Antonio Carlos Jobim Lyrics

Cover art for Antonio Carlos Jobim lyrics by Heatmiser

I think it is about a friend who's visiting him. She used to be alone but now she is a guy and this person is intensely jealous. So now she can't really visit anyone and she's even afraid to take of her shoes because her boyfriend could take it the wrong way. And Elliott thinks that she would be better off alone. I think the instrumentals part is a metaphor.

Okay so this interpretation isnt perfect but that's what i always think when i hear this song.

Obviously I meant "she is with a guy" but thats a pretty funny typo
