In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I don't want you to misunderstand me
I just want to say what's on my mind
No need to hit me with an attitude
Because I haven't got the time
I want you to know one thing is certain
I truly love your company
I won't take no if that's you answer
At least, that's my philosophy
Stay the night, there's room enough here for two
Stay the night, I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night, why don't we call it a day
No on can stop us, and nothing is in the way
It comes from friendly conversation
And if you still don't have a clue
Unless there's something else you've got in mind
We've got better things to do
Stay the night, there's room enough here for two
Stay the night, I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night, Why don't we call it a day
No one can stop us, and nothing is in the way
(Just to have you near me) Here by my side
(Just to have you near me) And when I get next to your body
(Just to have you near me) Oh
One thing I can tell you, we're gonna be fine
We're gonna have a very good time!
Stay the night, there's room enough here for two
Stay the night, I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night, Why don't we call it a day
No one can stop us, and nothing is in the way
Woooooh, woooooh, woooooh
No one can stop us, and nothing is in the way
What do you want to say?
Stay the night
Stay the night
I just want to say what's on my mind
No need to hit me with an attitude
Because I haven't got the time
I want you to know one thing is certain
I truly love your company
I won't take no if that's you answer
At least, that's my philosophy
Stay the night, there's room enough here for two
Stay the night, I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night, why don't we call it a day
No on can stop us, and nothing is in the way
It comes from friendly conversation
And if you still don't have a clue
Unless there's something else you've got in mind
We've got better things to do
Stay the night, there's room enough here for two
Stay the night, I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night, Why don't we call it a day
No one can stop us, and nothing is in the way
(Just to have you near me) Here by my side
(Just to have you near me) And when I get next to your body
(Just to have you near me) Oh
One thing I can tell you, we're gonna be fine
We're gonna have a very good time!
Stay the night, there's room enough here for two
Stay the night, I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night, Why don't we call it a day
No one can stop us, and nothing is in the way
Woooooh, woooooh, woooooh
No one can stop us, and nothing is in the way
What do you want to say?
Stay the night
Stay the night

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."

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.
This song is about doin it, Peter Cetera style! The video had a crazy car chase that ended with Peter Cetera in an ambulance driven by the woman he was chasing.
