I don't know why sometimes we seems so hard
Sewn together with a broken heart
I try to see you but it's getting dark

Words keep flowing out, I wonder what they mean
You're like a little piece of kerosene
But girl you've always been a friend to me

And I've been too proud sometimes
Chasin' fault lines

Oh no, I'm gonna be there always
After the pain has gone away
The feelings are so strong
This can be our song
This can be our song

Oh no, I'll never make you cry again
I'm gonna set things right again
And I won't let 'em go wrong
This can be our song
This can be our song

I don't know if someone else could handle me
I don't know what I'm suppose to be
You're the only one who really sees
You get me

I feel something growing deep inside of me
What I say and what I mean
Always seems to disagree
So help me through this hard time
Change these fault lines

Oh no, I'm gonna be there always
After the pain has gone away
The feelings are so strong
This can be our song
This can be our song

Oh no, I'll never make you cry again
I'm gonna set things right again
And I won't let 'em go wrong
This can be our song
This can be our song

Oh oh, whoa oh

Oh no, I'm gonna be there always
After the pain has gone away
The feelings are so strong
This can be our song
This can be our song

Oh no, I'll never make you cry again
I'm gonna set things right again
And I won't let 'em go wrong
This can be our song
This can be our song

(Oh oh) This can be our song
This can be our song

(Oh oh) This can be our song
This can be our song

Oh no, oh no
This can be our song
This can be our song

    My Interpretation

    I think this song is about a guy who really cares for a girl, but their relationship seems strained every now and then. It's like they feel so distant sometimes, because he might have hurt her in the past or they might have broken up at one point, but he just wants to be with her and for things to get better. They say things they don't quite understand, and someone ends up getting hurt from their words. But even when this happens, he knows that she was always there for him and hopes that she will be in the future, too. He never wanted to admit defeat or any of his faults; he would try and conceal his flaws But now he promises that he will stand by her and always be there for her. He still patiently waits for her emotional wounds to heal, while he knows that they both still have feelings for each other. This song is like his official promise to her, and doesn’t want it to be forgotten. He then promises that he won't ever hurt her again, and how he will get their relationship back to the way it should be. He recognizes that he has flaws and that she is the only one who understands him and accepts him for the way he is, even though he doesn't completely who he is. She still gets him. His feelings of contrition and love for her swell up, to the point where he does exactly say what he means. He wants her to stay with him and help him break from his flaws. This song always reminded me of this strange friendship/relationship thing between me and this other guy; we were best friends and then dated for a short time and then we back to friends but we still had feelings for each other. Weird and confusing…..but mostly confusing.

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.

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
