Tennis Shoes
Lost in Tennessee: A Melodic Tale of Love and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I'm so tired, take another drink
I feel exhausted, so I'll have another drink.
It's so loud with this liquid gold telling me what to think
The noise, possibly from alcohol ("liquid gold"), is influencing my thoughts.
I'm hypnotised by the missing link
I am captivated or entranced by something important that is missing.
And maybe I'm out of touch like Felix was out of sync
Maybe I'm disconnected, akin to Felix being out of sync.
"Lost in Tennessee"
Reference to being lost in Tennessee.
Honey I can't disagree
I cannot disagree that I am lost in Tennessee with someone ("Honey").
Straight like she would be
Describing someone as straightforward or honest ("Straight like she would be").
Lately I can't escape her so taste and see
Recently, I can't avoid being influenced by her; try and experience it for yourself.
Playing Alewife, singing out of tune
Performing at Alewife, singing off-key.
Oh but damn you look good in your brand new white tennis shoes
Despite flaws, acknowledging that the person looks good in new white tennis shoes.
Living your life like an open wound
Living life vulnerably or exposed.
And why do I deserve a future when all I've done is hope for you?
Questioning why a future is deserved when all efforts have been for someone else.
"Lost in Tennessee"
Reiteration of being lost in Tennessee with someone ("Honey").
Honey I can't disagree
Acknowledging agreement with being lost in Tennessee.
Straight like she would be
Describing someone as honest or straightforward ("Straight like she would be").
Know that I can't escape you so taste and see
Acknowledging inability to escape someone; try and experience it for yourself.
And that I'm hooked on your lips unmistakably
Expressing a strong attraction to someone's lips.
And now the part where I tell her how he's not me
Addressing the inevitable comparison with someone else.
(Lost in Tennessee)
Reiteration of being lost in Tennessee with someone ("Honey").
(Ooh)
Exclamation or expression, possibly emotional ("Ooh").
(Straight like she would be)
Reaffirmation of someone being straightforward or honest.
Know that I can't escape you so taste and see
Repeated acknowledgment of inability to escape someone; try and experience it for yourself.
Oh how I wish I could show her that he's not me
Expressing a desire to demonstrate that someone else is not like me.
