I know he said we'd be together
In my mind and then forever
But things have changed they're not the same
How can we go on lovin' this way

You say you love me but you really don't
You want to argue and I just won't
It's bad enough I have to come home to
A man who puts me in a real bad

I want to be free
From the love
From the pain
From the heartache

[Repeat: x2]
You're causing me

It just seemed fair
To blame it on you
All these problems
That we're going through sometimes it's me who gets you upset
But when it's you
You won't admit it

We try to talk but we must understand
So I stay quiet and you get all mad
It's bad enough
I have to come home to
A man who puts me in a real bad mood

I want to be free
From the love
From the pain
From the heartache

[Repeat: x4]
You're causing me

I don't know what I'm gonna do
After all that I did for you (what?)
Just showed you love
I stayed true

But it seems it still won't do
All you go fussin' and cussin' (uh huh)
At each other like we enemies
Goin' against the grain

With nothing but negative energy (whatever)
I'm not saying
That I ain't got no faults
And I'm perfect

But all this stressin' me
Me stressin' you
Tell me is it worth it
On the phone

With your friends
Puttin' 'em in our business
We might as well go on Jerry Springer
And get it off the ringer (alright then)

I want to be free
From the love
From the pain
From the heartache

[Repeat: x6]
You're causing me

Your causing me
Your causing me
Yeah
Ooh

Oh
I want to
(I want to be free)
(I want to be free)

Ooh
(I want to be free)
Free
Why you causing me so much pain

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.

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."
