"
Live it up, live it up
Or just come back home
Yeah, cause these city lights
Are too much for you alone
But San Francisco sounds quite lovely
And so I'll just wait for your call
I promise, I promise and wholly lonely
What the singer is trying to get at here, (In this case, the singer Lydia) . Well, he's singing this to someone he knows who apparently has moved to San Francisco. He sing about how he/she should have fun at that place, but if it's overwhelming, " these city lights are too much alone", then he wouldn't mind he/she coming back home.
