This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
July
It's only been a month since I met you
I gotta say that was my favorite June
And I knew, from that night
That I would be alright
If I
I only knew that one day I would find
Someone like you, I'd take back all those nights I wasted
Looking for the right one at the wrong door
We fit together, you make me better
Whatever it takes, I'm here forever
Bad things will happen, but none of that matters
We'll find a way, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Baby, I'm all in it
Just tell me you were on in it
People wanna talk, shut 'em all off
And tell 'em all to mind their business
Will for the grumps and cynics
Been that way from the beginning
People see what they don't have
They get sad and act out 'cause they're winning
Ooh, I love the way you wanna love me too
Ooh, eh, eh
We fit together, you make me better
Whatever it takes, I'm here forever
Bad things will happen, but none of that matters
We'll find a way, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
As long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
As long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
And baby, I know, we'll find a way
Eh, eh, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Ooh, I love the way you wanna love me too
Ooh
Ooh, I love the way you wanna love me too
Ooh, eh, eh
We fit together, you make me better
Whatever it takes, I'm here forever
Bad things will happen, but none of that matters
We'll find a way, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
As long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
As long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
And baby, I know, we'll find a way
Eh, eh, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok
It's only been a month since I met you
I gotta say that was my favorite June
And I knew, from that night
That I would be alright
If I
I only knew that one day I would find
Someone like you, I'd take back all those nights I wasted
Looking for the right one at the wrong door
We fit together, you make me better
Whatever it takes, I'm here forever
Bad things will happen, but none of that matters
We'll find a way, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Baby, I'm all in it
Just tell me you were on in it
People wanna talk, shut 'em all off
And tell 'em all to mind their business
Will for the grumps and cynics
Been that way from the beginning
People see what they don't have
They get sad and act out 'cause they're winning
Ooh, I love the way you wanna love me too
Ooh, eh, eh
We fit together, you make me better
Whatever it takes, I'm here forever
Bad things will happen, but none of that matters
We'll find a way, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
As long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
As long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
And baby, I know, we'll find a way
Eh, eh, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Ooh, I love the way you wanna love me too
Ooh
Ooh, I love the way you wanna love me too
Ooh, eh, eh
We fit together, you make me better
Whatever it takes, I'm here forever
Bad things will happen, but none of that matters
We'll find a way, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
As long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
As long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
And baby, I know, we'll find a way
Eh, eh, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok

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."
