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”
Whoa, I need a man to love me
Don't you understand me, baby?
Why, I need a man to love
I gotta find him, I gotta have him like the air I breathe
One lovin' man to understand can't be too much to need
You know it
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be this loneliness
Baby, surrounding me
No, no, know it just can't be
No it just can't be
There's got to be some kind of answer
No it just can't be
And everywhere I look, there's none around
No it just can't be
Whoa, it can't be
No it just can't be, oh no!
Whoa, hear me now
Whoa, won't you let me hold you ?
Honey, just close your eyes
Whoa, won't you let me hold you, dear ?
I want to just put my arms around ya, like the circles going 'round the sun
Let me hold you daddy, at least until the morning comes
Because it
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be now
Oh no
Can't be this loneliness
Baby, surrounding me
No, no, no it just can't be
No it just can't be
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, just can't be
No, no, no
No it just can't be
And why can't anyone ever tell me, now ?
No it just can't be
I wake up one morning, I realize
No it just can't be
Whoa, it can't be
No it just can't be
Now go!
Whoa, I need a man to love me
Oh, maybe you can help me, please
Why, I need a man to love
But I believe that someday and somehow it's bound to come along
Because when all my dreams and all my plans just cannot turn out wrong
You know it
Can't be now Oh no
Can't be now Oh no
Can't be now Oh no
Can't be now Oh no
Can't be now Oh no
Can't be just loneliness
Baby, surrounding me
No, no, no, it just can't be
No it just can't be
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, it just can't be
No it just can't be
And who could be foolin' me ?
No it just can't be
I've got all this happiness
No it just can't be
Come, come, come on, come on, come on, and help me now
No it just can't be
Please, can't you hear my cry ?
No it just can't be
Whoa, help
Don't you understand me, baby?
Why, I need a man to love
I gotta find him, I gotta have him like the air I breathe
One lovin' man to understand can't be too much to need

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
she's lonely and confessing her love for someone she really wants.
the first time i heard this i thought she was singing about kb. totally irrelevant, but a great song.
