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”
There's something about how you look at me
I can tell that you're for real
My heartbeat pounds and my head spins round
Is this how forever feels?
Gonna take a chance, gonna take your hand
Gonna let the real me show
Baby just sit back and try not to laugh
There's a few things you should know
I'm gonna get jealous
I can get moody when my hair's a mess
And I cry over nothing, oh oh, oh oh
I'm gonna ask all about your ex
Gonna be late 'cause I can't choose which dress
These are things I must confess, oh oh, oh oh
And if you're okay with that then I'm okay with you
And if you'll always have my back I guess we're cool
If I've learned one thing you should never bring
Any secrets into love
'Cause the things you hide they build up inside
And I don't want that for us
I'm a little scared 'cause I wanna share
The best of me with you
But along with that comes a few red flags
You should know what you're getting into
I'm gonna get jealous
I can get moody when my hair's a mess
And I cry over nothing, oh oh, oh oh
I'm gonna ask all about your ex
Gonna be late 'cause I can't choose which dress
These are things I must confess, oh oh, oh oh
And if you're okay with that then I'm okay with you
And if you'll always have my back I guess we're cool
Yeah yeah, put my heart out on the table
Yeah yeah, and you didn't run away
Yeah yeah, love me if you're able
Even though I get jealous
I can get moody when my hair's a mess
And I cry over nothing, oh oh, oh oh
I'm gonna ask all about your ex
Gonna be late 'cause I can't choose which dress
These are things I must confess, oh oh, oh oh
And if you're okay with that then I'm okay with you
Glad I got this off my chest, so are we cool?
I can tell that you're for real
My heartbeat pounds and my head spins round
Is this how forever feels?
Gonna take a chance, gonna take your hand
Gonna let the real me show
Baby just sit back and try not to laugh
There's a few things you should know
I'm gonna get jealous
I can get moody when my hair's a mess
And I cry over nothing, oh oh, oh oh
I'm gonna ask all about your ex
Gonna be late 'cause I can't choose which dress
These are things I must confess, oh oh, oh oh
And if you're okay with that then I'm okay with you
And if you'll always have my back I guess we're cool
If I've learned one thing you should never bring
Any secrets into love
'Cause the things you hide they build up inside
And I don't want that for us
I'm a little scared 'cause I wanna share
The best of me with you
But along with that comes a few red flags
You should know what you're getting into
I'm gonna get jealous
I can get moody when my hair's a mess
And I cry over nothing, oh oh, oh oh
I'm gonna ask all about your ex
Gonna be late 'cause I can't choose which dress
These are things I must confess, oh oh, oh oh
And if you're okay with that then I'm okay with you
And if you'll always have my back I guess we're cool
Yeah yeah, put my heart out on the table
Yeah yeah, and you didn't run away
Yeah yeah, love me if you're able
Even though I get jealous
I can get moody when my hair's a mess
And I cry over nothing, oh oh, oh oh
I'm gonna ask all about your ex
Gonna be late 'cause I can't choose which dress
These are things I must confess, oh oh, oh oh
And if you're okay with that then I'm okay with you
Glad I got this off my chest, so are we cool?

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."
