I follow you
Will I ever learn?
Your words are lies on a page
We've never had the chance to turn
I've been here before
It ain't hard to see
Your sky is crumbling down
But you can't blame gravity

When I move, you move
And so we run in place
We're chasing tails
Running circles in this empty space
With no light we fight to keep this love ablaze
So let me be the one to put you out

So if you're gonna start a fire
You better burn me now
Tell me who's gonna touch your flame
When the doors are closed and the air runs out

So if you're gonna make your move
Come on show me how
Tell me who's gonna touch your flame
When there's no one left
Better burn me now

Are you all alone
Laying in the dark
Wishing someone would come along
And start your frozen heart
I'm still waiting here
It ain't hard to see
You're just hanging around
Barely out of reach

When I move, you move
And so we run in place
We're chasing tails
Running circles in this empty space

So if you're gonna start a fire
You better burn me now
Tell me who's gonna touch your flame
When the doors are closed and the air runs out

So if you're gonna make your move
C'mon show me how
Tell me who's gonna touch your flame
When there's no one left
Better burn me now
Better burn me now
You better burn me now
Better burn me now

When I move, you move
And so we run in place
We're chasing tails
Running circles in this empty space
With no light we fight to keep this love ablaze
So let me be the one to put you out

So if you're gonna start a fire
You better burn me now
Tell me who's gonna touch your flame
When the doors are closed and the air runs out

So if you're gonna make your move
C'mon show me how
Tell me who's gonna touch your flame
When there's no one left
You better burn me now
You better burn me now

So let me be the one to put you out
So let me be the one to put you out

If you're gonna start a fire
You better burn me now

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.
