Time Running

Tegan and Sara

I could see you ten or twelve times a day
I think it's best we do it your therapist's way
I grow my hair long and wear big coats, yeah
I get so lovesick my sad thoughts float
Time, you've got me running

News broke today so we're not talking
I think it's best we do a little bit of stopping
I want a house on a beach and you in my dreams
I need water, yeah, and a love, love, love, love
Time, you've got me running
Time, you've got me tired
Well I've got more for the world than this
(I've got more)
I've got love that I need to give
(I've got more)
And I've got more for the world than this
(I've got more)
And I've got love that I need to give
(Ah)

News broke today so we're not talking
I think it's best we do a little bit of stopping
I want a house on a beach and you in my dreams
I need water, yeah, and a love, love, love, love
Time, you've got me running
Time, you've got me running
Time, you've got me running
Time, you've got me running

    i love this song. i think its about when youre kind of trapped in a situation with a person you love and you need a change, not only concerning this person but the whole world around you.

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."
