Oh, well I woke up in hell today
I woke up depressed and drained
But that's OK 'cause I promised
Not to hurt you again
And apparently I'm to blame
But apparently I've been framed
By a memory that
Won't help me when its happening
Out of the mind
Out of the soul
Out of the light
Out of control
Standing in the middle of yesterday
Where it all went wrong
Where we made the mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
Until it will be okay
Well, I promised you I would I change
But I'm an asshole and I'm ashamed
And I'm upset 'cause
I betrayed everything that you gave
Will you ever let me explain
Can I beg you to let me stay
Don't quit me 'cause ill never let this happen
Out of the mind
Out of the soul
Out the light
Out of control
Standing in the middle of yesterday
Where it all went wrong
Where we made the mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it'll be okay

Standing in the middle of yesterday
Where it all went wrong
Where we made the mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it'll be okay
Standing in the middle of yesterday
Where it all went wrong
Where we made the mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it'll be okay
Oh, I want to make it up to you
Make it up to you
I'm gonna make it up to you
Oh, oh
Oh, I want to make it up to you
Make it up to you
I'm gonna make it up to you
Oh, oh

    Alright, this song touches home in an exact situation that has happened to me...its uncanny really.As if Raine read my mind. To Me...and thats in my opinion..this song is about a person who has pushed someone away and is reliving it in differents experiances over and over..thus being tapped in "hell"...the "person" can not forget the first time it and the first love and vowes to make it up to them. They make excuses "like there an ass hole..that they will change...that they her framed..." and promise not to hurt them again...but they are trapped in a circle..and back in the same situation over and over again wishins he made it right the first time. trapped and standing in the middle of yesterday.

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”
