Know My Way Around
lily rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know my way around my hometown
I know every back road and red light
Where to get a fake ID
And who to call for some weed
And where the cops like to sit and hide

Know my way around a bar stool
I′ve had a sip of every bottle up on that shelf
And how to have a night full of shots
And a few on the rocks
And still walk all by myself

But ever since you walked in
Only thing that I've been thinkin′ 'bout is my next move
Then we got to talkin'
Told me that you′re single
Baby, that′s some damn good news
Yeah, the night's still young
And I got nothin′ else to do
Except maybe catch a buzz
Maybe fall in love
Baby, you can choose
I just wanna know my way around you

I know my way around a guitar
Yeah, over there's the stage that I just came off
And if you come back to mine
Just say a song that you like
And I will play it for you all night long

Ever since you walked in
Only thing that I′ve been thinkin' ′bout is my next move
Then we got to talkin'
Told me that you're single
Baby, that′s some damn good news
Yeah, the night′s still young
And I got nothin' else to do
Except maybe catch a buzz
Maybe fall in love
Baby, you can choose
I just wanna know my way around you
I just wanna know my way around you, yeah

′Cause ever since you walked in
Only thing that I've been thinkin′ 'bout is my next move
Then we got to talkin′
Told me that you're single
Baby, that's some damn good news

′Cause ever since you walked in
Only thing that I′ve been thinkin' ′bout is my next move
Then we got to talkin'
Told me that you′re single
Baby, that's some damn good news
Yeah, the night′s still young
And I got nothin' else to do
Except maybe catch a buzz
Maybe fall in love
Baby, you can choose
I just wanna know my way around you
I just wanna know my way around you, yeah

Overall Meaning

Lily Rose's song "Know My Way Around" is a country-pop track about a confident and adventurous protagonist who boasts about knowing everything in her hometown, from the back roads to where to get a fake ID and weed. The song's protagonist has an intimate knowledge of her town's secrets, including where the police like to sit and hide. She also knows her way around a bar stool, having tasted all the different kinds of alcohol available, from bottles of shots to whiskey on the rocks. Despite her knowledge and experience, the singer becomes fascinated with a stranger when she meets him in the bar. Consequently, she forgets everything she knows and becomes obsessed with getting to know him better.


The singer's desire for the stranger overshadows everything she has previously known. She just wants to know everything about him, including his favorite songs on the guitar.

The singer is ready to put aside her past and learn about everything new that life has to offer, including falling in love with this person. The song's chorus urges the stranger to choose: to fall in love with her or not.
