Is it me or did we agree to love?
Tell me why I don't feel we got enough.
It's you but what about me?
It seems like you live a life without me.
Everything seems to have your time but us
My space in your heart is closing up
and the place where your picture's hanging
Is the only time that you're with me.
Don't leave me out here all alone -oh no.
I'm still right here where'd you go

Look around,
Don't you feel something missing?
I'm the one you promised you would love
but you got ahead so far away
While I'm holding on
Please turn around
I see you but I don't feel you
Can't get your attention to save my love
Look back and see me now
Don't let me down please turn around

I think I must've gave too much
cause I felt that the road was getting rough
Suddenly I felt lonley out here
I look beside me to find you're not there,
said you would love and protect me
All I have are the words you left me
Here I stand with the plans in my head
This can't be the kinda love that you said
Don't leave me out here all alone
I'm still right here where'd you go

Look around,
Don't you feel something missing.
I'm the one you promised you would love
but you got ahead so far away
while I'm holding on
Please turn around
I see you but I don't feel you
Can't get your attention to save my love
Look back and see me now
Don't let me down
Please turn around

If you only see the tears that I'm crying on my pillow,
that doesnt compare to what your doing to my soul.
Don't you even know that I'm in need of love,
I'm calling you but you don't seem to hear a thing
I'm losing you now

Please just look around;
Don't you feel something missing?
I'm the one you promised you wouild love
but you got ahead so far away
while I'm holding on.
Please turn around,
I see you but I don't feel you
Can't get your attention to save my love
Look back and see me now
Don't let me down
Please turn around.

Don't you feel something missing?
I'm the one you promised you would love
but you got ahead so far away
while I'm holding on
Please turn around,
I see you but I don't feel you
Can't get your attention to save my love
Look back and see me now
Don't let me down,
Please turn around

Turn around;
just turn around.
Turn around;
Look around baby
Look around baby
Look around baby.

    this girl is damn hot as hell. i saw this music video today while I was at rent-a-center checking out the prices on their TV's, I saw the video and was like this chick is hot, I like the chorus, and beat, very catchy song. the meaning is obvious imo, she loves him, he says he loves her, but he's never around, he always is out with his friends, other girls, not answering his phone, never hanging out with her, never showing her love, even though he promised her his love.

    Really good song, but I personally think the video is stupid!

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
