One, two
One, two, three, four

Ooh, ooh
Waking up too early in the city feeling disconnected
The underground and my understanding have delays on the line
The weather and the way we worked out weren't quite as expected (Ooh, ooh)
I've been melting in the summer heat going out of my mind (Ooh, ooh)

So far from okay, tongue-tied and afraid (So far from okay)
The big things stay the same and you just say (Big things stay the same)

Little changes (Oh, oh, oh)
Little changes (Oh, oh, oh)

Giving up too easy when we could've tried a little bit harder
(When we could've tried, when we could've tried, when we could've)
Standing to the side as the neighbourhood went to the dogs
(Standing to the side, standing to the side, standing to the)
We spend our energy getting angry instead of being kinder
(Angry, angry, angry, angry)
Singing hymns of praise in a city given up on by the gods
(Ba da ba da ba ba baba)

So far from okay, tongue-tied and afraid (So far from okay)
The big things stay the same and you just say (Big things stay the same)

Little changes (Oh, oh, oh)
Little changes (Oh, oh, oh)
Little changes (Oh, oh, oh)
Little changes (Oh, oh, oh)

'Cause I've been messing things up
And I've been letting you down
I've been getting it wrong for far too long
I've been lost more than found
And I don't know where to stop (Ooh)
But something's gotta break (Ooh)
Don't pull it apart, keep it close to your heart (Ooh)
I'll do whatever it takes (Aah)

So far from okay, tongue-tied and afraid (So far from okay)
The big things stay the same let us make (Big things stay the same ba da ba da ba)

So far from okay, tongue-tied and afraid (So far from okay)
The big things stay the same let us make (Big things stay the same)

Little changes (Oh, oh, oh)
Little changes (Oh, oh, oh)
Come on, let's make some little changes (Oh, oh, oh)
It's time to make some little changes (Oh, oh, oh)

Let's not just pray (Let's not just pray)
Let's make a change (Let's make a change)
Let's not just pray (Let's not just pray)
Let's make a change (Let's make a change)
Let's not just pray (Let's not just pray)
Let's make a change (Let's make a change)
Let's not just pray (Let's not just pray)
Let's make a change (Let's make a change)
Little changes (Choir! Choir! Choir!

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."

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.
