‘Walking After You’ was written by Foo Fighters singer/guitarist Dave Grohl just after he received divorce paperwork from his first wife. Dave Grohl describes the song as emotional, and even though it is about getting rejected from someone you love it could also be about reluctance to accept that someone you love has passed away.
Lyrics
Tonight I’m tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Dreaming aloud
Things just won’t do without you, matter of fact
Oh oh ooh
I’m on your back
I’m on your back
Oh oh ooh
I’m on your back
Oh oh ooh
I’m on your back
I’m on your back
Oh oh ooh
I’m on your back
If you’d accept surrender, I’ll give up some more
Weren’t you adored
Weren’t you adored
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
Oh oh ooh
I’m on your back
Oh oh ooh
I’m on your back
If you walk out on me
I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me
I’m walking after you
I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me
I’m walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two
I’m on your back
I’m on your back
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
Oh oh ooh
I’m on your back
I’m on your back
Oh oh ooh
I’m on your back
Oh oh ooh
I’m on your back
I’m on your back
Oh oh ooh
I’m on your back
If you walk out on me
I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me
I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me
I’m walking after you
I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me
I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me
I’m walking after you
