Sweet
Annie Lyrics

There's a place that's strange
An unknown location that feels peculiar or unusual.

Where everybody knows my name
Despite the unfamiliarity of the place, everyone there recognizes or is familiar with me as a person, perhaps indicating a sense of belonging.

And they dance in different ways
The people in this place are unique in how they express themselves, and perhaps enjoy their own way of doing things.

And everybody knows my name
An emphasized repetition to highlight the recognition and familiarity between me and the people in this strange place.

There's a place that's cool
Another type of location, but with a different atmosphere; this place is interesting, trendy or fashionable.

Where people go to break the rules
A place where those present actively defy or rebel against traditional norms, values or expectations.

And I know I can't refuse
I feel compelled or drawn to go to this place, even though I know it defies common sense or reason.

'Cause people wanna break the rules
Others who frequent this place share the same tendency towards non-conformity, and reinforce its appeal.

Sweet little things we keep untold, truly
Possibly referencing secrets or intimate details about oneself or a relationship that one chooses to keep private or not disclose to others.

I feel it shakin', take control
A feeling of something internally resonating or causing excitement, but with a desire to maintain control of the situation.

Take me to me
A desire to fully embrace or express one's true self and be taken to a place where one can do so.

Far and away, I'm straight up
A sense of distance or detachment from one's surroundings but with a clear and honest approach to one's actions or words.

I go the whole way
A commitment to follow through fully with one's intentions or desires, without holding back.

You want to stay boy, checking out on me
A male figure who may be hesitant or uncertain about forming a closer relationship, showing a lack of commitment or investment.

Far and away, I wake up
An awakening or realization of one's true thoughts or feelings, from a distance or after a period of separation.

I go the whole way
A reiteration of commitment and determination to fully embrace one's desires or pursue a relationship without hesitation.

You want to stay boy, stepping out with me
A change in the male figure's attitude, now showing an interest in pursuing a relationship together and stepping out of his comfort zone.
