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”
A pictures worth a thousand words
But not worth the words I need to hear
I miss you so much that it hurts
Tonight, I wish you were here with me
So I could make you see
The stars, they lay across the sky so perfectly
They remind me of
All the times, when we used to sit underneath them, the summer nights
And fall in love
Its not alright, it's our last night together
I won't give up, I can't let go, of you.
I can't let go of you.
Tonight, I close my eyes and dream that she
is still the one, laying there beside me
I'd walk a thousand miles
I'd swim across the sea
What do I have to do, please just tell me
But not worth the words I need to hear
I miss you so much that it hurts
Tonight, I wish you were here with me
So I could make you see
The stars, they lay across the sky so perfectly
They remind me of
All the times, when we used to sit underneath them, the summer nights
And fall in love
Its not alright, it's our last night together
I won't give up, I can't let go, of you.
I can't let go of you.
Tonight, I close my eyes and dream that she
is still the one, laying there beside me
I'd walk a thousand miles
I'd swim across the sea
What do I have to do, please just tell me

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

A pictures worth a thousand words But not worth the words I need to hear
That's one of the best lines in a song ever. It really sums up the whole song for you. He misses her so much and there's no way that pictures (or memories, etc.) could ever fill the hole he feels. I really love this song.
what a heartbreaking song .. beautiful..
LOVE!! this is an amazing matchbook song, i'm going to see them next month i cant wait!!! amaaaaazzzzzzzziiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg lyrics! just look at them for yourself! they're perfect!!
this song is remembering an ex and wishing you could have her back becasue memories dont fill the void.
"this is our last night together"
it kinda seems like he knows its about to be over
this song is awesome, the lyrics are just beautiful, awesome song, matchbook romance seem to tie in the breakup and relationship factor in every song there awesome, this songs so beautiful
Wow... thats all i have to say. This is great!
i dont take this as a breakup...just a long parting and being away from the one you love...."Its not alright, it's our last night together I won't give up, I can't let go, of you. I can't let go of you" hes not giving up on her but its thier last night together and pcitures cant do justice to her
my favourite part in this song is: "The stars, they lay across the sky so perfectly They remind me of All the times, when we used to sit underneath them, those summer nights And fall in love "
i think that is just soo cute. this song is TERRIFIC, I LOVE MATCHBOOK ROMANCE!!!
