Talking Funny: Love Across Landscapes
Lyrics
She said I'm used to seeing mountains
Expressing familiarity with grand landscapes like mountains and vibrant city skylines.
And a skyline with lots of lights
Comparing their environment, acknowledging a less glamorous setting.
Well honey the best I can do
Offering the best available, a picturesque hill with starlit nights.
Is a pretty little hill with stars at night
Describing a modest, beautiful setting they can offer in contrast to city lights.
Did you know what I call home
Defining home as the presence of happiness symbolized by a smile and a white flower.
Is a smile and white flower in your hair
Stating a personal perception of home.
But what I think you need to know
Expressing doubt about the capacity to convince the other person about their viewpoint.
I don't think you could move me there
Implying a difference in speech patterns or dialects, hinting at a contrast in upbringing.
She said I think you kinda talk funny
Noticing a unique way of speaking, possibly divergent from what is familiar.
My daddy don't say it that strong
Referencing parental influence on speech and communication.
Back at home the radio
Highlighting the dissimilarity between their current location and the hometown through music.
Plays a much different kind of song
Describing emotions by associating them with a specific geographical characteristic.
Here blue eyes cry when it rains
Noting the rarity of certain events in the current environment, like rain.
If it ever even rains at all
Believing the person enjoys their manner of speech despite not acknowledging it.
And I know she'll never admit it but
Questioning the overwhelming sweetness of experiences.
I think she likes the way I talk
Referring to maternal advice on expressing love and affection.
She asked why everything feels so sweet
Expressing a longing for something to instill pride and fulfillment.
Like I poured a little sugar on my lips before
Referencing a landmark that represents a cultural and historical difference.
I told her that my mama said
Reiterating the observation of speech differences between their upbringing and the listener's.
When it comes to showing love there's always room for more
Reinforcing the contrast in musical taste between locations.
And she's been praying for the longest time
Repetition of emotional response to rain and its scarcity in the current location.
For something to make her feel some pride
Stating a belief that the person appreciates their way of speaking despite not admitting it.
And I've never been to Colorado
Emphasizing the disparity in landscapes, comparing cityscapes to less spectacular views.
But I know they don't have an Alamo
Describing a different kind of 'mountain' associated with a recreational substance.
She said I think you kinda talk funny
Repetition of noticing the divergence in speech patterns or dialects.
My daddy don't say it that strong
Reiterating the impact of parental influence on speech.
Back at home the radio
Restating the contrast between musical preferences in different locations.
Plays a much different kind of song
Reiteration of emotional reactions associated with rain, indicating rarity.
Here blue eyes cry when it rains
Belief in the person's appreciation of their manner of speech despite not admitting it.
If it ever even rains at all
Repetition of the scarcity of rain and its emotional impact.
And I know she'll never admit it but
Observation that the person may secretly enjoy the speaker's way of talking.
I think she likes the way I talk
Reiteration of the difference in landscapes and the impact on perceptions.
She said I'm used to seeing mountains with city lights all in the view
Noticing a discrepancy in speech and visual surroundings, humorously comparing 'mountains'.
The only mountains I have here are only good when they turn blue
Expressing acceptance and adaptation to the speaker's speech style.
She said I think you kinda talk funny
Reflecting on a blushing reaction and the enjoyment of a country song.
But I think I'm coming along
Reiteration of emotional responses linked to rain, highlighting its rarity.
I'm pretty sure I saw her blushing when
Belief that despite not admitting it, the person appreciates the speaker's way of talking.
I was singing along to country song
Restating the scarcity of rain and its emotional impact.
But here blue eyes cry when it rains
Observation that the person may secretly enjoy the speaker's way of talking.
If it ever even rains at all
Reiteration of the difference in landscapes and the impact on perceptions.
And I know she'll never admit it but
Noticing a discrepancy in speech and visual surroundings, humorously comparing 'mountains'.
I think she likes the way I talk
