Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I, haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet

[Chorus]
So, since you wanna be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
You to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through

These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I'm holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it
You're so hypnotic on my heart

[Chorus]

The words you say to me are unlike anything
That's ever been said
oh what you do to me is unlike anything
That's ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart

So since you wanna be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
you to stick around
I'll see you everyday

So since you wanna be with me
You'll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
you to stick around
I'll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You're gonna have to follow

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?

    My Interpretation:This is one of the most hopeful songs that I know, one of the few that I can actually relate to, and every time I hear it, it simply puts me in the best of moods. It's one of those songs that inexplicably say, "Hey, if you really want to love me, keep your promises." Especially in the lyric "You're so hypnotic on my heart," you can most certainly relate to the way that that one person makes you feel when they make a promise that you want to believe that they'll keep. This song's about reminding them to keep it! It's pretty simple. (:

    General Comment:In any relationship you have to Meet the other person half way. Love can't just be told or understood. It has to be expressed, acted upon and demonstarted equally by both parts involved. The person singing is more matured and experienced than the one listening. Gavin does a great job putting this ideas in a kind, loving way. Great Love Song!!

    General Comment:I think this song is about a new relationship, and the guy is feeling strong for the girl and he wants her to be there by his side as he will for her.

    I love Gavin DeGraw's songs!!

    General Comment:i think everybody's pretty much right on here, and i really like this song as well. it just kind of has a warmth to it.. and obviously, following through with your partner is an important part of a relationship. im always joyful when this song comes on the radio, not that i couldnt just listen to it on the CD.. =]]

    General Comment:THIS SONG is awesome....I think its describing the beginning of a relationship..because it could be the start of something good but it can ultimately end in destruction if people dont give it there all....I think this song is so heartfelt and its beauty amazes me for i would die if someone sang this song to me.
