Go With You
Toro y Moi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know how
How we're gonna get out
But I'm not scared
Of getting point to point

And I won't care
Leaving everyone behind
Cause I've got them all

Leaving with me in my mind

You know I can't do everything that is best for us
Leaving our home, let us grow, then I'll go with you
Then I'll go with you
Then I'll go with you

You know I'll be alright
With whatever it is
Our choices aren't too bad
It's the distance

I know I push it over
And I'm sorry for that

I don't mean to make this hurt
When we haven't started yet

I don't know how
Uncertain about the situation

How we're gonna get out
Unsure of how to proceed

But I'm not scared
Not afraid to face the challenge

Not worried about leaving others behind

Leaving everyone behind
Leaving others in pursuit of our goals

Carrying their memory with us

Leaving with me in my mind
Not forgetting those who matter

You know I can't do everything that is best for us
Acknowledge the limitations

Leaving our home, let us grow, then I'll go with you
Willingness to move on and grow

Then I'll go with you
