He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Ooh, yeah, ain't that cute?
My mama told me I'm too young to love
But I know what I know and I can't get enough
I'm thinking 'bout you and me holding hands
Pushing you on a swing
We can do anything
'Cause when I think of you all I know
Is that there's nothing I won't do to be with you
Ain't that cute? Holding hands in the park
Ain't that cute? Can't stay late after dark
Ain't that cute? Was in love from the start
Ain't that cute? I could swear you stole my heart
Ain't that cute?
I often wonder the meaning of love
Is it something meant for just grown-ups?
Nick always told me just to follow my dreams
But with love on my mind it is so hard to see
And still I think of you, all I know
Is that there's nothing I won't do to be with you
Ain't that cute? Holding hands in the park
Ain't that cute? Can't stay late after dark
Ain't that cute? Was in love from the start
Ain't that cute? I could swear you stole my heart
It's true
If I'm wrong, then tell me, girl
What I should do
Or would you even care
If I told you love could be so simple
Between me and you?
Oh, tell me
Ain't that cute? Holding hands in the park
Ain't that cute? Can't stay late after dark
Ain't that cute? Was in love from the start
Ain't that cute? I could swear you stole my heart
Ain't that cute?
Ain't that cute?
My mama told me I'm too young to love
But I know what I know and I can't get enough
I'm thinking 'bout you and me holding hands
Pushing you on a swing
We can do anything
'Cause when I think of you all I know
Is that there's nothing I won't do to be with you
Ain't that cute? Holding hands in the park
Ain't that cute? Can't stay late after dark
Ain't that cute? Was in love from the start
Ain't that cute? I could swear you stole my heart
Ain't that cute?
I often wonder the meaning of love
Is it something meant for just grown-ups?
Nick always told me just to follow my dreams
But with love on my mind it is so hard to see
And still I think of you, all I know
Is that there's nothing I won't do to be with you
Ain't that cute? Holding hands in the park
Ain't that cute? Can't stay late after dark
Ain't that cute? Was in love from the start
Ain't that cute? I could swear you stole my heart
It's true
If I'm wrong, then tell me, girl
What I should do
Or would you even care

Between me and you?
Oh, tell me
Ain't that cute? Holding hands in the park
Ain't that cute? Can't stay late after dark
Ain't that cute? Was in love from the start
Ain't that cute? I could swear you stole my heart
Ain't that cute?
Ain't that cute?

Fortnight

Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
alright. i don't listen to aaron carter, i actually think his music is really funny. but seriuosly, you people saying he should die and shit like that, it's pathetic. i've got a lot more respect for kristen than all of you. she might be ignorant to other music... but who cares. she sticks up for herself, and i respect that. but you people think it's funny to make fun of a kid you never met. and yes, he doesn't write his own songs... he doesn't even like the music he plays. i heard he actually listens to bands like the deftones, who are pretty good. and don't tell give me that self rigteous crap that you wouldn't make a fool of yourself like that for the amount of money he's making. because regardless of the fact that money isn't everything, he could retire before he's out of his teens, and i dunno about you, but i sure as hell wouldn't mind that.
