Naive Orleans Lyrics

Cover art for Naive Orleans lyrics by Anberlin

This is the only song I've ever heard by Anberlin, but I am definitely captivated by it.

I love the line, "But my heart's lost in New Orleans."

I just spent a few days there, for my 21st birthday, and while I can't remember some of that night, it was definitely one of the greatest nights of my life. And I know that even if I go to New Orleans again, and go into every bar, and get a drink from every one, it will never be the same, not even close to it. So this song is sort of how I feel about that... a part of me, my heart, was left in New Orleans when I was there.

But that's just me, my personal spin on it.

In general, I just think it's about somebody getting over someone they lost, realizing that the world is still gonna keep turning, and life does go on.
