Cold house, white light
Yellow lamps and black in the skies
Full holes in deep brown eyes
I sing you a song that I think you'll like
And we walk to places we always go
A million faces, I don't know
I say the words it always hopes that our heart are racing
(Even though)

I know what you told me
I know that it's all over and
I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run yeah
I keep on falling

I know what you told me
I know that it's all over and
I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run yeah
I keep on falling (on you)

On the way I stand
On the way I sway
The way your hair curls in the rain
The little lines that write on your face
On the winter nights, you come and stay
Oh the way you hit me when you wanna fight
The way I yawn, the way I cry
The way I love rose with the ties
But we know it won't make up every time

I know what you told me
I know that it's all over and
I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run yeah
I keep on falling

I know what you told me
I know that it's all over and
I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run yeah
I keep on falling (on you)

Oh you bring me all the things I need
I follow the rain to the rolling sea
I love you baby all the things I lay

I know what you told me
I know that it's all over and
I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run
I keep on falling

I know what you told me
I know that it's all over and
I know I can't keep calling
Just every time I run
I keep on falling

And I know what you told me
I know that it's all over and
I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run yeah
I keep on falling

And I know what you told me
And I know that it's all over and
I know I can't keep calling
Every time I run yeah
I keep on falling (on you)

    There are some mistakes in these lyrics:

    On the way I stand On the way I sway The way your hair coats in the rain The little lines that write on your face On the winter nights, you come and stay Oh the way you hit me when you wanna fight The way I yawn, the way I cry The way I love rose with the ties But we know it won't make up every time

    Should be:

    On the way you stand, on the way you sway The way your hair curls in the rain The little lines write your face So do winter nights you'd come and stay

    Or the way you hit me when you wanna fight The way i yearn, the way i cry The way i love rose with the tides But we know we'll make up every time

    My Opinion

    in my opinion this song is about the end of a relationship. the person is in denial and it is hard for him to admit that its over. "i know what you told me i know that its all over" maybe she told him that she cheated on him or maybe she just doesn't feel the way they should feel in a loving relationship. he probably wishes he never heard her say those things, he wishes things could stay the same.

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Page
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.

Plastic Bag
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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
