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.
There are times in the summer, lying next to you
When I swore I knew what we were born to do
That was youth and part of its beauty
I'm a lucky soul to have these memories
I will always hold them as a part of me
Live your life, I hope you find meaning
Love is always true
Past through but I'm always a part of you
Past through and you broke my heart
Past through but on the way you taught me
To remember who we are when we're apart
And the future is there, it's right in front of me
But How does one prepare for that which he can't see?
Close your eyes, you'll find it within yourself
And I know you're scared, you lack security
And you're unprepared to let go completely
But in time, you'll see that I'm with you
Love is always true
Past through but I'm always a part of you
Past through and you broke my heart
Past through but on the way you taught me
To remember who we are when we're apart
I'll love you til the end
I'll love you til the sun burns out
And you learn how a friend
Is more than time you spent
It's more than time could never mend
Time will never mend this
Past through but I'm always a part of you
Past through and you broke my heart
Past through but on the way you taught me
To remember who we are when we're apart
When I swore I knew what we were born to do
That was youth and part of its beauty
I'm a lucky soul to have these memories
I will always hold them as a part of me
Live your life, I hope you find meaning
Love is always true
Past through but I'm always a part of you
Past through and you broke my heart
Past through but on the way you taught me
To remember who we are when we're apart
And the future is there, it's right in front of me
But How does one prepare for that which he can't see?
Close your eyes, you'll find it within yourself
And I know you're scared, you lack security
And you're unprepared to let go completely
But in time, you'll see that I'm with you
Love is always true
Past through but I'm always a part of you
Past through and you broke my heart
Past through but on the way you taught me
To remember who we are when we're apart
I'll love you til the end
I'll love you til the sun burns out
And you learn how a friend
Is more than time you spent
It's more than time could never mend
Time will never mend this
Past through but I'm always a part of you
Past through and you broke my heart
Past through but on the way you taught me
To remember who we are when we're apart

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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”
wow. so much meaning to this song. it's about someone who knows who he wants to be with forever but realizes that "time will never mend this". She broke his heart, but he will still love her forever. People often say that they never really loved someone after they break up because they are hurt, this song goes against that. Ronnie is saying that "love is always true" and that if you loved someone, even if they hurt you, you still loved them and that will always stay with you. When you love, it is a pure feeling - it is true. You can't fake love.
