Part One (Savannah) Lyrics

To the bottom dear I had to fall
But you really caught me
You really caught me, dear
At the bottom where I'd fallen

And slowly dear, ask would you dance with me?
Here's the shades down, the lights off

When I didn't know you
Everything I do, done badly

Now, I'll love you always
Even when I say you distract me

And sit out tonight in some strange place
If we have no friends here
Well, I had few to begin with

To wake next to you in the morning
And good morning to you
How do you do?
A good morning to you!
And more covers for you
Sleep soundly, dear, 'cause I have to go

Yeah I'll love you always
And when we leave this place
And drive back to Carolina
And down to Savannah and stay

It seems like a long distant relationship that's kind of built on false expectations. They care for each other, but aren't sure if they'll ever really be together. They distract each other from the crappy things in their lives, and keep each other from going over the edge. They make up things that are going to happen when they're together. If they're ever together.

I am obsessed wit h this song right now. It really hits close to home. I'm suprised it hasn't gotten more commentary, seriously.

this song reflects my recent relationship. we even drove from here in south carolina to savannah to get away and have a nice romantic getaway. we didnt know about this song then, but it really really hits very close to home. this song means everything to me.

I listened to this song around fifteen times today. The road to work has never been so pleasant.

I love this song so much. it's absolutly beautiful. My take, it's just a couple who are in love. They don't need anyone else, only each other, and they have both saved each other from unhappiness ( the "you really caught me, dear" part ) and drive to savannah to settle down.

i dont get the whole carolina-savannah concept. is it simply he just left carolina for savannah? or is it something else

Cover art for Part One (Savannah) lyrics by Band of Horses

this song is so sad, but I love it.

Cover art for Part One (Savannah) lyrics by Band of Horses

I get the feeling that the speaker was on the road far from home and was having a horrible time, for whatever reason. He meets a girl at his lowest point and she brings him out of that low point. He realizes he loves her and wants to go somewhere that they can be together without any interruption, so they go off to Savannah (which is in South Carolina and Georgia, but SC is where the band is from) to be alone and start over.
