I'll Be Around
Echoes of Longing: Yo La Tengo's Enchanting Musical Quest
Lyrics
When I stare into space
Contemplating deeply or daydreaming
I'm looking for you
Searching for a specific person
And I can see you
Successfully locating and observing the person
At times
Occurring intermittently
I'll be around
Expressing availability or commitment to be present
To pick up your phone
Being ready to answer or respond when called
I'll be around
Reaffirmation of commitment to be available
See the kaleidoscope girl
Observing a person with a vibrant and changing personality
In the doorway
Seeing a dynamic and captivating individual in a specific location
She's looking my way
Receiving attention or interest from the individual
At times
Occurrences happening intermittently
I'll be around
Reiterating the commitment to be available
Pick up your phone
Being prepared to answer or respond to a call
I'll be around
Reaffirming the commitment to be present and accessible
Washing the dirt from your face
Engaged in a cleansing or purifying activity for someone
I'm looking for you
Searching for the same person as mentioned in line 2
And I still miss you
Feeling a sense of longing or nostalgia for the person
At times
Occurrences happening intermittently
I'll be around
Reiterating the commitment to be available
To pick up your phone
Being ready to answer or respond when called
I'll be around
Reaffirmation of commitment to be available
