Lyrics
Hey Anna Lena
Addressing Anna Lena
Let's get married
Expressing a desire to marry
Let's get outta this place
Wishing to leave the current location
Just take what you can carry
Suggesting taking essentials only
I got the pink lilo
Referring to a pink inflatable mattress
Won't need much where we're going
Implying not needing many possessions
Can I get a witness?
Asking for validation or support
Let's take your sister
Inviting Anna Lena's sister along
And let's go
Suggesting immediate departure
Hey Anna Lena
Reiterating addressing Anna Lena
For richer or poorer
Mentioning commitment through ups and downs
May the force be with you
Referencing a phrase from "Star Wars" for luck
Because you're worth it
Expressing Anna Lena's value
We leave at first light
Planning to depart early in the morning
When the house is all quiet
Leaving while others are sleeping
Just act casual
Advising to act nonchalant
Like you do this all the time
Implying familiarity with leaving
Oh-oh, 5-0
Reference to a possible police presence
Hey Anna Lena
Addressing Anna Lena again
Between me and you
Stating exclusivity between them
There's only so much
Limiting Popeye's ability to help
Popeye can do
Teasing about using Popeye's advice
To teach you how
Alluding to learning about relationships
To win the girl of your dreams
Mentioning the need to face challenges
Beat up the bad guy
Encouraging bravery and resilience
And eat your greens
Emphasizing healthy habits metaphorically
Hey Anna Lena
Reiterating addressing Anna Lena
I think that I know
Indicating familiarity or understanding
The Hills where your life rose
Referring to significant locations in Anna Lena's life
The Hills where your life rose
Repeating reference to important places
I may be only
Claiming awareness despite young age
Five years old
Reiterating age and claimed understanding
But I think that I know
Claiming awareness of life's progression
The Sea where it goes
Asserting knowledge of life's destination
