Discover the story of the song > McKenzie – Houndmouth

The protagonist in the song only sees their romantic partner at night in the city. They used to kiss their partner by the harbor where the ships come in, but now they only have short encounters. The protagonist tries to drive their partner home, but ends up sleeping on the sofa because it's too cold outside. The lyrics also suggest that their conversations have become shallow and their partner doesn't really listen to them.
