I hear your heart cry for love
But you won't let me make it right
You were hurt, but I decided that you were worth the fight
Every night, you lock up
You won't let me come inside
But the look in your eyes, I can turn the tide

In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
I can tell you can fit one more
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
I don't care who was there before

I hear your heart cry for love
Then you act like there's no room
Room for me, or anyone
"Don't disturb" is all I see
Close the door, turn the key
On everything that we could be
If loneliness would move out
I'd fill the vacancy
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
Ooh
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
Ooh

This ain't the Heartbreak Hotel
Even though I know it well
Those no shows, they sure tell
In the way you hold yourself
Don't you fret, should you get
Another cancellation
Give me a chance, I'll make a
Permanent reservation

In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
I can tell you can fit one more
Open up make a brand new start
I don't care who's stayed before

I hear your heart cry for love
Then you act like there's no room
Room for me, or anyone
"Don't disturb" is all I see
Close the door, turn the key
On everything that we could be
If loneliness would move out
I'd fill the vacancy
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
Ooh
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
Ooh

When I talk to you on the phone
Listen close

I hear your heart cry for love
Then you act like there's no room
Room for me, or anyone
"Don't disturb" is all I see
Close the door, turn the key
On everything that we could be
If loneliness would move out
I'd fill the vacancy
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
Ooh
In your heart, in your heart, in your heart
Ooh

    This song's pure genius.

    I think it's pretty self-explanatory. There's a guy who really likes this girl and this girl has been heartbroken a few times. She's afraid of taking the step of faith towards love. But the guy really wants her to open up because he knows that deep down inside, she's really yearning for love. She acts like she doesn't like him or anyone else and chases him away. He wishes that loneliness would leave her heart so he can feel the vacancy in her heart. He really wants a chance with her.

    Yeah...I tend to go straight for The Wanted songs just cos i'm in love with them, but then I notice they don't really need any explaining cos they all kinda explain it thru the lyrics. But, yah. It basically is just saying the girl needs to try and face the fact that someone can love her without getting hurt, and that the one talking/singing this will help her and love her unconditionally

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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."
