Yeah
You know what's funny?
Seems every time I try to forget about you
My feelings pull you back in
You know, 'cause I got somebody else
And you got somebody else
But you and I both know
What it really is
But still
You know what I'm sayin', B?

Ran across a picture you took of me
And it got me thinkin'
'Bout how it used to be
It was just you and me
Still hear you say you love me
Put no one else above me
But that was back then now you're just a memory
If I didn't go away to school
Then where would we be?
Probably still together and somewhere happy
If I'm supposed to be moved on in a new relationship strong
Then why are you still haunting me?

They say
If you love something, let it go
And if it comes back, then that's how you know
I got to the stop light then I made four rights
Now I'm back where I started
And you're back in my life
The further I go, the closer I get back to you
I say I moved on 'til I'm reminded of you
Can somebody help me?
Help me get out of this circle (out of this circle)

I drove past your house the other day
I didn't even mean to
I went the wrong way
I ain't seen your mama in a while
When she looked at me she smiled
And asked me if I'm doin' okay
Took everything I had not to bring up your name
And wonder if you came home for the holidays, yeah
She asked if I could stay awhile
'Cause you had come in town
And you were just five minutes away

If you love something, let it go (hey)
And if it comes back, then that's how you know (if it comes back, yeah)
I got to the stop light then I made four rights (oh)
Now I'm back where I started (oh)
And you're back in my life (now you're back in my life, baby)
The further I go, the closer I get back to you (ooh)
I say I moved on 'til I'm reminded of you (said I moved on but you know that ain't the truth)
Can somebody help me? (Can you help me? Oh, baby, baby, baby)
Help me get out of this circle (out of this circle)

Now everybody who's listening to this
If you got that person that makes you wonder what if
Let me hear you say yeah (yeah)
Say yeah (yeah)
Say yeah (yeah)
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
If you understand how I feel
Then grab that person now to let 'em know what's real
Let me hear you say yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Yeah, hey

If you love something, let it go (oh)
And if it comes back, then that's how you know (that's how you gonna know)
I got to the stop light then I made four rights (I got turned all around)
Now I'm back where I started (tryna figure this out)
And you're back in my life (yes, I am, baby)
The further I go, the closer I get back to you (the further I go, the closer you come)
I say I moved on 'til I'm reminded of you
Can somebody help me? (Can somebody help me? Oh)
Help me get out of this circle (out of this circle)

    No comment what so ever on this song? Wow it's obsolutely amazingly beautiful! That didn't make sense but it's okay. Omg makes me sad. It pretty much about "if you love someone let it go and, if it comes back then you know" Also about a guy who went of to school and came back and it was different with his girl.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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."
