with me
I tend to run in circles, walkin in my own sea
I can run and play and dive into the ocean
I can touch the sand and feel it slip away
You could follow me, I don't know where
You could follow me, it might not be the
Smartest thing to do but you could follow me
I want you to be happier than me
I'm a poor example of a carefree human being
Here's a list of thing I wish to be
Your pillow and your blanket and your
Life time guarantee
I can love you all the way across the ocean
And I doubt that that will ever go away
You could follow me
If I stop believing there's a reason for my life,
I might as well stop trying to make
Sense of what is right,
You could follow me
But you Should follow me
The lyrics to Sarah Bettens' song "Follow Me" describe the internal conflict of the singer as she struggles with her own feelings of inadequacy and inability to be the kind of partner she wants to be. She acknowledges that she is flawed and not the best role model for a carefree life, making her wonder if the person she's addressing should really follow her. The lyrics suggest her confusion and indecisiveness in a relationship, as she acknowledges that she keeps walking in her own circles, yet still invites the other person to follow her. She's not sure where she's going, but the listener could follow her if they want to, even though it might not be the smartest decision.
In the second part of the song, she expresses her desire for the other person to be happier than her. She wishes she could offer the other person comfort and security, going as far as to list herself as their pillow, blanket, and lifelong guarantee. Despite her uncertainty about where she's going and her own lack of happiness, she promises to love the listener across oceans, showing that she is willing to take risks for the relationship.
