As I stare through these tears,
I see your lips start to turn.
This world is so un-perfect,
this love is so un-worth it.

Won't be mistaken for another love song,
I won't go away, I won't be done wrong.
Tell me, tell me to, to live like you,
tell me, tell me, and I'll follow through.

Get up, get up, He's calling your name,
you don't have to be something you're not.
Someday came suddenly and now I'm standing here.
Get up, get up, He's calling your name,
you don't have to be something you're not.
Someday came suddenly and now I'm left standing here.

As I stare through these tears,
I see your lips start to turn.
This world is so un-perfect,
this love is so un-worth it.
When you're here I don't need all the things I had,
Once before I was someone but that's not who I am.

I'll be the best I can for you,
I'll take this chance you will be true.
Tell me your reason why,
tell me why you're alive.

To give to you my sin,
to give myself again.

And this is my call to the faithful,
I'll be for only you.
Doing what you, have called to me,
no one could ever understand,
my shame you took with those nails in your hands.

Get up, get up, He's calling your name,
you don't have to be something you're not.
Someday came suddenly and now I'm standing here.
Get up, get up, He's calling your name,
you don't have to be something you're not.
Someday came suddenly.

Here's to selfish living out the window,
here's to the Holy Ghost, I will be faithful.

Here's to you I bring you new life.
Here's to you I bring you new life

    Yeah, it's about dedicating your life to God as barcode said.

    The breakdown is pretty awesome, and obviously it's about taking a chance that God may not be real, but he's gonna have faith in his God's existence

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
