Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Flowers are blowing in the wind
and I can see the sun setting on the hill
it's almost gone
and the hills are greener than I've ever seen
and this feels to real to be just another dream
now don't let me leave this moment
hold me in this place
where everything is clearer
than of all before
and everything makes sense
when you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
and you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
As we sat down by the water
in my mind I felt a gental breeze blow
soft against my face
and we talked for hours
it didn't seem to matter what about
as long I was there with you
can you show me what it is to believe in
something greater than I can't understand
yeah you showed me what it is to believe
when you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
and you say
stand on the edge of tomorrow
don't close your eyes
take a look around here and tell me what you see
tell me what you see
tell me what you see
tell me what you see
when you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath anad tell me what you see
and you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
tell me what you see
tell me what you see
when you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath anad tell me what you see
and you say
stand on the edge of tomorrow
don't close your eyes
take a look around here and tell me what you see
tell me what you see
and I can see the sun setting on the hill
it's almost gone
and the hills are greener than I've ever seen
and this feels to real to be just another dream
now don't let me leave this moment
hold me in this place
where everything is clearer
than of all before
and everything makes sense
when you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
and you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
As we sat down by the water
in my mind I felt a gental breeze blow
soft against my face
and we talked for hours
it didn't seem to matter what about
as long I was there with you
can you show me what it is to believe in
something greater than I can't understand
yeah you showed me what it is to believe
when you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
and you say
stand on the edge of tomorrow
don't close your eyes
take a look around here and tell me what you see
tell me what you see
tell me what you see
tell me what you see
when you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath anad tell me what you see
and you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath and tell me what you see
tell me what you see
tell me what you see
when you say
stand on the edge and don't be afraid to fall
take a breath anad tell me what you see
and you say
stand on the edge of tomorrow
don't close your eyes
take a look around here and tell me what you see
tell me what you see

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
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."

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
this song is amazing, the lyrics and the melody both go great together and really inspires you to go forward
This is my favorit Lifehouse song. They're my favorite group, and any fan knows that it's hard to picka favorite. I haven't even heard the melody, but I almost cried the first time I heard the song. Similar to "Everything" it did something that can rarely be done, it brought out emotions that I didn't even KNOW were there, and that's part of the emmense beauty of this band. They never cease to do this.
This is one of my favourites too. Jason sings with such passion... ahh it's beautiful.
I just love the lines: stand on the edge of tomorrow don't close your eyes its just something you tend not to think about. i have a version and its so raw (demo version) but that makes it better i think. just so awesome.
This song has always brought tears to my eyes. I can't listen to it without getting emotional. It reminds me of the people in my life that have touched me and inspired me to have faith. People who have taught me to move fearlessly through my life without regretting the choices I've made or worrying about the next step.
