This track is written as a concept piece from the perspective of Humbert Humbert, the protagonist? of Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.
lyrics
And I was lost
I'm still lost
There's no warmth in your arms
I can't find refuge from her eyes in your eyes
But I'm alive
And you found me
And you loved me
Though I'm not who I should be
Because of her, though I'm good to you
I don't think I can love you
Because of my love in a princedom by the sea
There's another man
Is he better than me?
And if you're leaving, fuck all our "love"
Take you things before push comes to shove
And I love her. I don't love you
But she's now gone, she died in Corfu
Oh my god, oh my god...
Oh Anna, hold me
Oh Anna, hold me, oh Anna I'm so lonely, oh Anna you're my one and only oh, Anna won't you hold me?
So I'm leaving. You do the same.
America calls my name.
There I will live. Maybe I'll love
Oh my god, oh my god.
