let's take a walk tonight
we're gonna talk this out
the moon is holding up my alibis

so what if youre with him tonite?
so what if i cant be there?
you were never really with me anyway

with hopes of starting over
(i'll send you post card when i get there)
anywhere
anywhere
far from you

reff:
one day i will find you even when you're not around
dont say "we wont last any longer"
or "you will find someone better"
it's you that im waiting for
so i'll wait for you
take notes that we'll still have each other
we'll drive away

(i can't let you go if you keep holding my hand)

let's give this one last shot
before i break your heart
the moon is down
so no more alibis

so what if youre with him tonite?
so what if i cant be there?
you were never really with me anyway

with hopes of starting over
(i'll send you post card when i get there)
anywhere
anywhere
far from you

dont bother to explain it
i dont care anymore
you know what's fun is fun
i know what's done is done
dont let the story end this way
let's just forget it
let's just pretend it

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”
