Way across the planes the lights spell out a code
No one knows where they take us but we'll search till we grow old
All the paths they lead to a single solemn place
Then we'll stay for the weekend and leave without a trace

Just for tonight
Just maybe we've made it
Sing like you want this
Sing like you want this

Just for tonight
Just maybe we've made it
Sing like you want this
Sing like you want this

We can take tonight, take our time
So sing like you need this and be who you want to
All the paths they lead to a little standing place
And if you stay for a weekend we'd leave without a trace

Just for tonight
Just maybe we've made it
Sing like you want this
Sing like you want this

Just for tonight
Just maybe we've made it
Sing like you want this
Sing like you want this


Just for tonight, just for tonight
Just maybe we've made it
Sing like you want this
Sing like you want this

Just for tonight
Just maybe we've made it
Sing like you want this
Sing like you want this

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”
