Follow You
Cheat Codes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's 5 am and I'm awake
Sephora stains your pillow case
And how I wish I could feel your lips on mine today

The road can be long, the distance is hard
But I won't let it swallow you
From New York to LA, Vegas to Santa Fe, oh
Baby, I'll follow you
I'll follow you, I'll follow you
Now when the clouds fall down and the sky ain't so blue, blue
I'll follow you, I'll follow you

It's 12 o'clock, I'm still in bed
Take a drag from a cigarette
How I wish I could feel your lips on mine instead

The road can be long, the distance is hard
But I won't let it swallow you
From New York to LA, Vegas to Santa Fe, oh
Baby, I'll follow you
I'll follow you, I'll follow you




Now when the clouds fall down and the sky ain't so blue, blue
I'll follow you, I'll follow you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cheat Code's "Follow You" depict the pain and longing of a person madly in love with their significant other who is away from them. The person is awake at 5 am, while their partner is asleep with Sephora stains on their pillowcase. The longing to feel their lips on their own becomes unbearable as the person yearns to be with their partner. Then at 12 o'clock, still in bed, the person takes a drag from a cigarette, but all they can think of is the taste of their lover's lips. The lyrics reveal the hardship that comes with distance and the strength required to keep the love and togetherness alive.


In the chorus, the person promises to follow their lover through the length and breadth of the United States, from New York to LA, from Vegas to Santa Fe. The phrase 'I'll follow you', repeated throughout the chorus, conveys the determination of the person to stay by their partner's side no matter the circumstances. When the clouds fall down and the sky is no longer blue, the person promises to follow their partner because their love is stronger than any obstacle.


Line by Line Meaning

It's 5 am and I'm awake
I am awake at 5 am


Sephora stains your pillow case
Your makeup is smudged on your pillow case


And how I wish I could feel your lips on mine today
I desire to kiss you right now


The road can be long, the distance is hard
The distance between us can be tiring


But I won't let it swallow you
I won't let the distance consume you


From New York to LA, Vegas to Santa Fe, oh
I will follow you from New York to LA, Vegas and Santa Fe


Baby, I'll follow you
I'll follow you wherever you go


I'll follow you, I'll follow you
I will always follow you


Now when the clouds fall down and the sky ain't so blue, blue
When things get tough and sad times come


It's 12 o'clock, I'm still in bed
It's noon and I'm still in bed


Take a drag from a cigarette
I take a puff from a cigarette


How I wish I could feel your lips on mine instead
I would rather be kissing you right now


I'll follow you, I'll follow you
I will always follow you

I don't think this is just a coincidence :
"...Living so naive, never going deep
Ain't a pill I could swallow, swallow, yeah
Taking off the edge, all I'm asking is
Will you be there to follow?
So down, hit ground when I'm going low
Tell me anywhere I go you will follow ..." - Vicetone's "Anywhere I Go"
AND :
"...The road can be long,
The distance is hard,
But I won't let it swallow you
From New York to L.A.,
Vegas to Santa Fe, oh,
Baby I'll follow you
I'll follow you..." - Cheat codes's " Follow you".
