Lyrics The South - John Louis

The South

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
