Ticks
Moonlit Desires: A Romantic Escape Underneath Wildflowers
Lyrics
Every time you take a sip
Observing the act of taking a sip
In this smoky atmosphere
Describing the environment as smoky
You press that bottle to your lips
Noticing the physical action of pressing a bottle to lips
And I wish I was your beer
Expressing a desire to be the chosen beverage
In the small there of your back
Referring to the lower part of the back
Your jeans are playing peekaboo
Commenting on the playful exposure of jeans
I'd like to see the other half
Expressing interest in seeing the rest of a butterfly tattoo
Of your butterfly tattoo
Continuing the desire to explore the tattoo
Hey, that gives me an idea
Generating an idea inspired by the previous observations
Let's get out of this bar
Suggesting leaving the current location
Drive out into the country
Proposing a drive into the countryside
And find a place to park
Searching for a secluded place to stop
'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
Expressing a desire to see the person in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
Wanting to share an intimate moment in a rural setting
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
Expressing a wish to walk through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks
Introducing the idea of checking for ticks
I know the perfect little path
Referring to a familiar path in the woods
Out in these woods I used to hunt
Sharing a past experience of hunting in the woods
Don't worry babe, I've got your back
Assuring protection for the person
And I've also got your front
Playfully suggesting comprehensive protection
Now, I'd hate to waste a night like this
Expressing reluctance to waste the night
I'll keep you safe you wait and see
Promising to keep the person safe
The only thing allowed to crawl all over you
Indicating exclusivity in crawling over the person
When we get there is me
Ensuring a lighthearted tone regarding crawling
You know every guy in here tonight
Acknowledging the competition for attention
Would like to take you home
Comparing oneself favorably to others in the bar
But I've got way more class than them
Rejecting the intentions of others in the bar
Babe, that ain't what I want
Stating a desire beyond mere physical attraction
'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
Reiterating the desire to see the person in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
Repeating the wish for an intimate moment in a rural setting
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
Reiterating the desire to walk through wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks
Reiterating the playful intention of checking for ticks
You never know where one might be
Highlighting the unpredictability of tick locations
There's lots of places that are hard to reach
Emphasizing the difficulty of reaching certain places
I gotcha
Expressing assurance of protection
I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
Reiterating the desire to see the person in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you, baby, way back in the sticks
Repeating the wish for an intimate moment in a rural setting
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
Reiterating the desire to walk through wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks
Reiterating the playful intention of checking for ticks
Oh, I'd sure like to check you for ticks
Expressing the strong desire to check for ticks
