and i know the way i say it
i know the way youll take it
standing up

and i know the way you fake it
i know the way youll make it

and its so sad
that its like that
your in over your head (2x)

and ive been thinking that the truth will follow you
but its hard to believe
and youve been thinking that im not the one for you
but its hard to believe

and youre the oil
and you have laid across the street
positive your new location
is the place my tires will meet
you are the ambulance im in
and you stop to see the scenery and know im dyin and
ive been thinking about the plans you ruined and
ive been thinking about the shots fired with those eyes
ive been thinking about the way your mouth moved when
when you told me you said this time it was goodbye
this time it was goodbye

and ive been thinking that the truth will follow you
but its hard to believe
and youve been thinking that im not the one for you
but its hard to believe

bacteria that im breathing
or chances you have to see me
at your very best and bleeding
this is the way youll be leaving

at your very best and bleeding
this is the way youll be leaving

at your very best and bleeding
this is the way youll be leaving

at your very best and bleeding
this is the way youll be leaving

and this is the way youll be leaving
this is the way youll be leaving

and i know the way i say it
i know the way youll take it
standing up

and i know the way you fake it
i know the way youll make it

at your very best and bleeding
this is the way youll be leaving

you always try to see me
(this is the way)

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."
