Follow You
Thief Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ride out bikes to Sheman Park
Football stars of our back yard
And even though Greer's has been gone for years,
we bought our basketball cards there
On the corner of Sprice and Fair,
Woody's Market still sits there
As it was when we rode the bus,
And it felt so right, you and me against the world
Even if you're looking for trouble
Trouble's best to find before it finds you
Even if you're jumping from bridges, I'm jumping too
I'll follow you
I rememeer 611, Chestnut Avenue,
and the long walk home from Bridgeview
The Big Four Bridge, we always said
Someday we'd walk on top of it
We never did we grew up instead
Dayton bound, windown down,
Snow coming in, and the speakers blowing out
And it felt so right, sneaking out late and dodging headlights
And it felt so right, you and me agains the world
Even if you're looking for trouble
Trouble's best to find befire you finds you
Even if you're jumping from bridges, I'm jumping too
I'll follow you
Like steel and rust left to the weather,
we were dangerous working together
I remember how we held it down in this town
The lyrics to Thief Club's "Follow You" capture a nostalgic moment in time, a time where everything felt like it was going to last forever. The song begins by taking us back to the beginning, to where the friendship began. The singer reminisces about riding their bikes to Sheman Park and playing football in their backyard. They also remember buying basketball cards at Greer's, which has now been gone for years. However, Woody's Market still stands where it was when they used to ride the bus together. The singer recalls sneaking out late and dodging headlights, feeling like it was the right thing to do. The sentiment of the entire song speaks of being young and reckless when you're with the person you love, feeling invincible against the world.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Even if you're looking for trouble, Trouble's best to find before it finds you," followed by "Even if you're jumping from bridges, I'm jumping too. I'll follow you." This phrase captures the essence of the song. It speaks of being loyal to someone despite the risks, even if it means jumping off a bridge. The bridge mentioned throughout the song is the Big Four Bridge, which they always talked about walking on top of, but never did. The song ends with the singer reminiscing about their friendship, how they worked together and held it down in their town.

Take it back to start
Let's start again from the beginning
Ride out bikes to Sheman Park
We used to ride our bikes to Sherman Park
Football stars of our back yard
We were good at playing football in our backyard
And even though Greer's has been gone for years,
we bought our basketball cards there
Greer's has closed down, but we still have memories of buying basketball cards there
On the corner of Sprice and Fair,
Woody's Market still sits there
Woody's Market is still at its original location on the corner of Sprice and Fair
As it was when we rode the bus,
And it felt so right, sneaking out late and dodging headlights
The market is still the same as when we used to ride the bus, and sneaking out late and avoiding being seen felt thrilling
And it felt so right, you and me against the world
Being together against all odds and challenges felt right
Even if you're looking for trouble
Trouble's best to find before it finds you
If you're going to seek out trouble, it's better to do it intentionally, rather than wait for it to find you
Even if you're jumping from bridges, I'm jumping too
I'll follow you
Even if you're doing something dangerous or foolish, I'll support you and follow you
I rememeer 611, Chestnut Avenue,
and the long walk home from Bridgeview
I remember the street address and a long walk home
The Big Four Bridge, we always said
Someday we'd walk on top of it
We never did we grew up instead
We used to talk about walking on top of the Big Four Bridge, but as we grew older, we never did it
Dayton bound, windown down,
Snow coming in, and the speakers blowing out
We were driving to Dayton, with the window down and the artists blasting music despite the snow
Like steel and rust left to the weather,
we were dangerous working together
Similar to rusted steel left to weather, we were a risky team working together
I remember how we held it down in this town
I remember how we dominated in this town
