I was there
When you shone as bright as Bethlehem from afar
I was there
When you were young and strong and perverted
And everything that makes a young man a star
Oh, you were a star

I was there
And I swear to God and on my mother's grave
On everything I have or ever will embrace
I was there
And I saw it with my own two eyes

And now it's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
And now it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle

Do, do, do, do, do, do

I was there
Come on, tell me I wasn't worth stickin' it out for
Well, I was there
And I know I was worth it, 'cause if I wasn't worth it
That makes me worse off than you are

It's all around me, it's all around me
I'm surrounded
You know it's all around me, it's all around me
You surround me like a circle

But don't you lose
Sight of me now
Don't you lose
Sight of me now

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Don't lose sight of me now

'Cause I was there
When they dropped the bomb
You know I remember the bomb
And I still hear the bomb
And I still fight the bomb
You know I still fear the bomb
You know I still hate the bomb
Sometimes I still get the call

So don't you lose sight of me now
Don't you lose sight of me now

You know you're all around me (don't you lose)
You're all around me
I'm surrounded (sight of me now)
You know you're all around me (Don't you lose )
You're all around me

I'm surrounded (sight of me now)
You know you're all around me (don't you lose)
You're all around me
I'm surrounded (Sight of me now)
Now it's all around me (don't you lose)
You're all around me
You surround me like a circle

I'm surrounded, oh

Ah, ah, like a circle around me

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

All around me now

Oh

    This song is about a girl and a boy that have known each other ever since they can remember. It is definitely from the girl's point of view and when she says "you surround me like a circle" she is speaking of the confusion she feels about how close they are how she doesnt know where she begins and he ends. When she talks about how she was "worth it" and the so called "bomb"... I think the bomb is when she finds out that he doesnt feel the same way about her as she does for him even though she was always there for him. And through it all she still loves him and always will.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
