My eyes burn from these tears.
You think you'd learn over these years that good things won't, last forever.

So what the hell am I supossed to do?
You only wanted the things that I couldn't give to you.
And you had it all anyway..

So take, take everything, and leave me scrambling, reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place.
So take, take everything, and leave me scrambling, reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place.

Tell me I'm wrong when I say, I can't expect you, to spend forever with me.
I live for that single moment.

I take back everything I said.
You wore, those words on your lips as if they, meant anything anyways.

Sometimes I feel I could drop off the face of the earth.
It seems I do more harm than good,
And I don't know if it's worth me loosing sleep over this.

So take, take everything, and leave me scrambling, reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place.
So take, take everything, and leave me scrambling, reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place.

Tell me I'm wrong when I say, I can't expect you, to spend forever with me.
I live for that single moment.

So take, take everything, and leave me scrambling, reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place.
So take, take everything, and leave me scrambling, reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place.
So take, take everything, and leave me scrambling, reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place.

    Brilliant song, one of my favourite Matchbook Romance songs. "Take Take everything, and leave me scrambling, reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place"

    Dammit...This is like when someone just kinda shits on you and leaves you, and sometimes as much as you want to hate them you just can't. And you always reach out, or hang onto the hope of that person rekindling something for you...even though you know that 'something' (love) wasn't there in the first place, and never will be.

    This song speaks volumes to me, the more I listen to these guys the more and more I like them

Mountain Song
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."
