Take It Easy, San Francisco Lyrics

Cover art for Take It Easy, San Francisco lyrics by Emily Wells

To me, I hear "half of heart break is knowing the ropes." Sounds to me like this is handling the end of a relationship, and changes the meaning of the song. It sounds like they don't want it to be over or for anything to change, but the other person has gone off with their wiles and woes.

Forgot to say. The "tight walkers toes" seems to be in reference to the people breaking up. "I got a dime for every song that jives and wouldn't you know that I'm half broke?" sounds like things aren't working anymore-nothing jives.
