From Northerton to Northern California
Folk don’t really change
And there’s always the rain
From Southport Beach to sunday in the Hamptons
Well I never could complain
And there’s always the rain

The fool you are in Manchester
The fool you are in Maine
The lies you tell in Liverpool
Will follow you to Spain
It’s the fool you are

From Lambeth walk to London, Ontario
We’d love to run away
When it looks like rain
From Sunset Strip to Waterloo Underground
The stars are just the same
And it looks like rain

The fool you are in Manchester
The fool you are in Maine
The lies you tell in Liverpool
Will follow you to Spain
It’s the fool you are
It’s the fool you are
Yes it is

From the Sunshine State to Shaftesbury Avenue
Folk don’t really change
And there’s always the rain
And the night before in Northern California
Is dawning on the Thames and it looks like rain

The fool you are in Manchester
The fool you are in Maine
The lies you tell in Liverpool
Will follow you to Spain
And the morning after Leicester Square
Is hungover in Rome
And never again in Newcastle
Is one more for the road
It’s the fool you are
It’s the fool you are
Yes it is
It’s the fool you are
It’s the fool that’s what you are
It’s the fool you are

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
