Pop Song 213 'Show me the way' Peter Frampton 1975

Peter Frampton’s “Show Me The Way” is generally understood to be based on the singer asking for direction from outside. But Frampton has noted that he wrote it specifically in a romantic context. The addressee, when he was penning “Show Me the Way”, was his romantic interest at the time. In fact the reference to “swimming” in the song is a bit literal. For he spent the day he wrote this tune swimming and chillin’ with his girlfriend, who he was very enamored with back then. Indeed ultimately, the idea all of the diverse lyrics featured throughout point to is him being in love.
