I try but I can't seem to get myself to think of
Anything but you
Your breath on my face your warm gentle kiss I taste
The truth, I taste the truth
We know what I came here for
So I won't ask for more

I want to be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight
I want to be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I want to be with you

So I'll hold you tonight like I would if you were mine
To hold forevermore
And I'll savor each touch that I've wanted so much
To feel before, to feel before
How beautiful it is
Just to be like this

I want to be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight
I want to be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I want to be with you

Oh, baby
I can't fight this feeling anymore
Drives me crazy when I try to
So call my name and take my hand
Can you make my wish, baby, your command?
Yeah

I want to be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight
I want to be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I want to be with you

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."
