Sat up in the dark for so long
Just living my life on my own
Then right up outta the blue, bumped into you
I was so amused by your smile boo
Wantin' you to call my phone
So me and you can talk just a little mo'
I didn't know what to do, I was feelin' you
Hopin' you be cool by hangin' out too
I don't know what happened, got people steady askin'
How you go to sleep mad one day the next wake up so happy
Love works like magic and it's so true, my mind can't grasp it
I'm just glad that I got you in my life

I think about us (All day)
Dream about you (Always)
Love ain't always (Complicated)
I think about us (All day)
Dream about you (Always)
Love ain't always (Complicated)

If I'm lovin' it don't take long
People speculatin' that it won't last long
But that just can't be true 'cause I be lovin' you
Like you never knew that I could do
I would never let go, gotta hold on
'Cause you done made me and you a happy home
And I'll give all me to you
I'll do whatever you ask me to 'cause boy you're my
Biggest blessing, they can keep on askin'
How I go to sleep mad one day the next wake up so happy
Well love works like magic and it's so true my mind can't grasp it
I'm so glad that you made me your wife

I think about us (All day)
Dream about you (Always)
Love ain't always (Complicated)
I think about us (All day)
Dream about you (Always)
Love ain't always (Complicated)

Boy, you make me feel so beautiful
And I ain't never gonna let you go
People say this ain't how it's supposed to go
But I refuse to believe 'cause it happened to me
One day you're standing in the middle of the world
And you don't where you're goin'
All of a sudden your whole life change
Then life finally gives you somethin' back
It's been a mean world without you
Boy, I love ya, I love ya

I think about us (All day)
(Boy, you make me feel so beautiful)
Dream about you (Always)
Love ain't always (Complicated)
(And I ain't never gonna let you go)

I think about us (All day)
Dream about you (Always)
Love ain't always (Complicated)
I think about us (All day)
Dream about you (Always)
Love ain't always (Complicated)

I think about us (All day)
Dream about you (Always)
Love ain't always (Complicated)

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
