Remember back at Ryder High
Wishing on stars in the Texas sky
I got your name tattooed
Across my heart, how could we lose?

Back in black when we were hand in hand
Two young kids like Jack and Diane
Falling at the speed of light
And burning up never felt so right

So why I don't miss you?
Tell me what am I supposed to do
After all the shit that we've been through
I can't feel a thing

Maybe I was too high
Maybe I just sobered up too soon
And you're still on the dark side of the moon
And always on my mind
So why don't I miss you?

So many nights we drove around
King and queen of the whole damn town
Voted 'Most likely to succeed'
We were everybody?s meant to be

Burned out plans to take over the world
Did I fuck it up or did we just get bored
Of losing at the same old game?
We had our 15 minutes of fame

We took it all the way
You can't say we didn't try

So why I don't miss you?
Tell me what am I supposed to do
After all the shit that we've been through
I can't feel a thing

Maybe I was too high
Maybe I just sobered up too soon
And you're still on the dark side of the moon
And always on my mind
So why don't I miss you?

Why don't I miss the way
You laugh at everything I say?
You mom?s apple pie
Always blew me away

It?s funny how I always write
The same old song
I wonder if you ever sing along with me
Sing along with me

So why I don't miss you?
Tell me what am I supposed to do
After all the shit that we've been through
I can't feel a thing

Maybe I was too high
Maybe I sobered up too soon
And you're still on the dark side of the moon
And you're always on my mind
So why don't I miss you?

(Burned out plans to take over the world)
(I got your name tattooed)
Why don't I miss you?
(Did I fuck it up or did we just get bored?
(Across my heart, how could we lose?

Why don't I miss you?
(So many nights we drove around)
(But we were losing at the same old game)
Why don't I miss you?
(King and queen of the whole damn town)
(We had our 15 minutes of fame)
Why don't I miss you?

    wow i can believe that there is no comments on here.

    This song is really good. When someone breaks up with you and sometimes you dont miss them. Its crazy cause i went through the same thing. When me and this girl broke up, it took me about 5 months to really miss her.

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/

Magical
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.
