I'm falling into words
I never knew
I never meant to say the words
"I love you"
But it's in my heart
And it feels new
Is it true for you?
Is it true for you?

Of course you'd like to claim
That we'd be friends
It couldn't stay that way
'Cause we pretend
That I heard about
Your new boyfriend
Where did I go wrong?
Where did I go wrong?

I'm sorry I forgot your birthday
I'm sorry 'cause I'm a shit face
I thought it was on a Wednesday
A Monday or a Tuesday
It's all the same to me
So what would make you happy?
Tell me, 'cause I'm sorry
These colors that we bind
Look all the same to me

I know that you've been hurt
But in the end
I'd like to say it's worth
All the things that we did
Now you found me out
My inside stand
What I have done wrong?
What I have done wrong?

I'm sorry I forgot your birthday
I'm sorry 'cause I'm a shit face
I thought it was on a Wednesday
A Monday or a Tuesday
It's all the same to me
So what would make you happy?
Tell me, 'cause I'm sorry
These colors that we bind
Look all the same to me

I couldn't take the things
Away from you
I made mistakes
But so have you
We could have it work
But we lost
When you know
You didn't have to
You didn't have to
Didn't have to

I'm sorry I forgot your birthday
I thought it was on a Wednesday
What did all your friends say?
They're all the same to me
So what would make you happy?
Tell me, 'cause I'm sorry
These days, they go by
Feel all the same to me
Feel all the same to me
Feel all the same to me
Feel all the same to me
Feel all the same to me

    I didn't listen that hard either when I typed up these lyrics (it was at 3 AM, too), obviously, but I'm pretty certain that it is "Feel all the same to me," not "You are the the same to me."

    CORRECT LYRICS (from their official site):

    I'm falling into words I never knew, I never meant to say the words, "I love you" But it's in my heart and it feels new Is it true for you, is it true for you?

    Of course you'd like to play that we'd be friends, It couldn't stay that way 'cause we'd pretend, But then I heard about your new boyfriend Where did I go wrong, where did I go wrong?

    I'm sorry I forgot your birthday, I'm sorry 'cause I'm a shit face I thought it was on a Wednesday, A Monday or a Tuesday, It's all the same to me So what will make you happy? Tell me 'cause I'm sorry These colors that we find Look all the same to me

    I know that you've been hurt but in the end, I'd like to say it's worth all the things that we did But now you've found me out, my inside's dead What I have done wrong, what I have done wrong?

    I'm sorry I forgot your birthday, I'm sorry 'cause I'm a shit face I thought it was on a Wednesday, A Monday or a Tuesday, It's all the same to me So what will make you happy? Tell me 'cause I'm sorry These colors that we find Look all the same to me

    I couldn't take those things away from you I've made mistakes, but so have you We could have made it work but we lost When you left and you didn't have to, You didn't have to, didn't have to

    I'm sorry I forgot your birthday, I thought it was on a Wednesday What did all your friends say? They're all the same to me So what would make you happy? Tell me 'cause I'm sorry These days, they go by Feel all the same to me Feel all the same to me Feel all the same to me Feel all the same to me Feel all the same to me

    what's being said at the end of the track? it's muffled and spoken. i'm not sure what the words are.

    The message at the end of the song is someone's voicemail. There's a lot of party background noise. I think it says, "I'm not here to answer my cellphone right now. But if you leave your name and your number, I'll get back to you as soon as I can. And if it's your birthday this month, happy birthday."

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
