Cover art for Mad Season lyrics by Matchbox Twenty

I can associate this song with my college life. It seems that I'm fine in between semesters, but when the semester starts again and things get crazy, then my "mad season" comes around, and I'm looking for a way out. I can also associate this song with my relationship with my mother. Specifically the line, "Now I'm crying, isn't that what you want" sets in deep. I won't go into detail about my parental relationships, but my mother seems to pride herself in playing head games with me and being a lazy person.
