why can't anything be easy?
why do i always dream wood teeth are falling all over the street?

you get the girl,
you lose the girl,
the girl wants back but you've already moved on

you take her in,
she changes her mind,
you lose the girl, and you've lost her twice so

why can't anything be easy?
(why can't everything be easy)
you wanted out, 'fore you
get pulled right the fuck back in.

guess who?
(guess who!)
guess who?
(it's you!)
guess who?
(it's you?)
guess who?
(guess who)
guess who?
(is it you)
guess who?
(is it ME?)
guess who?
(IT'S YOU!"

why can't anything be easy?
why do you fantasize,
instruct the darkness, you find the light,
you had the drive,
your belly was split,
the love slipped in and off with your head

you fell off fast,
you fell off hard,
you wanna get back so my back's moved on so

why can't anything be easy?
(why can't everything be easy?)
you wanted out, 'fore you
get pulled, right the fuck back...

ain't got no body,
ain't got nobody to blame

ain't got no body,
ain't got nobody to blame

ain't got no body,
ain't got nobody to blame

ain't got no body,
ain't got nobody to blame

you wanted out, 'fore you...

    In the beggining it's

    you get the girl, you lose the girl, the girl walks back but she's already moved on

    you take her in, she changes her mind, you lose the girl, and you've lost her twice so

    I think that part is for sure cause it was mentioned in an interview Honus did.

    And I think the other part is

    why can't anything be easy? why do you fantasize, instruct the darkness, you find the light, you have the drive, your belly was split, the love slipped in and off with your head

    And on the guess whos, after is it me he screams it's you.

    Thanks for putting this up though, the second verse I wasn't too sure of until I saw what you put up.

    Thanks, I corrected them. Those seem to be very close if not 100%.

    I'm pretty sure the line goes

    You wanted out, BUT you Get pulled right the fuck back in

    Also, this verse, I've always thought he said

    You get the girl, You lose the girl, The girl WANTS back but YOU'VE already moved on

    Other than that, I've got no qualms with this transcription. Not entirely sure what the meaning of the song is, but it seems to be dealing with regrets.

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
