Long ago, someone once made a case of this song being the sequel to Little Thing and I found that angle pretty neat.

It is neat. I always enjoyed that aspect and it contributed to my overall enjoyment of the song. There's a thread to Little Thing there. A tribute to Willie and even a nod to another song on the album, Hello Again..
I really hate when people just pull out sentences from pop music and point out how meaningless it is. Sometimes it's about how it sounds more than what it says. Sometimes it's about conveying a feeling. The song is conversational. It's like the thoughts you'd have in your head if you haven't seen this person in X amount of time..
Lyrics don't always have to be deeply philosophical, metaphorical, literary works of art. Sometimes simple is best.
There's a difference with this example and being lazy though, which certainly Dave can be at times.
