Justin Furstenfeld debuted an acoustic version of the song during his 2019 Open Book Tour, and Blue October’s fall 2019 tour was named after the song. It was the first song from the band’s 10th studio album to be heard by fans. Furstenfeld later described the story of this song:
where loyalty, love...
[Verse 1]
I could sit here on this fake-ass throne
Licking every single bone I own
But that won’t get me nowhere near the truth
‘Cause the only thing I wanna be is next to you, my love
You’re a shotgun shot in the dark, you’re the property mark
The flash of a spark, the gold-yellow chrome
Well, my daddy told me, “son, always tell the truth”
‘Cause the only thing I wanna be is next to you, my love
[Chorus]
I said where you go, I will follow
Where you go, I will follow
I will follow you
Where you go, I’m going too
I will follow you
Where you go I’m going too
[Verse 2]
Well, last month hurt, and I hold it dear
But I swear to God, it’s gonna be our year
I could tell you all the shit I did in my past
But, baby girl, it’s nothing you’re gonna wanna hear
So I release this anger built inside
And now I won’t go wide anymore
Well, my daddy told me, “son, always tell the truth”
Well, the only thing I wanna be is good for you, my love
[Chorus]
I said where you go, I will follow
Where you go, I will follow
I will follow you
Where you go, I’m going too
I will follow you
Where you go, I’m going too
[Bridge]
Well, the almost-were’s
And the could’ve-been’s
They ain’t welcome, no, they don’t live around here
But like two separate islands
And we stare through the silence
You ain’t welcome if you don’t live around here
Said you ain’t welcome if you don’t live around here
[Verse]
Well, cross my heart, I know it’s true
You be loyal to me, so I‘ll be loyal to you
And with every Hell we might walk through
With this, I pledge my soul to you
[Chorus]
I said where you go, I will follow
Where you go, I will follow
I will follow you
Where you go, I’m going too
I said I will follow you
‘Cause where you go, I’m going too
I will follow you
