This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You call me a dog, well, that's fair enough
'Cause it ain't no use to pretend you're wrong
And you call me out, I can't hide anymore
I have no disguise you can't see through
You say it's bad luck to have fallen for me
What can I do to make it good for you?
You wore me out like an old winter coat
Trying to be safe from the cold
Oh, when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all, ooh
You call me a dog
And you tell me I'm low 'cause I've slept on the floor
And out in the woods with the badgers and wolves
You threw me out 'cause I went digging for gold
And I came home with a handful of coal
But when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all
And when it's my time
To call your bluff
I'll call you beautiful or leave it alone, yeah
You call me a dog
And that's fair enough
It doesn't bother me as long as you know
The bad luck will follow you
If you keep me on a leash and you drag me along
And when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all
And when it's my time
To call your bluff, ooh
I'll call you beautiful
I'll leave it alone, yeah, yeah
You call me dog
'Cause it ain't no use to pretend you're wrong
And you call me out, I can't hide anymore
I have no disguise you can't see through
You say it's bad luck to have fallen for me
What can I do to make it good for you?
You wore me out like an old winter coat
Trying to be safe from the cold
Oh, when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all, ooh
You call me a dog
And you tell me I'm low 'cause I've slept on the floor
And out in the woods with the badgers and wolves
You threw me out 'cause I went digging for gold
And I came home with a handful of coal
But when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all
And when it's my time
To call your bluff
I'll call you beautiful or leave it alone, yeah
You call me a dog
And that's fair enough
It doesn't bother me as long as you know
The bad luck will follow you
If you keep me on a leash and you drag me along
And when it's my time
To throw the next stone
I'll call you beautiful
If I call at all
And when it's my time
To call your bluff, ooh
I'll call you beautiful
I'll leave it alone, yeah, yeah
You call me dog

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think two people are in a relationship and one person loves the other, but can't get over certain events in their past, ei..."You tell me I'm low 'cause I've slept on the floor". This person continues to berate the other and when "it's [his] time to call your bluff" for everything that she claims to be, he can't because he is so in love with every other aspect of her and can't bear to take her from the pedastal he's put her on.
Chris Cornell has one of the, if not, greatest voices in rock. He writes killer lyrics too.
