My head is haunting me and my heart feels like a ghost
I need to feel something, 'cause I'm still so far from home
Cross your heart and hope to die
Promise me you'll never leave my side
Show me what I can't see when the spark in my eyes is gone
You got me on my knees, I'm your one-man cult
Cross my heart and hope to die
Promise you I'll never leave your side
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm telling you, you're all I need
I promise you, you're all I see
'Cause I'm telling you, you're all I need
I'll never leave
[Chorus]
So, you can drag me through hell
If it meant I could hold your hand
I will follow you, 'cause I'm under your spell
And you can throw me to the flames
I will follow you, I will follow you
[Verse 2]
Come sink into me and let me breathe you in
I'll be your gravity, you be my oxygen
So dig two graves, 'cause when you die
I swear I'll be leaving by your side
So you can drag me through hell
If it meant I could hold your hand
I will follow you, 'cause I'm under your spell
And you can throw me to the flames
I will follow you so you can drag me through hell
If it meant I could hold your hand
I will follow you, 'cause I'm under your spell
And you can throw me to the flames
I will follow you, I will follow you
I will follow you, I will follow you
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
So you can drag me through hell
If it meant I could hold your hand
I will follow you, 'cause I'm under your spell
And you can throw me to the flames
I will follow you, I will follow you
About
“Follow You” has been acclaimed as the most romantic song by the band, as it is basically a love letter to band members' wives. Musically, the track features a heartbeat sound surrounded by handclaps, synths, and layered vocals.
Jordan [Fish, keyboards] and I wrote this while we were writing “Drown.” I love how, when it starts, it’s like, “Right, how is this going to be a Bring Me The Horizon song?” And even though it’s not like any song you’ve heard from us before, it all makes sense.
Also, Oli explained through Twitter, the connection between the music video and the song:
So, that explains why in the video, the character is roaming the streets calmly as a zombie apocalypse is underway.

Lyrically, it comes from me and my other half were going through a particular rough patch where things weren’t looking too good and it gets to a certain point. And when it got to that certain point like “this fucking sucks and I don’t really want to do this anymore,” that’s when you have that realizations. I realized no matter how bad being together can sometimes get, the alternative is so much worse. It’s one of those beautiful realizations that can only come from something really ugly.
