Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.
The trouble with truth
Is it never lies,
And the trouble with wrong
Is that it's never right,
So I rest my head
Under your light.
The trouble with peace
Is it never fights,
And the trouble with love
Is that it's always blind.
I want to walk to the edge of it tonight
And I fall down.
I'm on my knees
'Cause your everything I need,
And I've made a mess of myself on my own.
Well I am on my face
And I'm calling out your name,
And I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home.
The trouble with tears
Is that they dry,
And the trouble with faith
Made me wanna cry.
I've never felt so much
Like I'm alive,
I wanna
Open my eyes and see your face.
If I have to wait a thousand days,
I'd still be right here
Right next to you.
And I fall down,
I'm on my knees
'Cause your everything I need,
And I've made a mess of myself on my own.
And now I am on my face
And I'm calling out your name,
And I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home.
And I won't run away,
I won't run away,
I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home.
And I know I haven't always been
Where you wanted me
I'm standin' here, arms out
Broken down
Before you
I know I haven't always been,
Where you wanted me,
Standin' here, arms out
Broken down
I'm on my knees
'Cause your everything I need,
And I've made a mess of myself on my own.
And now I am on my face
And I'm calling out your name,
And I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home.
Is it never lies,
And the trouble with wrong
Is that it's never right,
So I rest my head
Under your light.
The trouble with peace
Is it never fights,
And the trouble with love
Is that it's always blind.
I want to walk to the edge of it tonight
And I fall down.
I'm on my knees
'Cause your everything I need,
And I've made a mess of myself on my own.
Well I am on my face
And I'm calling out your name,
And I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home.
The trouble with tears
Is that they dry,
And the trouble with faith
Made me wanna cry.
I've never felt so much
Like I'm alive,
I wanna
Open my eyes and see your face.
If I have to wait a thousand days,
I'd still be right here
Right next to you.
And I fall down,
I'm on my knees
'Cause your everything I need,
And I've made a mess of myself on my own.
And now I am on my face
And I'm calling out your name,
And I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home.
And I won't run away,
I won't run away,
I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home.
And I know I haven't always been
Where you wanted me
I'm standin' here, arms out
Broken down
Before you
I know I haven't always been,
Where you wanted me,
Standin' here, arms out
Broken down
I'm on my knees
'Cause your everything I need,
And I've made a mess of myself on my own.
And now I am on my face
And I'm calling out your name,
And I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home.

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.

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
@justinszg I think that may be the song Polly by Nirvana you're talking about.
