You say that Gainesville's got no soul.
Well, that sounds like a good excuse for coming home.
And all these Tallahassee skylines, they keep singing out a song.
And know it's your song they've been singing all night long.
And this Galley Alley rooftop just keeps calling out your name to come and stay.
So stay.
So stay.
Stay and watch the stars come out and then the sun as they all fade away.
I'll sing every song I wrote
If it will make you want to stay.
And then I'll say.
That I missed you.
And these words.
They'll convince you
I poured through every song I wrote.
Every line that I've cried every note
That was spilt with this pen.
And every line in every song,
They all seemed to come out wrong.
Until your song.
So let's sing it all night long.
And this Tallahassee skyline hasn't changed.
While the view from every rooftop says to stay.
Stay and watch the stars come out and then the sun as they all fade away.
I'll sing every song I wrote
If it will make you want to stay.
And then I'll say.
That I missed you. And these words.
They'll convince you.
And I could call you baby doll all the time.
And you'd whisper in my ears.
You'd say "I missed you boy."
So sing it over again, and over again, and over again.
And I could call you baby doll all the time.
And you'd whisper in my ears, you'd say "I missed you boy."
So sing it over again, and over again, and over again.
And I could call you baby doll all the time,
you'd whisper in my ears,
You'd say, "I missed you boy,"
sing it over again and over again and over again
Still you'd say that I missed you
and these words they'll convince you
And I'm happy as I kiss you
And I could call you baby doll all the time.
And you'd whisper in my ears, you'd say "I missed you boy."
So sing it over again, and over again, and over again.
And I could call you baby doll all the time.
And you'd whisper in my ears, you'd say "I missed you boy."
So sing it over again, and over again, and over again, yeah

He is trying to convince her to stay, and enjoy the city sights, the sunset the stars! Anything to keep her by his side. He tried so hard to write her a song that will convince her to stay. And if she does stay, they can call eachother cute nicknames "babydoll" and they will live happily ever after..
BUT! this actually doesnt happen. Its only what he desires, and he wrote this song in an attempt to keep her in tallahassee. :)

I don't think Derek (the person they're referring to) actually has an accent other than a modern-american-accent (if that's what you would call it...). It's just that his voice is deeper, and sounds very much different than what you would usually hear in today's music. Or in all music, really. I personally really like his voice.
However, if he does have a different accent (it obviously does song different, but I don't think you can consider it any one-particular accent like Aussie or Norwegian). If that is a cultural accent though, my bad.
Anyways, I think people understand what this song is about. On the surface, at least.
i wanna sit on a gallay allet rooftop.

Galley Alley is a series of rooftops, in downtown Tallahassee, where many band members /skater /punk /cool kids go. [It is now fenced off, and you cannot get up there anymore.] But before, you could go up there after a show at the local Beta Bar, or Floyd's Music Store, and meet many new people. Band members and such.
