Edward Sharpe %26 the Magnetic Zeros Lyrics

Alabama, Arkansas
I love my home and family, but I love you more.

I do love my Ma and Pa.
I have love and respect for my family.

But not the way that I do love you.
However, I love you in a different and deeper way.

Well, holy moly, me oh my
An expression of surprise and delight.

You're the apple of my eye
You are the most important person in my life.

Girl, I've never loved one like you
I have never loved anyone as deeply as I love you.

Man, oh man, you're my best friend
You are my closest and most trusted companion.

I scream it to the nothingness
I shout out my feelings even if there's no one to hear.

There ain't nothin' that I need
As long as I have you, I am content and fulfilled.

Well, hot and heavy pumpkin pie
An expression of appreciation and enjoyment.

Chocolate candy, Jesus Christ
Metaphors for pleasure and happiness.

There ain't nothin' please me more than you
Nothing makes me happier than being with you.

Oh home, let me come home
A desire to be with the one I love.

Home is wherever I'm with you
As long as I'm with you, I feel at home.

Lalalala, take me home
A wordless expression of longing and desire.

Momma, I'm coming home
A figurative expression of returning to the one I love.

I'll follow you into the park
I will be by your side no matter what.

Through the jungle, through the dark
Together, we can overcome any obstacle or challenge.

Moats and boats, and waterfalls
Metaphors for adventure and exploration.

Alleyways and payphone calls
Metaphors for everyday moments shared with the one I love.

I've been everywhere with you
We have shared many experiences together.

(hey!) (That's true)
An acknowledgement of the truth of the previous statement.

Laugh until we think we'll die (we'll die!)
We experience joy and happiness together to the point of exhaustion.

Barefoot on a summer night (summer night!)
A metaphor for carefree and happy times shared together.

Never could be sweeter than with you
Life is always better and more enjoyable with you.

And in the streets we're running free
We live life to the fullest, unrestricted and enjoying every moment.

Like it's only you and me
We are in our own world of happiness and love.

Geez, you're somethin' to see
An expression of admiration and affection.

Home, yes I am home
A declaration that being with you is where I belong.

Home is when I'm alone with you
Being with you is where I feel most comfortable and loved.

"Jade..." "Alexander..."

"Do you remember that?"
A confirmation of the memory.

"Well, there's something I never told you about that night."
