You got what I'm looking for.
I got what you came here for.
You got what I need
And I want to start spending it now.

Through distance and time
We lose our confinement.
Few months go by
Years I might die.
So here in my mind
I dream of the time
I can get you alone
So close and alone.

'Cause you got what I'm looking for.
I got what you came here for.
You know what we need
And we need each other.

I want but I can't afford
You know what I'm saving for.
You know what we need
And I want it now.

The freeways are packed
And my fuel's burning.
I can't turn back
The exits are stacked.
So I sit here instead
And I try to forget
That I want you alone
So close and alone.

'Cause you got what I'm looking for.
I got what you came here for.
You know what we need
And we need each other.

I want but I can't afford
You know what I'm saving for.
You know what we need
And I want it now.

So don't hide your heart's desire
Let me light your soul on fire.
One crazy interview when I get alone

And she said, "Not without that ring on my hand.
We can't go further."
And I said, "Wait until you see what I've got,
What I've got in store for you then."

You got what I'm looking for.
I got what you came here for.
You know what we need
And we need each other.

You got what I'm looking for.
I got what you came here for.
You know what we need
And we need each other.

I want but I can't afford
You know what I'm saving for.
You know what we need
And I want it now.

So don't hide your heart's desire
Let me light your soul on fire.
One crazy interview when I get alone with you.

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
