Loving you like I never have before
I'm needing you just to open up the door
If begging you might somehow turn the tides
Then tell me to I've got to get this off my mind

I never thought I'd be speaking these words
I never thought I'd need to say
Another day alone is more than I can take

Won't you save me? Saving is what I need
I just want to be by your side
Won't you save me? I don't want to be
Just drifting through the sea of life

Won't you listen please,
Baby, don't walk out the door, I'm on my knees
You're all I'm living for

I never thought I'd be speaking these words
Heaven thought I'd find a way
Another day alone is more than I can take

Won't you save me? Saving is what I need
I just want to be by your side
Won't you save me? I don't want to be
Just drifting through the sea of life, yeah

Suddenly the sky is falling
Could it be it's too late for me
If I never said I'm sorry
Then I'm wrong, yes, I'm wrong
Then I hear my spirit calling
Wondering if she's longing for me
And then I know that I can't live without her

Won't you save me? 'Cause saving is what I need
I just want to be by your side
Won't you save me? I don't want to be
Just drifting through the sea of life

Won't you save me?
Won't you save me?
Won't you save me?

    I'll comment on it. The song means a lot to me cause although I'm not a big Hanson fan the words speak right to my heart. I don't fall in love but I met this guy who made me feel like the song does. I think everyone can relate to it. Good Song

    I think Hanson got a bad rap because of when they came out, and they're hair. But people need to stop concentrating on that and realize how beautiful and truthful their lyrics are.

    this is such a meaningful song. honestly, who doesn't relate to this sometimes? it's like saying that you need someone so much, but they're far away, or they don't want you back... i love this song.

    I love this song because it reminds me of my boyfriend and i. the words fit perfectly for how i feel and i love how Hanson has so much depth and meaning to their music that no-one seems to realize. They are so great and this is just another great song to be added to the continuous list of should be Hanson hits.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
