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.
I got a fake ID and a checklist
It goes never meet a girl on Craigslist
And never spend your money on a necklace
3 square meals, homie gotta have breakfast
Real shit, she be payin' for the date
I be on my Will Smith, Enemy of State
Keep my friends close, keep my enemies away
Like they own repellent, uh, they so jealous
I'mma do shit that just piss them off
Say you never heard me, it's your loss
They bitin' all my freestyles
They told me make my money frontin' on that weed style
I tell 'em I be too old for it
And I gave my brother my ID
She independent, bet these bitches never find me
I hope they don't find him though
'Cause they be knockin' on my door
Now they lookin' through my window
Tell me what you really want from me
Point blank, no discussion
Close mouth, close mouth, ow
I'll give it to you, no interruption
And tell me one time that you want me
I promise that I won't say nothin'
Sh-shut it up sh-sh-shut it up
I'll give it to you, no interruption
In your home, in your home
On the phone, on the phone
All alone, all alone
I'll give it to you no interruption
In your house, in your house
On the couch, on the couch
Name the time and the place and the function
I'll give it to you, no interruption
Talkin' money, I don't really give an F man
I got power like a motherfuckin' X-Man
Married to the game, but I'd rather be the best man
You be on the same shit, all day, s-pin
Brand new kicks, why you shoppin' at a Payless
Do it on my first take, skippin' all the Bayless
See me, you could be me but I end up on the A-List
I'm chillin' with Rihanna in the K-K-Caymans
I'm just kiddin', I'm a white kid, hi kids
Anderson Silva, I hit him with the high kicks
Never been realer, you nothin' but a side kick
Oh you on MySpace? That used to be my shit
So who's killin' the game, who's the culprit
I be workin' like I'm Anders Holmvik
Now I got a bunch of new friends, and they all rich
Got blazers, Aldridge
Tell me what you really want from me
Point blank, no discussion
Close mouth, close mouth, ow
I'll give it to you, no interruption
And tell me one time that you want me
I promise that I won't say nothin'
Sh-shut it up sh-sh-shut it up
I'll give it to you, no interruption
In your home, in your home
On the phone, on the phone
All alone, all alone
I'll give it to you no interruption
In your house, in your house
On the couch, on the couch
Name the time and the place and the function
I'll give it to you, no interruption
I know it's hard to give you everything you want from me
When I'm running on empty
I know it's hard to be the type of dude you want to be
'Cause your girlfriend wanted me
Where she want it though?
In your home, in your home
On the phone, on the phone
All alone, all alone
I'll give it to you no interruption
In your house, in your house
On the couch, on the couch
Name the time and the place and the function
I'll give it to you, no interruption
It goes never meet a girl on Craigslist

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”
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."

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.
Probably my favorite of his so far. It is self explanatory...he is going to give it to her with no interruption.
Tell me what you really want from me Point blank, no discussion Close mouth, Close mouth, ow I'll give it to you, no interruption
He's clearly talking about sex here. He'll have sex with her if she asks for it, 'no discussion'.
I promise that I won't say nothin'
I think what this means is that she has a boyfriend at that he won't tell her boyfriend that she cheated on him. The lyrics "I know it's hard to be the type of dude you want to be Cause your girlfriend wanted me" are him talking to the girl's boyfriend.
In your home, in your home On the phone, on the phone All alone, all alone I'll give it to you no interruption In your house, in your house On the couch, on the couch Name the time and the place and the function
He's letting her know he's available to have sex with her whenever, under any circumstances.
