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”
Simple perfections covered by a blur of imperfections
When it comes down to this I’ll always think of her
Even though tears may fall from you’re blurry eyes
I want you to know I’m always by your side
Whenever you need me I’ll be there for you
I hope you know you’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
I’d hate to see you waste away
It doesn’t have to be this way
I would do anything to take your pain away
I want to save you
You’re only as beautiful as you want to be
If you want to be a goddess let me be your god
I want to save you
Promise me you’ll save me too
You need the mirror to tell you you’re amazing
It’s the truth, you are amazing
Let me tell you you’re amazing
Watch as my tears fall for you
It kills me to see you like this
Falling apart, trapped in such a miserable bliss
I want to hold you for tonight
And tell you everything will finally be alright
I’d hate to see you waste away
It doesn’t have to be this way
I would do anything to take your pain away
I want to save you
You’re only as beautiful as you want to be
If you want to be a goddess let me be your god
I want to save you
Promise me you’ll save me too
Smiles and your laughter is worth waiting for
I’d wait forever just to hear you’re
Voices on the telephone barely make a whisper
You’re everything I want
Everything I need
I’ll take your pain and bleed for you
So you never feel this way again
You are beautiful even when you’re crying
But inside both of us are slowly dying
Just waiting for a match to ignite
I’ll burn this down for you
I’d hate to see you waste away
It doesn’t have to be this way
I would do anything to take your pain away
I want to save you
You’re only as beautiful as you want to be
If you want to be a goddess let me be your god
I want to save you
Promise me you’ll save me too
The sun sets and we’ll sleep to dream tonight
Because it brings me closer to you
I’d hate to see you waste away
It doesn’t have to be this way
I would do anything to take your pain away
I want to save you
You’re only as beautiful as you want to be
If you want to be a goddess let me be your god
I want to save you
Promise me you’ll save me too
When it comes down to this I’ll always think of her
Even though tears may fall from you’re blurry eyes
I want you to know I’m always by your side
Whenever you need me I’ll be there for you
I hope you know you’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
I’d hate to see you waste away
It doesn’t have to be this way
I would do anything to take your pain away
I want to save you
You’re only as beautiful as you want to be
If you want to be a goddess let me be your god
I want to save you
Promise me you’ll save me too
You need the mirror to tell you you’re amazing
It’s the truth, you are amazing
Let me tell you you’re amazing
Watch as my tears fall for you
It kills me to see you like this
Falling apart, trapped in such a miserable bliss
I want to hold you for tonight
And tell you everything will finally be alright
I’d hate to see you waste away
It doesn’t have to be this way
I would do anything to take your pain away
I want to save you
You’re only as beautiful as you want to be
If you want to be a goddess let me be your god
I want to save you
Promise me you’ll save me too
Smiles and your laughter is worth waiting for
I’d wait forever just to hear you’re
Voices on the telephone barely make a whisper
You’re everything I want
Everything I need
I’ll take your pain and bleed for you
So you never feel this way again
You are beautiful even when you’re crying
But inside both of us are slowly dying
Just waiting for a match to ignite
I’ll burn this down for you
I’d hate to see you waste away
It doesn’t have to be this way
I would do anything to take your pain away
I want to save you
You’re only as beautiful as you want to be
If you want to be a goddess let me be your god
I want to save you
Promise me you’ll save me too
The sun sets and we’ll sleep to dream tonight
Because it brings me closer to you
I’d hate to see you waste away
It doesn’t have to be this way
I would do anything to take your pain away
I want to save you
You’re only as beautiful as you want to be
If you want to be a goddess let me be your god
I want to save you
Promise me you’ll save me too

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
I don't know the song, but the text is just amazing!!
There are a couple lines in there that are oddly similar to Something Corporate's I Want To Save You... :|
