drag someone round?
Hello everyone,
in The National's song "Without permission" there is one sentence I can't figure it out.
I'll put a fragment:
"Oh I've come to know
You had to go without permission
Cause it was how, how I wore you down
And how I dragged you round my sole ambition"
What could be the meaning of I dragged you round my sole ambition in that context.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions
