Caroline I See You Lyrics

Cover art for Caroline I See You lyrics by James Taylor

I think he is talking about he and his wife before their marriage. I think he's out having his fun doing whatever he does and is thinking of her. I think he knows what he's doing is not right, so he's saying that he is going to do right and ask her to marry him. By him "seeing" her I think he means he understands what he's putting her through. I can picture her looking down from upstairs as he goes out. He doesn't like it, but he's still having his fun. One day he'll let it go and settle down and do what he is supposed to do.
