| The American Analog Set – Know By Heart Lyrics

I don't think that this is about a "nothing special" relationship at all. it's about a person who's constantly surprising, the singer has to keep reading and watching a listening to find out more. Or/maybe and, the person is so special that they're in everything that the singer does. |

Amazing song. It's about not realizing that the person you've been seeing is falling in love with you. You break up with them, not meaning to hurt them at all but you just can't seem to sit still. So now you apologize and plead for forgiveness and one last night together (if not a second chance). |

This song is just incredibly hopeful. We all walk around in our lives just trying to get by, afraid of reaching for anything higher because we might fail. But we don't have to wait until we die for eternity or immortality - love and the risks we take are what life's all about anyway. |

I think the first line of the second verse is "sentimental at best" rather than "sit him out on the bast." There might be some other mistakes, can't quite make them out right now. |

I always thought of it as a song about a relationship but I kinda like the possibility of that first verse maybe being addressed to god as well. It's something JD would do in any case. |

I have a live version of this song where she prefaces it by saying "This song comes from a place of, just a moment, when you're just okay with everything, just okay with everybody and everything, it's all worth it."
And I think that's pretty much spot on, from the goddess herself. |

| Ani DiFranco – Pulse Lyrics

An incredible song. It's that feeling of overwhelming love for someone else, that they take priority over you, that you would give them everything in order to thank them for simply being there.
"the problem with death is that you have
some hundred years and then they can
build building on your only bones
100 years and then your grave is not your own"
I think here she's saying that even death itself is impermanent, let alone life, so you have to take love when you find it and give it absolutely everything, because that's the point of life. |

I feel like this song is just perfectly describing that moment when the person that your falling for suddenly becomes bigger than yourself. When all you want is to be with them but they're still not quite sure so you take what you can get, sillouhettes and cryptic conversations. |

| Josh Rouse – Michigan Lyrics

I love this song. Reminds me of home (I live in Michigan).
It's fairly straight-forward, a letter home from a son to his parents, saying I love you and I'm sorry I had to leave. |

I agree with KTTunstall888 (another great artist, by the way). It's about having this incredible person with you and then for reasons you can't remember anymore, you just let them go. It seems like it's maybe about a relationship that ended over an argument that at the time the singer couldn't fogive his lover for. And now, when getting back together seems impossible, he's going over everything he wishes he'd done differently. |

Two people in a relationship just realize that no matter how much they might want it to work out, they just aren't cut out for a romantic relationship with each other. One person just can't love the other as much as she might like. |

This song is just too fitting for my life. I just started seeing this girl but we're both headed off to college in a month and I want to be with her but I know i'm just going to be hung up on her when we both have to leave. |

I absolutely love this song. I just tried to do the lyrics by ear and got a a few lines different ("peak oh" instead of "pickle" in the first line is a notable difference). Kyle Fields is amazing. |

It's an excellent post-break-up song. "You left me and soon you'll regret but I'll have moved on, so there." Cute and slightly bitter all at once. |
