Lover Is Childlike Lyrics
Meet me down by the whale watch
Meet me down by the sea
Meet me down at Coney Island
We'll go out on the sea
So don't ask me no questions
'Cause I don't cry no wolf
By the ruins of the ferris wheel
See her down in the surf
You might think she's Christ like
But my lover is childlike
See the fish swimmin' upstream
Back to the hills
Want no part in the whale watch
If you couldn't tell
My lover ain't Christ like
But my lover is childlike
She don't care for country
In her tatters and rags As the band plays the anthem
She whispers, "God hates flags"
Meet me down by the sea
Meet me down at Coney Island
We'll go out on the sea
'Cause I don't cry no wolf
By the ruins of the ferris wheel
See her down in the surf
You might think she's Christ like
But my lover is childlike
Back to the hills
Want no part in the whale watch
If you couldn't tell
My lover ain't Christ like
But my lover is childlike
In her tatters and rags As the band plays the anthem
She whispers, "God hates flags"

You got a couple lines wrong...
"You might think she's Christ-like But my lover is childlike"
Just swap "quite right" for "Christ-like" and you're golden.
Actually, the lyrics are correct. Nothing wrong here. :D

I know this song's been written for The Hunger Games, but I can't help but connect it to Mockingjay. I see this song from Finnick Odair's POV, like he's talking about his lover, Annie Cresta.
"Meet me down by the whale watch .........by the sea .........we'll go out on the sea"
See? everything is related to District 4's occupation - fishing, the sea, whales...
"My lover is childlike" - well basically, the Games have left Annie all messed up and traumatized (since she's also a victor). So naturally, she's kinda scared and naive....she needs someone to help her out, she needs proper care and love to somehow bring her out of the post-Games trauma. Just like a child who has experienced something scary and can't forget about it for a long time.
That's all I got....hope this helps atleast a little bit...
