Sweet Dreams, TN Lyrics
I just sort of always feel sick without you baby
I ain’t got anything to lick without you baby
Nothing seems to stick without you baby
Ain’t I fallen in love
It’s just the pits without you baby
It’s really just the pits without you baby
It’s like everyone’s a dick without you baby
Ain’t I fallen in love
And all my pals will tell me’s that I’m crazy
You bet I’m loopy alright!
And I just don’t recognize this fool
That you have made me
Whoa I ain’t seen him for a while
And as your shrinking figure blows a kiss
I catch and smash it on my lips
Darling I can’t seem to quit
Completely falling to bits
I really might be losing it
The idea that you’ve existed all along’s ridiculous
I don’t know what to say
Baby we ought to fuck
Seven years of bad luck out the powder room mirror
Could I have made it any clearer
It’s love like a tongue in a nostril
Love like an ache in the jaw
You’re the first day of spring
With a septum piercing

I ain’t got anything to lick without you baby
Nothing seems to stick without you baby
Ain’t I fallen in love
It’s really just the pits without you baby
It’s like everyone’s a dick without you baby
Ain’t I fallen in love
You bet I’m loopy alright!
And I just don’t recognize this fool
That you have made me
Whoa I ain’t seen him for a while
And as your shrinking figure blows a kiss
I catch and smash it on my lips
Darling I can’t seem to quit
Completely falling to bits
I really might be losing it
The idea that you’ve existed all along’s ridiculous
I don’t know what to say
Seven years of bad luck out the powder room mirror
Could I have made it any clearer
Love like an ache in the jaw
You’re the first day of spring
With a septum piercing

I like that it builds as an earnest love ballad until the end twist; similar to Cornestone I feel.
The reality is that it's about a drug-fuelled (jaw ache could indicate cocaine) fuck/fling in a club or somewhere (broken powder room mirror).. Coupled with the title which could be interpreted as him not knowing her name and just labelling her as being in/from Tennessee.
It's about his current girlfriend, Taylor - almost an ode to her. She's from Tennessee and has a septum piercing. Seven years of bad luck meaning it took him a handful of past girlfriends over the period of 7 years to finally find her.
@instalux 7 years of bad luck is the superstition that if you break a mirror you'll have bad luck for 7 years. I think it's more a reference to the wild sex where they'll break a mirror by crashing against it, but the sex will have been so good it won't bring them bad luck.
