I Will Follow You Tonight
Evan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been roamin' around, always lookin' down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you

Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh

I can't win, I can't reign
I will never win this game without you
Without you
I am lost, I am vain
I will never be the same without you
Without you
I won't run, I won't fly
I will never make it by without you
Without you
I can't rest, I can't fight
cll I need is you and I, without you
Without you

Love of mine, someday you will die
But i'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Wagin' wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me (oh oh oh x2)
Someone like me (oh oh oh x2)
Someone like me
(I can't win, I can't reign
I will never win this game without you)
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now
I'm ready now

I'm ready now
(I will follow you into the dark)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Evan's song "I Will Follow You Tonight" speak about the feelings of longing, searching, and the need for someone else's presence and love. The opening lines, "I've been roamin' around, always lookin' down at all I see," suggest a sense of isolation and dissatisfaction with what the singer sees around them. They feel disconnected from others, represented by the "painted faces fill the places I can't reach." The repeated phrase, "You know that I could use somebody," highlights the singer's yearning for companionship and someone to rely on.

The following lines, "I have climbed highest mountains, I have run through the fields, only to be with you," suggest that the singer has gone to great lengths and made significant sacrifices in their pursuit of love and connection. However, they admit, "But I still haven't found what I'm looking for." This line implies a deep sense of longing and unfulfillment, despite their efforts.

The chorus further emphasizes the singer's reliance on the other person, declaring, "I can't win, I can't reign, I will never win this game without you." They feel lost and incomplete without the presence of the person they desire. The repetition of "Without you" reinforces their dependence and the deep impact the other person has on their life.

The verse shifts to a more melancholic tone, with the lyrics "Love of mine, someday you will die, but I'll be close behind, I'll follow you into the dark." Here, the singer expresses a willingness to follow their loved one even in death. This line suggests a deep commitment and devotion, even in the face of mortality.

The final lines, "Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep, waging wars to shape the poet and the beat, I hope it's gonna make you notice," convey a sense of ambition and the desire to be seen. The singer hopes that their efforts to create something meaningful and significant will attract the attention and admiration of the person they long for.

Overall, "I Will Follow You Tonight" is a song that explores themes of longing, dependency, and the pursuit of love and connection. It delves into the depths of human emotions and the yearning for someone who can provide a sense of purpose and completeness.

Line by Line Meaning

I've been roamin' around, always lookin' down at all I see
I have been wandering aimlessly, constantly feeling discouraged by everything around me

Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
People with superficial appearances occupy spaces that I am unable to access or influence

You know that I could use somebody
You are aware that I need someone by my side

I have climbed highest mountains
I have overcome great challenges

I have run through the fields
I have experienced freedom and joy

Only to be with you
All my efforts were solely to be in your presence

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Yet, I have not discovered my true purpose or fulfillment

Oh Oh Oh
Expressing a sense of longing or frustration

I can't win, I can't reign
I am unable to achieve victory or establish control

I will never win this game without you
Success in this challenge is impossible without your presence

Without you
In the absence of your support or companionship

I am lost, I am vain
I feel directionless and self-centered

I will never be the same without you
My life will be forever altered without you

I won't run, I won't fly
I will not strive or venture forward

I will never make it by without you
I cannot overcome or succeed without you

I can't rest, I can't fight
I am unable to find peace or engage in battles

All I need is you and I, without you
You are the sole source of my fulfillment and strength

Love of mine, someday you will die
My beloved, one day you will pass away

But I'll be close behind, I'll follow you into the dark
Yet, I will remain devoted and accompany you even in the most challenging times

Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
While you enjoy your life to the fullest, I retreat into solitude and rest

Wagin' wars to shape the poet and the beat
Engaging in internal conflicts to create meaning and rhythm in my artistic expression

I hope it's gonna make you notice
I desire for my efforts to capture your attention and recognition

Someone like me
I aspire for someone with similar qualities and experiences as myself

I'm ready now
I am prepared and eager to take action

I will follow you into the dark
I will willingly accompany you through the difficult and challenging times

Back before these calloused hands and all this work
We used to sit up at the flats
Acting like we'd live forever
Getting high and skipping class

Yeah I reckon we were heathens
But in her eyes we were saints
Now you're calling all the boys home
Heavens angels carried her away

So I will follow you to Virgie
Although it hurts me so
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
The lord's called home
I can see her up in glory
I can see her through the pines

Back when all us boys were tryin'
To make sense of all these streams
I can see her in the corner
Singing along to all our crazy dreams

And I will follow you to Virgie
Although it hurts me so
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
The Lord's called home
I can see her up in glory
I can see her through the pines

I will follow you to Virgie
Because that's what us boys are for
To help you out when you get weary
And you can't go no more

And can't you see her up there, Cody
I can see her through the pines
Sayin' 'boys be good'

Not only does Tyler Childers make me proud to be from One of the smallest towns in Kentucky. He makes us all proud to be Kentuckians! He’s a wonderful storyteller, and as a musician myself he’s everything I aspire to be! Still watching this faithfully years later and it never gets old.

It was an amazing spiritual experience, where his voice takes you. My daddy was also a coal miner; I come from eight generations. The mountain roots run deep.

A perfect post Cheis. I’m almost ashamed to say I’m going to spend $12 to see him in a small venue next March in Detroit, when before that he’s playing two sold out shows at The Ryman.

My grandma passed February 2019 and when I was 14 15 and 16 she had a garage and she let me and my friends make it into our chill spot. She would be right out there with us laughing and enjoying life and this song really hits home because it didn’t matter when it was or if I was in trouble we always had her place

my great grandma recently passed away & this song suits her so well. every time i hear it, i immediately bawl. she would take me to the smokey mountains & teach me all about the mountains, take me on hikes to the highest peaks in the park. she loved nature. when i say this absolutely fits her, i mean it.

There are no more ties to family. If the last 2-3 yrs have taught me anything it’s that you can’t count on anyone but yourself, not even family.

When the chips are down they’ll act against your best interests, they’ll comply with tyranny and hand you over if they perceive it as the right thing to do or something that’ll make their lives easier.

In the very least they’re the ones giving the tyrants power and legitimacy with their compliance making it that much harder for the rest of us who are unwavering in our noncompliance

I'd heard of Tyler Childers in the summe, but it wasn't until hearing Feathered Indians about three weeks ago that I really got into his music. About a week and a half ago, I stumbled upon this song and while Spotify helped me out with the tunes during some house cleaning. A tough life has led me to a point where I pretty much just don't cry anymore. I'm not a cold or mean person, but I just don't seem to shed tears for much of anything anymore these days. However. by the time the song was over, I was bawling like a baby. Just the other day, during a car ride with my eight-year-old daughter and again my face was streaked with tear stains from the emotions brought on from hearing this amazingly sweet tune. My sweet daughter was crying right along with me and I knew then that this guy right here was the real deal. I'm not sure I've listened to anyone else since I came across all his stuff on Youtube that I have yet to find anywhere else and I'm not sure anyone else's voice will ever suffice for my ears. Tyler, you are amazing! Thank you for sharing your talent with us. God bless.

I work production in a warehouse that bottles beer (we bust our ass) here in San Diego and a coworker of mine sent me a link to this album. This song brought me to tears and I can testify that this man is a true poet. Thanks for opening up my mind tyler. I'll be grabbing the vinyl for this.

I live thousands of miles from home now, so music connects me to my home a lot.
