Annotations and Meaning.

[Verse 1]

The opening lines depict the narrator's intense attraction to a woman who is compared to Anne Hathaway. Her carefree demeanor and the playful interaction hint at a deeper connection forming between them. The request, "Do the things you said you'd do to me," suggests a mix of vulnerability and desire.

[Chorus]

The chorus expresses a fervent plea for love and recognition. The line "love me like a sailor" evokes an image of passionate, perhaps reckless, affection. The narrator equates their lover to a savior, despite a lack of belief in God, indicating that this relationship fills a spiritual void. The mother's worry juxtaposed with the narrator's feeling of being "covered in favor" highlights the tension between societal expectations and personal fulfillment.

[Verse 2]

In this verse, the sensuality intensifies as the lover takes the narrator's fingers to her mouth, creating a moment of pride and intimacy. The narrator's struggle with other experiences and their unique sting of this relationship suggests a painful yet irresistible attraction.

[Outro]

The closing lines offer an escape into a private world where roles are reversed and they can indulge in fantasies. The playful imagery of being a cat and mouse signifies a dynamic and perhaps tumultuous relationship, but one that offers an escape from reality. The song reflects themes of intense romantic desire, the search for personal salvation through love, and the conflict between societal norms and individual passion. The recurring motif of waiting and longing emphasizes the emotional depth and complexity of the relationship.
