Follow Me
Transit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Abroad adventure with a few close friends
Took an eight hour flight over the Atlantic Ocean
Jetlagged and lovesick for days on end
Wrapped up in the music we sang and we sang

Follow me, into the night, why even ask why?
Follow me, just for the night, why even ask why?
Why don't we just try? Why even ask why?

Met this beautiful girl, she loved to pretend
And joke about the future we'd never spend
Pulling at my heartstrings, she played and she wins
This is my love song this is how it ends

Follow me, into the night, why even ask why?
Follow me, just for the night, why even ask why?
Why don't we just try? Why even ask why?

Looking for love like it ever gets easy
Heard you were lonely enough to stay with me
Go if you want to be lovesick and lonely
I'll be waiting on you
You're holding your drink like it's killing you slowly
Holding a smile like I don't know the story
Go if you want to be lovesick and lonely
I'll be waiting on you

Diana, you're history ain't much a mystery
Buried your worries in bruises and bed sheets
Go if you want to be lovesick and lonely
I'll be waiting on you, come on and tell me the truth
The story unfolds with the lies that you told me
Love is a dream; I'm waking up slowly
Go if you want to be lovesick and lonely
I'll be waiting on you, I'll be waiting til' you say goodbye

Follow me, into the night, why even ask why?
Follow me, just for the night, why even ask why?
Why don't we just try? Why even ask why?

Our long distant love turned to long distant friends
As I flew back home alone again




Don't talk about the future cause it's nothing we can spend
This is my love song this is how it ends

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Transit's song Follow Me detail a trip abroad with a group of friends. The singer describes the jet lag and the experience of being lovesick while on the trip. The group finds solace in the music they sing together. The chorus of the song "Follow me, into the night, why even ask why? Follow me, just for the night, why even ask why?" invites the listener to join the singer and his friends without questioning why.


The lyrics then shift to the story of the singer's encounter with a beautiful girl who plays with his emotions. He sings of the difficulty of searching for love and how lonely it can be. He implores the girl to tell him the truth and expresses his willingness to wait for her if she decides to leave. The final verses of the song reveal that the trip did not lead to a lasting love, but rather a distant friendship. The singer's message is that love can be fleeting and fragile, and we must be willing to accept its impermanence.
