I used to draw you pictures
Back in grade school
You never could quite make them out
But you said you thought they were cool
We made a really good team you and I
And our acid washed jeans
Looking back it was all so great
Vaurnet, Chip 'n Pepper, and Vanilla Ice tapes

It's hard to get over
That she comes out in October
I really wish I could show her
How things have changed
But now that we're so much older
I don't even really know her
Some day she'll come over
We could hang

I saw you in Cosmopolitan
And your hair was down
And everybody liked you
Remember way back when
Back in grade seven
Cause your hair was down
And everybody liked you

You were a smart girl
Favorite day was earth day
Forget what those jerks say
I dug you in the worst way
No doubt, cause you even went out
And bought me a Boys In The Hood
Sound track for my birthday

It's hard to get over
She comes out in October
Some day I could show her
Things have changed
But now that were so much older
I don't even really know her
Some day she'll come over
We can hang

Hang around
Hang around
Hang around
Hang around

And we could all tell
That you would be something
And we could all tell
Stories to our friends
And we could all tell
It was now or nothing
And we could all tell
You'd never be back again

Little Feat
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”

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."
