Lyrics

There she is

Referring to a woman

Aloft in her long white dress

Describing her in an elegant outfit

Belonging with someone else

Indicating she belongs to someone else

I should have never left

Expressing regret about leaving


Get me out of this

Desire to escape the current situation

And into to the Southside Hills

Desiring a calm and still place

Where I can be calm and still

Expressing a lack of calmness in general

Something I never feel

Describing a feeling that is rarely experienced


And your so-called friends

Referring to the listener's friends

They'll never understand

Claiming the friends won't understand

They want you to chill out, man

Implying pressure to relax

Something you never can

Highlighting the difficulty in achieving relaxation


And your only hope

Stating a suggested course of action

Is to make like you want a smoke

Suggesting a way to appear relaxed

Just fade into the eighteenth hole

Encouraging a retreat or escape to the eighteenth hole

Don't even go back for your coat

Advising not to return for personal belongings


Soon it will be Sunday morning

Anticipating a specific time - Sunday morning

And you know your uncle will be out here golfing

Expecting the presence of an uncle golfing

Saying, "What have we here?"

Uncle noticing the situation and questioning it

Yeah, cracking his jokes

Depicting the uncle making jokes

Maybe he'll give you a beer

Suggesting a possible offer of a beer

And drive you home

Potential assistance in transportation

And you turn on your phone

Reconnecting with technology after the escape


And there she is

Reintroduction of the woman through a text message

Coming through a late night text

Describing the woman's inquiry about her friend

Wondering about her friend

Expressing regret about leaving the woman

I should have never left

Reiterating the narrator's remorse for leaving
