I wish I knew how to be someone who
Forgot to cross their fingers every time
Now it's summer time and I'm looking at the same year
This is not your friend
This is not your friend to lose

I wish I knew how to be someone with
The kind of air about them that just fit
But I've spent so much time introspecting
I don’t think that I will make it

I've spent so much time
I've spent so much time on you
I can't tell if I had to

So if you're feeling kind of blue
And she's about to break the groove
I cry into exhaustion, in a sleep where you can't see me
Following dandelions and subtleties that you find in my dreams

Oh I'm glad, no one can talk
Come to bed, you're so bold
I have read those books you wrote
I've learned much from song quotes

I wish I knew how to be someone who
Forgot to cross their fingers every time
Now it summer time and I'm looking at the same year
This is not your friend
This is not your friend to lose

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”
