I thought I saw you, dancing with dirty feet
Broken records, slightly out of reach
Are you dreaming, dreaming about the spires
Back then before there were crossed wires?
Are you longing, hands up in the air
Broken flowers twisting in your hair
Are you dreaming, dreaming about the time
Way back when, before you crossed the line?

You cut and run
You cut and run
You cut and run
I am the one

Empty rooms, dancing on your own
Broken flowers from a broken home
Are you dreaming, dreaming about the time
Way back when before you crossed the line?
Thought I saw you, dancing with tired feet
Longing hours, records on repeat
Are you dreaming, dreaming about the spires
Back then before there were crossed wires?

You cut and run, when you see the trouble come
You cut and run, once the damage has been done
You cut and run, when you see the trouble come
I am the one

'Cause you're always crashing that same car
And the apple don't seem to fall too far
And there's always icebergs in the way
Of all the sorries you ought to say

You want to feel like the way that you did back then
You want to push back the hands and start it again
You want to feel like the way that you did back then
You want to push back the hands and start it again
You want to feel like the way that you did back then
You want to push back the hands and start it again
You want to feel like the way that you did back then
You want to push back the hands and start it again
You want to feel like the way that you did back then

But you cut and run, when you see the trouble come
You cut and run, once the damage has been done
You cut and run, when you see the trouble come
I am the one

'Cause you're always crashing that same car
And the apple don't seem to fall too far
And there's always icebergs in the way
Of all the sorry's you ought to say
So you don't come back around this town
Always causing trouble or just fooling 'round
'Cause there's always something in the way
Of all the sorry's that you ought to say

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.

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."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
