Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
I can see you cry
I’m saying goodbye
You have to find another way
I can’t let you stay
I’ve seen many girls
All over the world
You never really stood a chance
Someone came and had the last dance
It’s so hard to find another way again and again
Well I tell you
Everything’s is going to be alright
Wait and see let it be
Everything’s is going to be alright
You’ll be fine give it time
One more time yes alright
I told you before
And I’ll tell you once more
You’ll have to wait another day
Can’t let you stay
It’s hard to confess
And it’s hard to shame
At times I knew I would break your heart
You said we’d never part
It’s so hard to find another way again and again
Well I tell you yea
Everything's gonna be alright
Wait and see let it be
Everything’s is going to be alright
You’ll be fine give it time
One more time yeah
Everything's gonna be alright
Wait and see let it be yeah
Everything’s is going to be alright
You’ll be fine give it time give it time

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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”
