Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Drink down that gin and kerosene
Come spit on bridges with me
Just to keep us warm
Light a match to leave me be
Light a match to leave me be
I keep my jealousy close 'cause it's all mine
And if you say this makes you happy then I'm not the only one lying
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
I keep my jealousy close 'cause it's all mine
And if you say this makes you happy then I'm not the only one lying
Drink down that gin and kerosene
Come spit on bridges with me
Just to keep us warm
Light a match to leave me be
Light a match to leave me
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
So wear me like a locket around your throat
I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke
You look so good in blue
You look so good in blue
So wear me like a locket around your throat
I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke
You look so good in blue
You look so good in blue
So wear me like a locket around your throat
I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke
You look so good in blue
You look so good in blue
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
Come spit on bridges with me
Just to keep us warm
Light a match to leave me be
Light a match to leave me be
I keep my jealousy close 'cause it's all mine
And if you say this makes you happy then I'm not the only one lying
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
I keep my jealousy close 'cause it's all mine
And if you say this makes you happy then I'm not the only one lying
Drink down that gin and kerosene
Come spit on bridges with me
Just to keep us warm
Light a match to leave me be
Light a match to leave me
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
Keep quiet
Nothing comes as easy as you
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake
Hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday
So wear me like a locket around your throat

You look so good in blue
You look so good in blue
So wear me like a locket around your throat
I'll weigh you down, I'll watch you choke

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Little Feat
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”
I am gonna take a swing at the meaning of this song.........
Drink down that gin and kerosene, and come spit on bridges with me. Just to keep us warm.
Then light a match to leave me be. Light a match to leave, me be. And I keep my jealousy close, 'cause it's all mine. And if you say this makes you happy, then I'm not the only lying (Maybe these are two people getting drunk, setting fires and enjoying themselves. Then light a match leave me be must be her leaving him alone, and maybe hes jealous of something, maybe she has another guy. Then when she saying she happy shes really not and he knows this.)
Keep quiet, nothing comes as easy as you. Can I lay in your bed all day? I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake. The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday. (Keep quiet, maybe they are having sex or something, and they are lying in her bed and he just wants to lay there. Maybe shes cheating on a guy with him here. Then afterwards he must right about it.)
So wear me like a locket around your throat. I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke. You look so good in blue. You look so good in blue. (Maybe he wants her to keep him in mind, and wants her to feel guilty. Then he wants to see the relationship blow up in her face. Then you look so good in blue is either she looks good in blue, or she is blue because shes sad and he likes to see her that way.)
Welll thats just my opinion.
