Around

NIKI
You love me with your bones
You hold me when I'm broke
You don't ask for a thing
Oh, I hope it's you they put me in the ground by
Know where I've been, where I'm from
You know who took me to prom
You've watched as my legs and pride grew taller
Oh, I wanna be the one you call drunk
Oh, I know that we march to the beat of different drums
We're still so damn young
In and out of believing in love
What the fuck's love?
All I know is love
When push comes to shove
I'll be the one a
Round and round we go
So much I don't know
But even though this ain't pretty and simple
Like a bed of roses
'Least I know my hope is
That you stick around 'til the end
'Cause you're my best friend
You cut me, I bleed gold
I miss you though you're cold
You're inside a different soul when I'm not around
But that's ok, I do the same
Oh we're in a maze with no end
But I'm amazed to no end
Darling, we don't ever have to pretend
Who knows what or who we choose
Right now I've nothing to lose
You love me, I love you

The meaning: so basically this song kinda a sad song, this song written for 16 year old’s NIKI who hasnn’t
know about what love is. Although her past souls are trying to help her, she still has no idea of where
she is going, because she is in a “maze” and wandering Around. Every time she says “Darling” she
follows up with a “We” or a “Let’s” signifying that she is with someone but in this case, NIKI is talking to
herself. She wants to tell herself that she doesn’t have to act like they know what is going on because
they have no reason to.
