Do you mind if I sit down next to you?
Yeah, I remember you from school
You seem to have a good heart
Way back then, you were gonna make it big
But it's divorce, now with a couple kids
That brings you back to these parts

Everybody stumbles
Everybody hits the ground
No use running scared
When those changes come around
Cause you don't know what might
Be waiting for you tonight

You really shouldn't drive
You've had too much to drink
You shouldn't be alone
Where all you're gonna do is think
So take my number
Or I can take you home
We can find a cup of coffee
We can sit all night and talk
There's a diner always open
Just around the block
So take my number
Or I can take you home

All those dreams
That were gonna set us free
What did we ever know at 23
About what we really wanted?
Everybody's got a fire
That's always gonna burn
No way to put it out
All we ever do is learn
And you don't know what might
Be waiting for you tonight

Oh, you really shouldn't drive
You've had too much to drink
You shouldn't be alone
Where all you're gonna do is think
So take my number
Or I can take you home, yeah

We can find a cup of coffee
We can sit all night and talk
There's a diner always open
Just around the block
So take my number
Or I can take you home

Take you home
Take you home
Take you home
I can take you home

Do you mind if I sit down next to you?
Well, I remember you from school
You seem to have a real good heart

Oh, you really shouldn't drive
You've had too much to drink
You shouldn't be alone
Where all you're gonna do is think
So take my number
Or I can take you home

We can find a cup of coffee
We can sit all night and talk
There's a diner always open
Just around the block
So take my number
Or I can take you home
Take my number
Or I can take you home

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
