Walk With Me
The Pips Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can go over and over again and again
Another beginning
Wishing for fruit at the edge of this fountain
I hope that my money throws me all in
I'm breaking my back just tryna get it back to another beginning
I fear I see an ending near, yeah
Tryna brush it off don't do it for me
You gotta let me know that you're sorry
For everything if everything was your fault
You gotta let me know that you're sorry
Tryna brush it off don't do it for me
You gotta let me know that you're sorry
For everything if everything was your fault
You gotta let me know that you're sorry
Tryna brush it off don't do it for me
You gotta let me know that you're sorry
For everything if everything was your fault (you should be, I know)
Thinking I'll come 'round in the morning (you should be)
Maybe then I'd understand your story
Thinking I'll come 'round in the morning (no, no, no, no)
Guess again 'cause everything was your fault (everything)
Held up
Holding it against ya
Couldn't even put the sentence together
Take a back seat (no)
You don't get to ride with me
You don't get to ride with me, no (you don't get to ride)
Wait up
Not holding my breath much
Too proud to make amends with me, ah whoa
Take a back seat
You don't get to ride with me
Take a back seat
You don't get to ride, no (take a back seat)
Greatness turns into pain
In the best of a moment it's broken again
Another beginning
Sounding much better than soothing this tormented hope
Throw me all in
I'd break my back
Tryna get it back
To be a better ending
At least there's nothing else to fear
You gotta let me know that you're sorry
Tryna brush it off don't do it for me
You gotta let me know that you're sorry
For everything if everything was your fault
Thinking I'll come 'round in the morning
Maybe then I'd understand your story
Thinking I'll come 'round in the morning (everything is your fault)
Guess again 'cause everything was your fault
Held up
Holding it against ya (holding)
Couldn't even put the sentence together (ah whoa)
Take a back seat
You don't get to ride with me
You don't get to ride with me, no (take a back seat)
Wait up
Not holding my breath much
Too proud to make amends with me, ah whoa
Take a back seat (take your)
You don't get to ride with me (take your)
Take a back seat
You don't get to ride, no
You don't get to ride, no, no
You don't get to ride, no, no
You don't get to ride with me
No, no, no, no
You don't get to ride with me, no, no
The lyrics to The Pips's song "Walk with Me" convey a sense of frustration and disappointment in a relationship where the singer feels constantly let down. The opening lines, "It's like the water was never rain, we can go over and over again and again, another beginning," suggest a cycle of repeating the same mistakes and never truly progressing. The metaphor of water not turning into rain symbolizes the inability to move forward or evolve in this relationship.
The singer expresses a desire for change and growth, wishing for "fruit at the edge of this fountain," symbolizing a longing for something fruitful and fulfilling in the relationship. However, despite their efforts, they feel that they are being taken advantage of, as they mention hoping that their money will bring them closer to a fresh start.
The repetition of the phrase "You gotta let me know that you're sorry" reflects a plea for accountability and acknowledgment from the other person. The singer wants to be assured that they are sincerely sorry for their actions, rather than simply brushing off the mistakes. The repeated lines "For everything if everything was your fault" emphasize the blame being placed on the other person and the frustration with their lack of responsibility.
The song also touches on the singer's reluctance to continue investing in the relationship, as they mention "thinking I'll come 'round in the morning" but also state that "everything was your fault." This suggests a realization that the other person's actions have caused too much damage and it may be time to let go.
Overall, "Walk with Me" explores themes of dissatisfaction, unrequited apologies, and the realization that a relationship cannot thrive without mutual effort and accountability.

It feels as though the joy and excitement we once had has vanished

We can keep revisiting our mistakes and repeating the same patterns

Desiring abundance and fulfillment from a seemingly limited source
I hope that my money throws me all in
I hope that my financial investments bring me great rewards
I'm breaking my back just tryna get it back to another beginning
I'm working extremely hard to regain a fresh start
I fear I see an ending near, yeah
I'm afraid that our journey is reaching its conclusion
You gotta let me know that you're sorry

Held up
Stuck in a state of delay or obstruction
Holding it against ya
Feeling resentment and not forgiving you
Couldn't even put the sentence together
Unable to form coherent thoughts or express myself properly
Take a back seat
Step aside and relinquish control
You don't get to ride with me
You are no longer allowed to accompany me
Wait up
Don't hold your breath expecting immediate action or response
Not holding my breath much
I am not expecting or anticipating much from you
Too proud to make amends with me, ah whoa
Your arrogance prevents you from reconciling with me
Greatness turns into pain
Our once remarkable relationship has turned into anguish
In the best of a moment it's broken again
Even at its pinnacle, our bond shatters once more
Sounding much better than soothing this tormented hope
Though it may sound appealing, it doesn't alleviate this tortured hope within me
Throw me all in
Commit deeply and wholeheartedly to the situation
I'd break my back
I would tirelessly exert myself
Tryna get it back
Attempting to regain what was lost
To be a better ending
In order to achieve a more favorable outcome
At least there's nothing else to fear
At least there is no additional source of anxiety
You don't get to ride, no, no
You are not granted the privilege to be part of my journey
You don't get to ride with me, no, no
You are not allowed to accompany me on this path
