Discover the story of the song > If You Insist – Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

The protagonist is offering their support to someone who seems lonely and wants to be alone. They offer to keep them company and talk about simple things, or even give them advice on where to shop. The protagonist acknowledges that the person may be looking for something more exciting or intense in their life, but also mentions that sometimes it's okay to just let things be as they are. They reassure the person that they don't need to give out personal information or get too involved if they don't want to, and if they insist on being lonely, the protagonist will give them space.
