The song "Around U" by Ellie Goulding is about longing to be with someone and wanting to be their priority. The lyrics express the desire to spend time with this person and the frustration of only seeing them occasionally. The singer describes feeling delirious and serious when looking into the person's eyes, indicating a strong attraction and connection. They compare their attachment to glue, highlighting their desire to stick close to the person. Despite their infrequent meetings, the singer believes that they could have a great relationship if given the chance. They mention how before meeting this person, they were cynical, but now they see them as cool. The chorus repeats the longing to be around the person and asks if it's too much to ask for. The singer pleads for the person to not tell them they're wrong because they could be there for them. In the bridge, the singer expresses the willingness to be there for the person if they let them in. They are tired of going through meaningless experiences and believe that the person's love can provide meaning and direction in their life. The lyrics then emphasize the strong feelings the singer has for the person and their certainty that the person has been thinking about them as well. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus, expressing the longing to be with the person and the belief that their love will take them somewhere.
