Lyrics
People you know try to tell you things
People known to you share unpleasant information.
Bad things that you don't want to know about
Details about negative things that you'd rather not be aware of.
Tell you tomorrow what you did today
Information about your actions will be revealed tomorrow.
Just remember, it's a small town
Emphasizing the small-town nature, where gossip spreads quickly.
It's a real small town
Reiterating the small size of the town.
She gets tired of all the stupid boys
A girl is tired of immature boys and desires a patient man.
She can't wait until they're done
She looks forward to their departure.
She wants a man who can take his time
Desire for a partner who takes their time.
She wants someone who can make her come
Seeking a partner who can satisfy her sexually.
Yeah, can you make me come
Directly asking if the person can provide sexual satisfaction.
You always say you want a simple life
Claiming to want a simple life but being deceptive.
You and me both know that you are a liar
Acknowledging the dishonesty of the person.
You always say you want a simple life
Repeated desire for a simple life, which is doubted.
Hearing you talk just makes me tired
Listening to the person talk is exhausting.
Swim in the heavy water
Metaphorically swimming in troublesome situations.
Buried in the sand
Feeling overwhelmed and stuck.
Happy hearts fall from my shaky hands
Expressing a loss of control in intimate relationships.
I can't hide my sexual life
Confessing an inability to conceal one's sexual life.
He always says he wants to find a special one
A man seeking a special partner but behaving impulsively.
But you watch his head go spinning around
Noted inconsistency in the man's actions and desires.
He really wants anyone who'll give it up
Desire for any available partner, disregarding the small-town context.
He seems to forget he's in a small town
Forgetting the limited options in a small town.
You always say you never fuck around
Denial of engaging in casual relationships.
You say this town is just plain full of liars
Accusing the town of being full of dishonest people.
Yeah you always say you never fuck around
Reiterating the denial of casual affairs.
Hey, hearing you talk just makes me tired
Expressing exhaustion from listening to the person speak.
Swimming in the heavy water
Symbolic immersion in challenging situations.
Buried in the sand
Feeling buried or trapped.
Happy hearts fall from my stupid hands
Losing control of emotions and relationships.
I can't hide my sexual life
Confessing an inability to hide one's sexual life.
My sexual life
Reiteration of the theme of the person's sexual life.
