I was searchin' on a one-way street.
I was hopin' for a chance to meet.
I was waitin' for the operator on the line.
(She's gone so long.)
What can I do?
(Where could she be?)
Don't know what I'm gonna do.
I gotta get back to you.


(You gotta) Slow down, sweet talkin' woman.
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'.
Hold on, sweet talkin' lover,
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

I was walkin', many days go by.
I was thinkin' 'bout the lonely nights.
Communication break down all around.
(She's gone so long.)
What can I do?
(Where could she be?)
Don't know what I'm gonna do.
I gotta get back to you.

(You gotta) Slow down, sweet talkin' woman.
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'.
Hold on, sweet talkin' lover,
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

I've been livin' on a dead-end street.
I've been askin' ev'rybody I meet.
Insufficient data coming through.
(She's gone so long.)
What can I do?
(Where could she be?)
Don't know what I'm gonna do.
I gotta get back to you.

(You gotta) Slow down, sweet talkin' woman.
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'.
Hold on, sweet talkin' lover,
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

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”

Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
