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”
That look was priceless
Don't let me get carried away
I've seen it before
And it still suites you the say
You catch on quick (you catch on quick)
As the cynics stop before
They give the same review (you catch on quick)
Oh that this is where, where the party is
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands
The abortion that you had left you
Clinically dead and made it All that much easier to lie
But its nothing that I'm proud of (no its nothing that I'm proud of)
Making an example out of you
Well this is phase one
This is the preview
Well this is phase one
Oh that this is where, where the party is
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
Don't act like you're the first one
I treat it like disease
Sure it's rough around the edges
It's the only thing you see
Don't act like you can't see me
Darling, coming...
Don't act like you can't see me
Darling, coming...
Don't act like you can't see me
Darling, coming...
Don't act like you can't see me coming
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance
You had your chance
You had your chance
Don't let me get carried away
I've seen it before
And it still suites you the say
You catch on quick (you catch on quick)
As the cynics stop before
They give the same review (you catch on quick)
Oh that this is where, where the party is
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
Are you comin' home? (are you comin' home?)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands
The abortion that you had left you
Clinically dead and made it All that much easier to lie
But its nothing that I'm proud of (no its nothing that I'm proud of)
Making an example out of you
Well this is phase one
This is the preview
Well this is phase one
Oh that this is where, where the party is

Don't act like you can't see me coming
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance (you had your chance)
Open arms reach out to soothing hands (reach out for soothing hands)
You had your chance
You had your chance
You had your chance

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."

Magical

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.
I don't agree with the parent/teenager thing. ^^
But I do think this is the best album on the CD, but not their best song. and I don't see how this has anything to do with FOB. Can someone agree?
