Who is the one I see across the table
Eyes that always seem so familiar
We sit alone so comfortably in the silence
If I touch you would you be surprised
Did we drift out closer to a compromise

Oh have we lost what we had inside these, inside these lines
Could we watch it stay the same, all this time and just be fine
It's okay to see where we are, where we should be
But are we gonna find ourselves insides these lines, inside these lines
Inside these lines

Your skin is next to mine, I can feel you
We've learned to pass the time in the same room
So remind me of how the world stood still
We were shining, living just to taste the thrill

Oh have we lost what we had inside these, inside these lines
Could we watch it stay the same, all this time and just be fine
It's okay to see where we are, and where we should be
Are we gonna find ourselves inside these lines, inside these lines

Circle render me, yeah
With the lines we've drawn I believe that
Circle render me, yeah
With the lines we've drawn I believe that

Have we lost what we had inside these, inside these lines
Could we watch it stay the same, all this time and just be fine
It's okay to see where we are, and where we should be
Are we gonna find ourselves inside these lines, inside these lines

Are we gonna find ourselves
Are we gonna find ourselves inside these lines, inside these lines

    i find this song to be about two people that were in a past relationship when he says..

    "Whose the one I see, Across the table, Eyes that always seem, so familiar"

    to me it sounds that hes saying that its a person that comes in goes in his life when he says,"eyes that always seem, so familiar". and when he talks about a compromise i feel he is talking about if they have both realized the feelings they still have for one another.and all through the chores he speaks about if they could stay the same..meaning that he really still has strong feelings for her and he wants to be together and maybe she doesnt..and so on..its a sad and desperate song with a feeling of heart felt love and no being able to capture it or atleast have the other one feel the same..to me..its a song of my life..

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
