Louisa Lyrics
Good for nuttin' is the name they'll remember me by
Did nuttin' with my life for no one, I'm just living to die
I turned my back on the world
You know I'd given up on living til I met you girl
Then you came into my life with 'come hither' in your eyes
Pulling me up out of the grave oh what a nice surprise
I die when our nights end but I only stay dead til I see you again
Louisa
I lie awake in the night just to see another dawn
Used to be the sun was my weakness but them days are gone
I feel your lips on mine, oh won't you meet me by the river baby one more time
I'll give you what you wanna have, I'll take you where you wanna go
I'm be the only man you'll ever need, girl, and now you know
I will write your name on my skin as a promise that we'll never be apart again
Louisa
I feel alive when I'm with you baby
So tell me that I'll never be lonely again
Don't wanna die I wanna wander the world with you and no one else for the rest of my days on this earth
Louisa
I turned my back on the world
I wasn't always like this, girl
Do you know what loneliness does to a man?
Turns him into the walking dead
I may have died but your loving raised me, hey
I feel alive when I'm with you baby
So tell me that I won't ever feel lonely again
You saved my life I just wanna repay you kindly
No one else ever tell you you're beautiful girl
I feel alive when I'm with you baby
So tell me that I won't ever feel lonely again
Don't wanna die I wanna wonder the world with you and no one else for the rest of my days on this earth
Louisa
Did nuttin' with my life for no one, I'm just living to die
I turned my back on the world
You know I'd given up on living til I met you girl
Pulling me up out of the grave oh what a nice surprise
I die when our nights end but I only stay dead til I see you again
Used to be the sun was my weakness but them days are gone
I feel your lips on mine, oh won't you meet me by the river baby one more time
I'll give you what you wanna have, I'll take you where you wanna go
I'm be the only man you'll ever need, girl, and now you know
I will write your name on my skin as a promise that we'll never be apart again
So tell me that I'll never be lonely again
Don't wanna die I wanna wander the world with you and no one else for the rest of my days on this earth
I wasn't always like this, girl
Do you know what loneliness does to a man?
Turns him into the walking dead
I may have died but your loving raised me, hey
I feel alive when I'm with you baby
So tell me that I won't ever feel lonely again
You saved my life I just wanna repay you kindly
No one else ever tell you you're beautiful girl
I feel alive when I'm with you baby
So tell me that I won't ever feel lonely again
Don't wanna die I wanna wonder the world with you and no one else for the rest of my days on this earth

I don't know if anyone else gets this feeling from this song, but I've always felt it was a toxic relationship. I don't know if it's intentional on the part of the person who wrote the lyrics or if it was intended to be romantic, but it sounds incredibly codependent.
The singer basically places his whole reason for living on this one woman. The whole idea of "your love raised me from the dead" really feels like it has "I would kms if you ever left me" connotations. He's possessive over her; he doesn't want her to need anyone else, he wants her to need him and him alone.
Essentially, he relies on her for his will to live. He outright tells her that she's the only reason he stays alive. It's unsettling, and feels a little sinister and manipulative.
