The South - John Louis

Baby, I could take you with me;

let’s escape to the south

No, we don’t have any money, but we’ll figure it out

When you say that leaving puts a bad taste in your mouth

To be straight, I don’t know what you’re even talking about

To be straight, I don’t know what you’re even talking about

It was the summer of '16

I called you up, said I’d be there in a few

I rang your doorbell, you kissed me

I wished that moment would last an hour or two

Remember back when we both were happy?

I swear if it kills me, I’ll take us there again

My love, I don’t mean to be so black and white

But there’s a simple solution

Baby, I could take you with me;

let’s escape to the south

No, we don’t have any money, but we’ll figure it out

When you say that leaving puts a bad taste in your mouth

To be straight, I don’t know what you’re even talking about

To be straight, I don’t know what you’re even talking about

'Cause I know you

And I know your restless heart

I could save you

If we weren’t so far apart

I had a dream that your heart died

Woke up to watch it become reality

It makes you nauseous when men cry

I left the room so you could stomach the sight of me

Remember when all we talked about was love?

Back when I saved up and bought that diamond ring?

Believe me, darling, I can’t stand waking up

Miles apart, chasing different things

Baby, I could take you with me;

let’s escape to the south

No, we don’t have any money, but we’ll figure it out

When you say that leaving puts a bad taste in your mouth

To be straight, I don’t know what you’re even talking about

'Cause I know you

And I know your restless heart

I could save you

If we weren’t so far apart

Honey, if I had the time, I’d take us back to the start

But I know that’s not what you want and it tears me apart

When you say I need to take the time to figure you out

To be straight, I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about

To be straight, I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about

You’re talking about

You’re talking about

You’re talking about
