Well Maybe it's us but I really think that it could be you
We were head over feet
it was ironic that our dreams had come true
So I packed up all my luggage and headed for the coast
Spandex, peanut butter, and more jam on my toast
We don't mean no harm
It's just honesty's priority
And we just broke our break
Handshakes
The more we give you the more you take
But it's so hard when everything's fake
Tell us that we blow and we'll tell you, "You suck!" (you suck)
Throw another battery at us and we'll duck
Unpack all my luggage
Nothing else to do
There's a method to our madness and it stems from you
We don't mean no harm
It's just honesty's priority
And we just broke our break
Handshakes
The more we give you the more you take
But it's so hard when everything's fake

When everything's fake
We'll be okay
We'll be okay

I will wonder
I will wonder
We will be okay

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”
