It's about time you made a choice of when you're coming over
I asked you a long time ago, but still there's no word
Of when you'll leave your friends for me
In the itinerary is a thousand places we could be
(One thousand places we could be)
Manhattan, Pittsburgh, Paris, France (Paris, France) or Columbus, Ohio
Australia, London, Tokyo, (Tokyo) but still you say no!
I don't care, but need to know when you'll join me out on the road
What will it take for you to go? (What will it take for you to go?)
(You know I try) You're not tryin'
(But I'm so tired) Keep tryin'
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
But you just keep sleeping
You keep sleeping
(You're not trying)
It's about time you came to me (It's about time you came to me)
I'm always flying to you
One last shot I can try to do out of desperation!
Send an airline ticket to your home (to your home, to your mama and papa)
But you probably won't show, waiting at JFK with little hope (Now you know it)
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
Try, try to stay awake
But, you just keep sleeping
Try, try to stay awake (Try to stay awake) (You're not tryin')
Try, try to stay awake (Try to stay awake) (You're not tryin')
Try, try to stay awake (Try to stay awake) (You're not tryin')
Or you'll just keep sleeping
(You keep sleeping) You keep sleeping (You're not tryin') You're not tryin'
(Keep sleepin') Keep sleepin' (You're not tryin') You're not tryin'
(Keep sleepin', keep sleepin')

    Probably my favorite on Seven More Minutes, it is def catchy. As does the whole album, it captures some of the feeling of Matt's experience living in Spain and the girl that he had been seeing. He wants to take her to all these places in the US, but she never goes

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."
