New york city, you're so pretty
All your faces, going places
And I believe if you fall in love
I believe if you fall in love

You should jump right in
Always going, faster modem
Cell phone fables, candle-lit tables
I believe if you fall in love

Yes, I believe if you fall in love
You should jump right in
I wrote our initials in the sidewalk cement
Tattooed your name across my arm for all to see

I want to sing about it, sing about it, sing about it
I've got your back from now on baby, you can count on me
Only one life, kisses all night
Kids round fountains, concrete mountains

And I believe if you fall in love
I believe if you fall in love
You should jump right in

    Its funny that this song has no comments when this is probably his most commercial style song. It's about him loving New York simply because of how much he loves his significant lover and screaming to all that love is great.

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”
