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”
Every time I leave you say you won't be there
And you're always there
Every time I cry your name at night
You pull close and say it's alright
I look in your eyes, just like the rain
Washing me, rain wash over me
Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat
Echo in my head like a scream
What you do to me!
Waited so long I can't wait another day without you
Jet city woman
It's a long way, home to my
Jet city woman
I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind
Whenever I'm alone I'm thinking
There's a part missing from my life
Wonder where I'd be without your love
Holding me together now I'm
Watching the time tick, tick away
Face grows longer every day
Fortunes are lost on the women I've seen
But without you I can't breathe, you're the air to me!
Waited so long I can't wait another day without you?
Jet city woman got to find my way home to her
Jet city woman I see her face everywhere I look!
Jet city woman just a thousand miles and I'll be there
Jet city woman, to make the clouds go away
Time for some blue sky!
Waited so long now the plane's delayed an hour
Reminds me of all our days apart
Hold on, just a little longer
Jet city woman Wonder where I'd be, you're the air to me
Jet city woman Eyes like the rain, rain down on me
Jet city woman No more nights alone
I'm almost home now Jet city woman
Close my eyes, I'm there in my jet city, jet city
And you're always there
Every time I cry your name at night
You pull close and say it's alright
I look in your eyes, just like the rain
Washing me, rain wash over me
Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat
Echo in my head like a scream
What you do to me!
Waited so long I can't wait another day without you
Jet city woman
It's a long way, home to my
Jet city woman
I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind
Whenever I'm alone I'm thinking
There's a part missing from my life
Wonder where I'd be without your love
Holding me together now I'm
Watching the time tick, tick away
Face grows longer every day
Fortunes are lost on the women I've seen
But without you I can't breathe, you're the air to me!
Waited so long I can't wait another day without you?
Jet city woman got to find my way home to her
Jet city woman I see her face everywhere I look!
Jet city woman just a thousand miles and I'll be there
Jet city woman, to make the clouds go away
Time for some blue sky!
Waited so long now the plane's delayed an hour
Reminds me of all our days apart
Hold on, just a little longer
Jet city woman Wonder where I'd be, you're the air to me
Jet city woman Eyes like the rain, rain down on me
Jet city woman No more nights alone
I'm almost home now Jet city woman
Close my eyes, I'm there in my jet city, jet city

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."

Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
@omiya_alien Mostly you are right, this song is exactly about Geoff's wife.
