Lyric discussion by Schattenjager 

Cover art for Taylor lyrics by Jack Johnson

I always thought that the song was talking about a prostitute or a stripper: just a girl who didn't know what she was getting into when she left home, and now she's stuck. I'm kind of confused on the "Peter Patrick" part; does anyone have any ideas? I've just been taking it as a guy who is just drifting through life, not really going anywhere, and like Taylor, he dreams that he's far away.
