Southern
Annie Eve Lyrics

On the sheets of a mattress bed
The relationship was very physical and sexual.

Flower pot filled with cigarettes
The environment was not healthy and there was a lack of care for oneself.

And his head resting on my chest
There was comfort in their physical closeness.

Heavy breaths, I knew your kind
The artist was familiar with her partner's tendencies and traits.

And the ivy covered wall outside
The surroundings were picturesque and visually pleasing.

And the way he told me how things were
Her partner was very straightforward and honest with her.

Never had to guess a single thing
There was never any confusion or doubt in the relationship.

But with him, he was always around
The artist's partner was always present and attentive.

With me
The relationship was mutually satisfying and comforting.

But I never got bored with you
Despite the routine of their relationship, the artist never lost interest in her partner's company.

I never got bored of life
The singer found joy and contentment in her day-to-day existence.

And I never got tired with you
The artist's love for her partner never waned or became exhausting.

I never got tired of life
The singer maintained a positive outlook on life.

And I often think of how things were
The singer is nostalgic for the past and reminisces frequently.

While I work behind the bar at night
The singer occupies herself with a job that keeps her busy during night hours.

And I think of him the whole damn time
The artist's thoughts are always occupied with memories of her partner.

Sipping wine won't change our bind
Alcohol won't change the unbreakable bond between the artist and her partner.

Like a boat, your room floats in my mind
The room where they spent a lot of their time together is vivid in the singer's memory.

On the ocean of my memory's eye
The memory is vast and encompasses much of her past experiences.

And your body is what I've confined
The physical connection between the artist and her partner is something she holds onto in her memory.

In the dark, I went there blind
The artist remembers their physical connection in a hazy way, as if it happened in darkness.

'Oh,' I sigh
The artist has a longing, wistful tone in this moment.

But I never got bored with you

I never got bored of lies
The artist may be in denial or ignoring the difficult parts of their relationship.

And I never got tired with you

I never got tired of lies
The singer points again to the possibility that she is in denial.

So, I work in the bar now three times a week
The singer has a new job working in a bar.

And I'm with his best friend
The artist is now romantically involved with her previous partner's best friend.

But we hardly speak
Despite their intimate connection, they don't have much to say to each other.

And it's hard to find friends
The singer seems to struggle with making connections and building relationships.

In this town of mine
The singer lives in a small town which may limit her ability to find new people and relationships.

Oh, love
The artist addresses her former partner with an affectionate term.

Please don't feel like you have to go

You can stay, here

And hold me from behind, fully dressed

Just so I, can try and forgive myself

For making you wait so long
The singer believes that she may have waited too long to try and repair her relationship with her partner.
