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.
Having a bad day
Sitting on the floor
Singing a sad song tonight
How could it be
That something so easy
Never seems to turn out right
Sitting on the side of your bed
Sorry I broke your heart
Even with the gifts I gave you
Sorry I broke your heart
But I did
I did
You will
Understand, yeah
Cross my heart, I know the day
Will come when you see the light
But now I sleep alone on the bed I made
And hope everything turns out alright
Sorry that I made you cry
Doing the best I can
Trying to do what’s right
I’m trying to be a better man
And I will
And you will
Understand
You will
This is not goodbye
No, I got no regrets
And we don’t have to say goodbye, yeah
Oh, doing the best I can
Trying to do what’s right
And we don’t have to say goodbye
Goodnight, it’s just goodnight
Yeah, goodnight, it’s goodnight
Out of the fire there grows a tree
Designed to guiding light
And all of the beers and the tears you cry
Inspires sad songs tonight
Sitting on the side of my bed
Sorry I broke your heart
I think about the gift you gave me and
I’m sorry I broke your heart
But I did (Hurt so bad)
I did (You know I did)
Well, I did (Hurting me)
Well, I did
This is not goodbye
No, I got no regrets
And we don’t have to say goodbye, yeah
Oh, doing the best I can
Trying to do what’s right
And we don’t have to say goodbye
Tonight, it’s just goodnight, yeah
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
Sitting on the floor
Singing a sad song tonight
How could it be
That something so easy
Never seems to turn out right
Sitting on the side of your bed
Sorry I broke your heart
Even with the gifts I gave you
Sorry I broke your heart
But I did
I did
You will
Understand, yeah
Cross my heart, I know the day
Will come when you see the light
But now I sleep alone on the bed I made
And hope everything turns out alright
Sorry that I made you cry
Doing the best I can
Trying to do what’s right
I’m trying to be a better man

Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
These might not be 100% correct since I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere online and had to listen it through old-school, butttt I'm pretty sure I got the gist of it.
Meaning is self-explanatory. They can't make a bad song, can they?
