I think you're coming around again,
Your psychic told you that she thinks it's the end of the line.
You put on that smile again,
And somehow forget you were ever a friend of mine.
These days I'm amazed by the changes in you,
Cause this time you decide you don't like the truth.
Don't throw in the towel and give up on me now,
What can I do?

Chorus:
You're dying to live, you're dying to know what love is,
And I'm trying to show you something more.

Now you're watching the sky,
For a top gun falling from out of the blue sometimes,
you wish you could hide
From this nightmare you swear is becoming your every day life.
I know you don't show you're not doing so well,
It's ok cause today there's a way out of this.
Take my hand if you can and we'll drive all night.

Chorus

You ask me the question,
Staring out the window with the memory running down your face.
Is there more to this maybe?
Than dancing for pennies in the street like a gypsy girl, baby.
You're trying to lie about why you're down and out,
Can't you see that it's me you've been pushing around.
When will you be still and take you're chances with God?

She's music to my eyes, She lives in Paradise.
But something isn't right,
She thinks she's going blind but it's just dark outside.
Tripping along under pale street lights,
I can't believe she says that everything's fine.
She's the luckiest girl alive.
She's the luckiest girl alive.
What a lucky world.

Chorus

    I love this song! I'm not really a total "devoted fan" to Everyday Sunday...but, I really like this song. I think it's kind of underrated. Anyways, this song is about some guy (or God, if you will) and he's saying, like, stop running away from me and I'll show you what true love is. And, it seems that this girl had a bad home life...or, just a bad life in general, so, she's running away from everyone and everything trying to escape those memories and moments in times that she wishes she could erase. The video is cool. Not the best, but ok. Overall, nice song.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

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.
