This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
i got to the car. drove far. decided to stay away. with my foot on the gas. drove past. all of the shit i needed to say. i've waited 'till now for the right time. i've waited 'till now for the right time to tell. i've waited 'till now for the right time. i've waited 'till now to open up to you. and i can't breathe. swimming with you is the hardest. everything you do is so true. swimming with you is the hardest thing. and i won't hold my breath. and i won't hold my breath when i'm with you

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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
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.
he doesnt know exactly what to say to the girl..and its hard to even breathe around her..
happens to me all too often..
woah, hello to simplisticdreams again... i love this song so much.
Been there.
he's trying to show this girl his heart, he knows what to say but would rather leave it be than trying to say anything that might make it awkward, he's found the time and once he's done it and told her how he feels he wont be at a loss for words ever again, he'll cherish there time together
alright ive thought about this song alot and i want to change some stuff, ok he's trying to show the girl how he feels, and im thinking by swimming with you he dosnt mean talking to her i think he means being real like expressing the way he feels about her, and at the momment he would'nt want to make things awkward so he talks around it and then he's found the time and once he's poured his heart out to her he wont ever keep his feelings felt for himself
at first i thought this song was about leaving someone. "and i won't hold my breath when i'm with you"
but now, maybe, i think it is about expressing how he feels to someone and not holding back.
Well, if he can't breathe when he's around her, it WOULD be quite hard to swim now wouldn't it? So if he's not holding his breath when he's swimming with her, he is most definitely drowning. Make sense?

i think its about waiting for someone to make up their mind and you want them to change things between you two. or just waiting for them to say "ok, i love you." but you know its probably not going to happen. so you won't hold your breath. and swimming is a difficult task if you don't hold your breath.
not being able to tell someone how he feels. i love this song. benton falls...so great..
