Tight rope walking ain't that hard
After slamming back a few you're laughing now
But it ain't that funny when they get through with you
You see me wishing I were you but it hurts too much to try
I failed before so now why bother
Hurts so much I think I'll cry

If I never knew you I'd never love you
If I never loved you then I wouldn't cry
If I never knew you I'd never love you
If loving meant living I wouldn't die

Standing closer ain't that bad
With your hands upon your face you looked too far
I looked much farther and lost all sense of trace
You see me wishing I were you but I'll never be the same
Never had such a sense of wonder
Never knew they had a brain

If I never knew you I'd never love you
If I never loved you then I wouldn't cry
If I never knew you I'd never love you
If loving meant living I wouldn't die

I can't hear myself scream and I can't hear myself dream

Nobody's falling
Nobody's falling
Nobody
Run
Just hit the floor
Nobody's falling
Nobody's falling
Nobody
Still I'd catch you

If I never knew you I'd never love you
If I never loved you then I wouldn't cry

Nobody's falling
Nobody's falling
Nobody
Run
Just hit the floor
Nobody's falling
Nobody's falling
Nobody
Still I'd catch you

    this song is amazing. he's saying if he never met this gal, he'd never love her. and loving her made his life a living hell pretty much, because he can't get over her.

    i'm in this situation now. maybe it'll relate to you guys more than the lyrics. i met this guy through my friends, and it was pretty much love at first sight. we went out, and then he broke up with me. i cried and crieddddd. ever since then i've been in love with him and i'm not able to get over him and every time i see him i die inside.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
