Outlaw
Desert Love: A Tale of Outlaw Hearts
Lyrics
He's a desert drifting
Describing a man who wanders through the desert.
Whiskey sipping
Enjoying whiskey as he roams.
Man with turquoise eyes
His defining feature is his striking turquoise eyes.
Tattooed knuckles
His knuckles are adorned with tattoos.
A brass belt buckle and a pistol on his side
Wearing a brass belt buckle and carrying a gun.
Oh he's really been through it
He has faced significant challenges.
He's got the scars to prove it
He bears physical scars as evidence of his struggles.
He wears his heart on his sleeve
He openly displays his emotions.
In tattooed ink of red and black
His emotions are permanently marked on his skin.
He's been walking through miles of desert heat
Endured a long journey through a harsh environment.
Through hell and back
Experienced extremely difficult situations.
Lord, he's really been through it
Reiterating the depth of his hardships.
He's got the scars to prove it
Continued emphasis on physical scars as proof of his challenges.
And it should be a crime to love him this much
Expressing that loving him intensely feels almost unlawful.
I'm an outlaw inside my own dreams
The singer feels like an outlaw within their own dreams.
A crime to love him this much
Repetition of the intensity of loving this man.
That's the only crime to ever set me free
Emphasizing that loving him intensely is the only thing that sets the singer free.
To ever set me free
Reiteration of the idea that loving intensely provides freedom.
(Ooo)
Vocalization to express emotion.
I was in stagnant waters up to my knees
Feeling stuck in a situation that's slowly consuming.
Rising high so I couldn't see
Being overwhelmed, unable to see clearly.
I never wanted to ask you to save me
The singer hesitated to ask for help.
But you jumped in the water
Despite not asking, the man willingly assisted.
And swam with me, baby
He actively participated in overcoming the difficulties.
(Ooo)
Expressive vocalization for emotion.
And it should be a crime to love him this much
Reiterating the feeling of loving him intensely being almost unlawful.
I'm an outlaw inside my own dreams
Continuation of feeling like an outlaw within one's dreams.
For three years I've been running from
The singer has been avoiding something or someone for three years.
Whatever was calling and it was him after me
Realizing it's the man they've been avoiding.
It was him after me
Reiteration that he's the one the singer has been evading.
(Ooo)
Expressive vocalization for emotion.
A tattered soul like me
Comparing themselves to a worn-out soul with a lengthy journey.
Has been on this road for centuries
Suggesting a feeling of having been on this difficult road for centuries.
I lost all faith that I'd ever find home
Lost hope in finding a sense of belonging.
But in his arms, I'm grounded
Feels secure and anchored when embraced by the man.
This loves got me surrounded
Love has created a protective enclosure around the singer.
No matter where I go I know I'm home
No matter where they go, being with him feels like home.
And it should be a crime to love him this much
Emphasizing the almost unlawful intensity of love.
I'm an outlaw inside my own dreams
Feeling like an outlaw within one's own dreams due to the intensity of love.
A crime to love him this much
Repeated expression of the intensity of loving the man.
That's the only crime to ever set me free
Reiterating that loving intensely is what sets the singer free.
To ever set me free
Reiteration of the idea that intense love provides freedom.
(Ooo)
Vocalization to express emotion.
