Discover the story of the song > Play – Stephen Fretwell

The lyrics are about a little girl who is feeling off or unwell. The protagonist is telling her not to be so hard on herself and to not let the shivers or cold bother her. They suggest that she goes and plays in the grass or writes a letter to feel better. The repetition of "there must be something in the water tonight" emphasizes the idea that the protagonist believes there is something affecting the little girl's mood or well-being.
