I'll Be Around
Elvis T. Busboy & The Blues Butchers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be around from now on.
Your latest love can never last,
And when it's past, I'll be around when he's gone.
Goodbye again and if you find a love like mine,
Just now and then drop a line
To say you're feeling fine.
Perhaps you'll see you're meant for me,
So, I'll be around when he's gone.
Goodbye again
Now and then
Drop a line
To say that you're feeling fine
And when things go wrong,
Perhaps you'll see you're meant for me,
So, I'll be around when he's gone.
In Elvis T. Busboy & The Blues Butchers's song "I'll Be Around," the singer asserts their loyalty and dedication to their lover, claiming that no matter how they are treated, they will always be present. The repeated phrase "I'll be around" suggests a steadfastness and resilience that will endure through any challenges that may arise in the relationship. The singer seems to have a degree of confidence in the longevity of their love, predicting that the current object of their lover's affections will not be able to last, leaving room for the singer to step in and be there when he is gone.
The chorus of the song takes on a different tone, as the singer bids farewell to their lover but leaves the door open for a potential reunion in the future. The line "And when things go wrong, Perhaps you'll see you're meant for me" suggests that the singer believes their love is fated to be, and that their lover may come to realize this as well. The final line, "So, I'll be around when he's gone," serves as a reminder of the singer's commitment to their lover, even in the face of potential heartbreak and uncertainty.

I'll be around no matter how you treat me now,
I will always be present in your life, regardless of how you treat me in the present moment.
I'll be around from now on.
My presence in your life will continue indefinitely starting today.
Your latest love can never last,
The person you are currently with is not a long-term option for you.
And when it's past, I'll be around when he's gone.
Once the current person you are with is gone, I will still be present.
Goodbye again and if you find a love like mine,
Farewell for now, and if you happen to find someone else like me,
Just now and then drop a line
Occasionally reach out and let me know how you are doing.
To say you're feeling fine.
Tell me that you are doing well.
And when things go wrong,
In the event that things in your life take a turn for the worse,
Perhaps you'll see you're meant for me,
You may realize that we are truly meant to be together.
So, I'll be around when he's gone.
In that case, I will still be present and available to be with you once your current relationship is over.
