Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Once in a good while,
Ya might find somebody to love you,
Yeah,
Kinda like ya momma,
Or ya grandmamma watchin' above you,
Ooh yeah,
I hope that you stay for the night,
I've made the bed and I've saved your side,
Make me over,
Bring me to the light,
Until the sunshine opens my eyes,
Wait with a smile and I'll,
See you in a little while?
They say that I've changed,
Since I've been livin' without you,
Yeah,
I can't stay in one place,
The memories they chase me,
Around the room,
I planted a shade tree,
And I lay there thinkin' about you,
Yeah,
The leaves fall around me,
I'd love to blow away with them,
If I could,
Sometimes you win,
Sometimes you don't,
Ride my landslide,
Out with the tide,
You ain't goin' nowhere,
If ya goin' there alone,
Hold me over,
The next flight to mine,
Here with a smile and I'll,
I'll see you in a little while?
I used to waste my sweet time,
Till you arrived,
Now I don't know how I'll spend my time alive,
When it's over,
All said and done,
Bags packed,
Tags checked,
Front of the line,
I lay in clover under the sun,
Lift my eyes up to the sky,
And smile,
Cause I'll,
I'll see you in a little while,
I'll see you in a little while,
I'll see you in a little while?
Ya might find somebody to love you,
Yeah,
Kinda like ya momma,
Or ya grandmamma watchin' above you,
Ooh yeah,
I hope that you stay for the night,
I've made the bed and I've saved your side,
Make me over,
Bring me to the light,
Until the sunshine opens my eyes,
Wait with a smile and I'll,
See you in a little while?
They say that I've changed,
Since I've been livin' without you,
Yeah,
I can't stay in one place,
The memories they chase me,
Around the room,
I planted a shade tree,
And I lay there thinkin' about you,
Yeah,
The leaves fall around me,
I'd love to blow away with them,
If I could,
Sometimes you win,
Sometimes you don't,
Ride my landslide,
Out with the tide,
You ain't goin' nowhere,
If ya goin' there alone,
Hold me over,
The next flight to mine,
Here with a smile and I'll,
I'll see you in a little while?
I used to waste my sweet time,
Till you arrived,
Now I don't know how I'll spend my time alive,
When it's over,
All said and done,
Bags packed,
Tags checked,
Front of the line,
I lay in clover under the sun,
Lift my eyes up to the sky,
And smile,
Cause I'll,
I'll see you in a little while,
I'll see you in a little while,
I'll see you in a little while?
