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.
All I know is that you're so nice
You're the nicest thing I've seen
I wish that we could give it a go
See if we could be something
I wish I was your favorite girl
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world
I wish my smile was your favorite kind of smile
I wish the way that I dressed was your favorite kind of style
I wish you couldn't figure me out
But you'd always wanna know what I was about
I wish you'd hold my hand
When I was upset
I wish you'd never forget
The look on my face when we first met
I wish you had a favorite beauty spot
That you loved secretly
'Cause it was on a hidden bit
That nobody else could see
Basically, I wish that you loved me
I wish that you needed me
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars
Actually I meant three
I wish that without me your heart would break
Yeah, I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake
I wish that without me you couldn't eat
Yeah, I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep
Look, all I know is that
You're the nicest thing I've ever seen
And I wish we could see if we could be something
Yeah, I wish we could see if we could be something
You're the nicest thing I've seen
I wish that we could give it a go
See if we could be something
I wish I was your favorite girl
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world
I wish my smile was your favorite kind of smile
I wish the way that I dressed was your favorite kind of style
I wish you couldn't figure me out
But you'd always wanna know what I was about
I wish you'd hold my hand
When I was upset
I wish you'd never forget
The look on my face when we first met
I wish you had a favorite beauty spot
That you loved secretly
'Cause it was on a hidden bit
That nobody else could see
Basically, I wish that you loved me
I wish that you needed me
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars
Actually I meant three
I wish that without me your heart would break
Yeah, I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake
I wish that without me you couldn't eat
Yeah, I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep
Look, all I know is that
You're the nicest thing I've ever seen
And I wish we could see if we could be something
Yeah, I wish we could see if we could be something

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift

The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I'm in 2 minds about this song, I think it has a really nice sentiment, and simple lyrics about an innocent love, but on the other hand i think its seriosly cheesey :
wish that you needed me, I wish that you knew when I said two sugars, actually I meant three.
nice rhyming.
basicali this song sounds like a cross between lily allen and sandi thom on tranqulizers. it's all heart no talent!
I'd rather have heart and little talent. She does have talent. I love having a meaning behind the song.
P.S. She has done very little to this song. Simple tune behind the lyrics and a small danty voice and she's done well. So many people think this song is beatiful. Not many songs or artist can do that. It speaks for itself.
It is a beautiful song. Yes, the lyrics are simple, but that's one of the things about it that's so great. It's realistic. She wants the little, amazing things in love, like the fact that the guy knows that she actually wants more sugar than what she says. The wonder in love is that other person knowing you better than anyone else. She wants those simple, wondrous things that we experience when we are in love. She is a very talented artist. This song can make me cry because I can relate so well. She connects to the everyday person. They are the exact feelings that many people experience. She has a beautiful voice that has so much emotion behind it. As she sings, you believe her words, like she's really feeling what she's singing about. It's a gorgeous song.
Crazee, I felt the same way about the song when I first heard it, I thought was simple/cheesy and I didn't care to listen to it, I would always skip it. However, I gave it another listen and realized why it was so simple. Kellygreener above explains it very well; it's simply a want for reciprocation. I feel like everyone has experienced this; like a crush, reminds me of my first one.
