When I think about you, baby, I can't help it (help it)
I lose all my focus, and I just can't stand it
I get so excited every time I hear your name (your name)
And you don't reciprocate, and it's a damn shame
Oh

See, all I'm trying to do, girl, is, is give you my time, and
You know you better not move too slow 'cause I'm moving on
I'll take the chance, and roll the dice
I might miss out on the love of my life

[Chorus]
'Cause you know it
As time moves on, I won't always be around
And I'll be gone
And I won't always be down
'Cause I'm giving it up to you
And you know this much is true
As time moves on, consider me gone
Because I'm moving on

I know it sounds crazy, but I just can't do this (do this)
It feels like we're wasting time, so I'll get to it
When I look into your eyes, I can see right through you (through you)
And you don't feel the same way that I do
Oh

See, all I'm trying to do, girl, is, is give you my time, and (give you my time)
You know you better not move too slow 'cause I'm moving on, lady
I'll take the chance, and roll the dice
I might miss out on the love of my life

[Chorus]

I'm telling you, you really missed out on a good thing for sure
As a matter of fact, I'm glad I didn't walk through that door
I'm a better man for it
Said, I can learn from it or ignore it
You know I've seen it all before
Now your best friend's at my door

I'm moving on
Ooo (as time moves on)
Said, I'm moving on (as time moves on)
Yeah

'Cause you know it
As time moves on, I won't always be around (no, I won't)
And I'll be gone
And I won't always be down
'Cause I'm giving it up to you (no, no, no)
And you know this much is true
As time moves on, consider me gone
Because I'm moving on

I'm moving on, baby
I'm moving on, moving on
I'll be gone
Yes, I will

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.

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."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
