Discover the story of the song > Temple – Kings of Leon

The protagonist is at a dance and is attracted to someone who is hard to hear but has a persuasive personality. They are hoping that their simple and slow nature will be appealing to this person and they are willing to take a hit for them (symbolized by taking one in the temple) to show their devotion. Despite feeling overwhelmed by the attention the person is giving to others, the protagonist still hopes to be noticed and is willing to do anything for their partner.
