“”Around You” is, at first, a little fuzzy ball that is teenage crush. But the longer you look, you see it’s the start of a life where things are truly felt and contemplated for the first time. It’s the start of all the things that will simultaneously push and pull you in every decision you make. Confidence, but self-deprecation. Bliss, but depression. Love, but loneliness. This is the beginning of how you navigate all your dualities. This is the beginning of who you think you can be.”
Around You Lyrics :
I know this will come out wrong
Would you mind if I kept your sweater on?
Overwhelmed by the rising tide
Maybe I’ll be just fine with you on my side
Are you pulling back? Are you missing points?
Are you missing me? Are you trying to figure this out?
Are you still on the payroll?
Going over your house again
Is there more or are we just friends?
Around you, I feel it too
Are you pulling back? Are you missing points?
Are you missing me? Are you trying to grow up?
Are you pulling all your punches back?
Are you trying to figure this out?
Are you still on the payroll?
You’ve been gone all this time
But I still pretend it’s me
Going over your house again…
