In a 2008 Radio Session on WFMU, New York, Herring introduced this song by saying:
This song is about following that thing and that person you love anywhere they go.
First featured in Future Islands' "Little Advances" EP (2006), its Pangea version was recorded during the Pangea recording sessions...
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
I don't wanna know my face
I don't wanna know my name
I'll just follow you
And I'll find everything you do
I don't want to go back home
I don't want to be my own
But if you ran away
I'd be beside you all the way
[Chorus 2x]
Take me away
Take me away
I follow you
I don't want to go back home
I don't want to be my own
But if you ran away
I'd be behind you all the way
And I don't want to see my mom
And I don't want to see my dad
I just wanna see your face
That would make me so happy
Be so glad
Take me away
I'll follow you
I'll follow you anywhere
Take me away
Take me away
I'll follow you
I'll follow you anywhere
Take me away
Take me away
I'll follow you
C'mon baby
I'll follow you anywhere
Take me away
Take me away
I'll follow you
I'll follow you anywhere

William Cashion:) This song was recorded in spring 2006 but wasn’t officially released until last summer on a split 7″ put out by Durham, NC’s 307 Knox Records. I got fired from my job during these recording sessions because I was taking so much time off to record. I was working at a grocery store...
