Are you crazy, man?
You didn't notice her?
You must be blind
It's all I do now
Just think about how
She will be mine

I couldn't stand up
I couldn't sit down
One look at her and I stumble around

One look at her
I get irrational
She ties my tongue
I saw her downtown

On a cloudy day
She brought the sun
She's not a part of the scene
She don't socialize

She does her own thing
She's ahead of her time
Just the right speed
She is staggering

I couldn't stand up
I couldn't sit down
One look at her and I stumble around
She is staggering
She is staggering

She's uncommonly heavenly
She is so rare
She's beautiful, exceptional
She doesn't care

I couldn't stand up
I couldn't sit down
One look at her and I stumble around
I couldn't get to sleep

And then I couldn't eat
She's all that I want
She is all that I need

She is staggering
She is staggering
She is staggering
She is staggering

    Wonderful love song. Hard to believe such a meaningful song could come from a show like Pete and Pete. Don't get me wrong..I Love Pete and Pete, but to think that all of these awesome Polaris songs were written for a show like that is kinda crazy! I've got the album "Music From The Adventures Of Pete and Pete" and it's just awesoem..

    I agree that this is one of the most amazing love songs ever composed. If a guy actually felt this way about me, I would have found the love of my life.

    BTW, I always thought the lyrics were "I saw her downtown" not "I saw her bow down".

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
