Paul wrote the first two verses on guitar and sang the unfinished version on the Dick Cavett Show (YouTube.) Paul later gave an interview about this song and said he most always has a personal experience that he’s writing about that stimulates a song, but the entire song isn’t necessarily based on experiences.
I think he is singing about meeting his old lover and realizing she’s still crazy after all these years.
And then he sings about himself and acknowledges that he’s still crazy after all these years. Then he reflects on his life and his depression, as he sits by his NY apt window and looks down at the cars, and fears he will do some damage one day if he jumps.
And then sings he’s still crazy after all these years.
It’s a crazy life we live.
