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.

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”
You say I made you fall in love with me
Wish I could make you fall in love with you
You believed in the magic that us could be
And what that you and I means one could do
Every instinct you had said run from me
That this new found touch is uncomfortable
And to truly stand naked in front of me
Yourself for that then matter is something new
I take no pride knowing that
You avoid the mirror to shun what you despise
Never knew the beauty you came here with
'Til the first time you caught your reflection in my eyes
Never you mind what I see in you
Grow because you're beautiful, not because I need you to
Grow 'til you outstretch every single piece of you
Heaven will see you through but you gotta believe it's true
Go write your story
Even if, in the end, you might outgrow me
I'll always treasure the chapter that was mine
And twist through time with a smile knowing you're free
Puppy love is real to a puppy
I still wanna feel you touch me
I'm not saying leave me, please just be free
I love you so much, I don't want you to leave me
Puppy love's real to a puppy
I still wanna feel you up under me
Not saying leave me, please just be free
I love you so much, I don't want you to leave me
The sky all alone is glorious
We behold it but we cant hold it up
When god says that's it and hits the switch
It'll all come tumbling down when it's bored with us
Sweet you and all your radiance
I can please you, but I can't save you
I adore you and might even open up
But even I can't love you enough for both of us
Can't hold you close enough
Can't enter the holes you've boarded up
Close you're eyes, concentrate on my voice
Wanna make your love for me pure, make it a choice
Puppy love's real to a puppy
I still wanna feel you touch me
I'm not saying leave me, please just be free
I love you so much, I don't want you to leave me
Puppy love's real to a puppy
I still wanna feel you up under me
I'm not saying leave me, please just be free
I love you so much, I don't want you to leave me
The sky is there to behold
You just wanna be held when your cold
Just grow, stretch out your soul
And if you still want me I'll watch you grow old
The sky is there to behold
You just wanna be held when your cold
Just grow, stretch out your soul
And if you still want me I'll watch you grow old
Wish I could make you fall in love with you
You believed in the magic that us could be
And what that you and I means one could do
Every instinct you had said run from me
That this new found touch is uncomfortable
And to truly stand naked in front of me
Yourself for that then matter is something new
I take no pride knowing that
You avoid the mirror to shun what you despise
Never knew the beauty you came here with
'Til the first time you caught your reflection in my eyes
Never you mind what I see in you
Grow because you're beautiful, not because I need you to
Grow 'til you outstretch every single piece of you
Heaven will see you through but you gotta believe it's true
Go write your story
Even if, in the end, you might outgrow me
I'll always treasure the chapter that was mine
And twist through time with a smile knowing you're free
Puppy love is real to a puppy
I still wanna feel you touch me
I'm not saying leave me, please just be free
I love you so much, I don't want you to leave me
Puppy love's real to a puppy
I still wanna feel you up under me
Not saying leave me, please just be free
I love you so much, I don't want you to leave me
The sky all alone is glorious
We behold it but we cant hold it up
When god says that's it and hits the switch

I'm not saying leave me, please just be free
I love you so much, I don't want you to leave me
The sky is there to behold
You just wanna be held when your cold
Just grow, stretch out your soul
And if you still want me I'll watch you grow old
The sky is there to behold
You just wanna be held when your cold
Just grow, stretch out your soul
And if you still want me I'll watch you grow old

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
