I don't know what this song is "supposed" to be about, but the "And I'm not allowed to talk it out" and "And I'm not allowed to figure it out" lines in the chorus really resonate with how I've been feeling lately, so I'm pretty sure this is gonna be my theme song for a while...

Sang Cara Mia to my wife as part of my marriage proposal. Luckily, she accepted anyway!

Trivia, Becker & Fagen toured with Jay & The Americans, bass & keyboards, 70-71ish.
