1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
It’s three AM and I got to get the fuck out of here
There’s people calling me
There’s a girl calling my phone

She’s still at the bar I had just left
And I, I wont go back
No, I won’t go back in

She has a boy back where she’s from
Which constitutes a set of rules that
I can’t conform to
OH!

She plays the game! She’s playing games
I’m doing drugs and doing fine
Ok, ok, ok, am I ok, ok, ok?

Ok, ok
Ok, ok

Hey, flip that morbid coin!
I’ll take this chance one more time
I’m already dead, I’m already dead
All those words, these bones, my corpse it said:

Oh my God!
No
Please say “no”!
Please say “no”!
No, No, No
She came over
She’s drunk, I’m drunk and I’m sold

Please let go!
Please kiddo.
Let go of my throat
Please let go?

I’m trying to cough my self to sleep
And you are way too sweet to me
I can’t say “no”

But I want to
Oh, I want to
I wish I could
But I don’t know how to
If you’d let me
I would touch you
Kiss your stomach
And feel your hips move

And now we’re getting too close
Yeah, she’s getting real close
I can tell that she’s been out of control tonight
Now, she’s touching my mouth
She’s getting rid of her pants
I can’t begin to begin to think about touching her… you know

She’s a girl that I could really marry
Settle down and have a couple kids with
No divorce; there are only happy endings
This sin will kiss and give and kiss again

Oh my God!
Oh my God! Oh my God! (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Please don’t move!
There’s a spider on you.

Take him out
Take him down, you take him out!
Take him out, now!

Fuck these dreams
What do they mean?
Where are you from?
What are they sayin’?
What do ya say?

Everybody… Let’s sing it all together now!

That girl is the most
That girl is the most
That girl is a ghost
That girl is the most

It’s five AM and I gotta get myself into bed
I’m back at home
I’m better alone, yeah

Dear Danielle, I’m writing you to tell you that I
I want to be good
I wanted to kiss you

I swear I won’t give up on giving up when I’m not
Really ready or
Really supposed to

It’s ok if you don’t understand. I don’t
Understand it
Quite, myself

And even though
We both know
We talk and talk and outline our bodies in chalk

We both agree
That this should be easy… shouldn’t it?
Couldn’t it?
What do you say? What do you say?

    it seems like they're both drunk/high, and he's fighting not to take advantage of the situation, because although he's not completely sober he's still somewhat in a good state of mind, so he tries changing the subject by telling her there's a spider on her and then he leaves because he thinks he could really have a relationship with her and he doesn't want to mess things up.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
