Cigarette Daydreams Lyrics


Did you stand there all alone?
Oh I cannot explain what's going down
I can see you standing next to me
In and out somewhere else right now
You sigh, look away
I can see it clear as day
Close your eyes, so afraid
Hide behind that baby face

Do do do do do do

You can drive all night
Looking for answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer

Funny how it seems like yesterday
As I recall you were looking out of place
Gathered up your things and slipped away
No time at all I followed you into the hall
Cigarette daydream
You were only seventeen
Soft speak with a mean streak
Nearly brought me to my knees

Do do do do do do

You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer

If we could find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you could find a reason, a reason to stay
Standing in the pouring rain

Do do do do do do

You can drive all night
Looking for answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer

If we could find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you could find a reason, a reason to stay
Standing in the pouring rain

Cigarette Daydreams
  • Out of all the songs on Melophobia, this happened the fastest. Vocalist Matt Shultz recalled to Artist Direct : "I was sitting there on the floor of my living room. I was strumming a guitar, and I started coming up with that melody. Then, the words started to flow out. If the right experiences are happening in your life, it doesn't hurt. It definitely helps. I called our producer, and I was like, 'I don't know. What do you think?' He just said, 'Matt, finish the song right now! Just do it.' I hung up the phone and tried to let it flow through. A lot of things happen in life grow in experiences. They can cause heartache, jubilee, or whatever. To be able to directly put those in a song is a pretty amazing thing."
  • Rhythm guitarist Brad Shultz recalled his reaction to MusicRadar.com after his brother played the song to him on his phone. "He was talking about maybe using it for something other than Cage, but I was an instant fan of the song," he said. "This was a moment of realization like, 'Why do we have to write Cage The Elephant songs? We can just write songs, regardless of what style of music they might be.'"

    "I like the idea of doing things that people might not expect from us," Shultz added. "So we decided to take a whole new approach to writing, and this song is a good example of that. It's just about being honest."

    Save Tonight Lyrics


    Go on and close the curtains
    Cause all we need is candle light
    You and me and a bottle of wine
    Going to hold you tonight
    Well we know I'm going away
    And how I wish, I wish it weren't so
    So take this wine and drink with me
    Let's delay our misery

    Save Tonight
    And fight the break of dawn
    Come tomorrow
    Tomorrow I'll be gone

    Save tonight
    And fight the break of dawn
    Come tomorrow
    Tomorrow I'll be gone

    There's a log on the fire
    And it burns like me for you
    Tomorrow comes with one desire
    To take me away it's true
    It ain't easy to say goodbye
    Darling please don't start to cry
    Cause girl you know I've got to go, oh
    Lord I wish it wasn't so

    Save tonight
    And fight the break of dawn
    Come tomorrow
    Tomorrow I'll be gone

    Save tonight
    And fight the break of dawn
    Come tomorrow
    Tomorrow I'll be gone

    Tomorrow comes to take me away
    I wish that I, that I could stay
    Girl you know I've got to go, oh
    Lord I wish it wasn't so

    Save tonight
    And fight the break of dawn
    Come tomorrow
    Tomorrow I'll be gone

    Save tonight
    And fight the break of dawn
    Come tomorrow
    Tomorrow I'll be gone

    Save tonight
    And fight the break of dawn
    Come tomorrow
    Tomorrow I'll be gone

    Save tonight
    And fight the break of dawn
    Come tomorrow

    Youth Lyrics


    They didn't warn me
    When I was running wild
    The dragons breathing fire
    In the backyard at night

    We live in circles
    And it's so hard to breathe
    Maybe the same old fears
    What have we here?
    Don't bring me down
    With you

    Now I'm just chasing time
    With a thousand dreams I'm holding heavy
    And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severed
    Don't tell me our Youth is running out
    It's only just begun

    If I asked you for good news
    Would you smile and turn away?
    It's like a bad dream
    That is too afraid to wake

    There are many among us
    And we're changing all the time
    Maybe the same old fears
    What have we here?
    Don't bring me down
    With you

    Now I'm just chasing time
    With a thousand dreams I'm holding heavy
    And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severed
    Don't tell me our youth is running out
    It's only just begun

    These fading beats
    These fading beats

    Now I'm just chasing time
    With a thousand dreams I'm holding heavy
    And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severed
    Don't tell me our youth is running out
    It's only just begun

    These fading beats
    A thousand dreams
    These fading beats
    A thousand dreams
    It's only just begun

    Youth
  • Louisa Rose Allen is an English singer and songwriter who records under the name of Foxes. This was one of the first tunes that she penned and was originally released by independent label Neon Gold Records in 2011. "Don't tell me our youth is running out, it's only just begun" she sings over resplendent synths and industrial percussion. Foxes said: "It was the first song where I thought, 'OK, now I can see the vision, now I can see the album'."
  • The song only started getting airplay after Foxes guested on hit singles for Zedd and Rudimental, which gave her the necessary exposure.
  • This was used to soundtrack a TV commercial promoting the Unrivalled Collection of Designers at Debenhams department stores. Foxes can also be seen briefly in the ad.
  • Foxes told Digital Spy regarding the song's accompanying music video: "'Youth' is about having these jobs... being stuck in a job or a life where you're not living your dream. The video talks about that visually."

    "There's the fire coming up and then we go into this magical world," she added, "where we're like, 'F--k it, let's do what we want!'"
  • Foxes penned the song with help from producer Jonny 'Ghostwriter' Harris who also co-wrote Rudimental's chart-topper "Waiting All Night." The lyrics were inspired by the singer's young-at-heart, single-parent mum.
  • Foxes told Radio.com that she wrote the song to let others know that just because you're getting older doesn't mean you have to give up your childhood dreams. "I definitely think I was brought up to have this idea that you can do what you love and you can kind of stay a big kid and have that imagination," she said. "You can do what you love."

    Luv Is A Verb Lyrics


    [Take this... for a ride]

    Down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
    Are you down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk

    Pullin' out my big black book
    Cause when I need a word defined that's where I look
    So I move to the L's quick, fast, in a hurry
    Threw on my specs, thought my vision was blurry
    I looked again but to my dismay
    It was black and white with no room for grey
    Ya see, a big "V" stood beyond my word
    And yo that's when it hit me, that Luv Is A Verb

    (chorus 1)
    Words come easy but don't mean much
    When the words they're sayin' we can't put trust in
    We're talkin' 'bout love in a different light
    And if we all learn to love it would be just right

    (chorus 2)
    Hey, tell me haven't ya heard?
    Luv, is a serious word
    Hey, I think it's time ya learned
    I don't care what they say
    I don't care care what ya heard
    The word luv, luv is a verb

    Down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
    Are you down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk

    Thinkin' of a way to explain-o
    Cause ya' know when I'm flowin' like a bottle of Drain-o
    Simple and plain, L-O-V-E
    Ain't all that junk that ya see on TV
    Put soaps on a rope cause they ain't worth copin' with
    It's a myth that there ain't no hope and
    Luv is enough if it's unconditionally
    Givin' now you're living out the Great Commission

    (repeat choruses 1 and 2)

    Back in the day there was a man
    Who stepped out of Heaven and he walked the land
    He delivered to the people an eternal choice
    With a heart full of luv and the truth in His voice
    Gave up His life so that we may live
    How much more luv could the Son of God give?
    Here is the example that we oughtta be matchin'
    Cause luv is a word that requires some action

    (repeat chorus 1)

    (repeat chorus 2 x4)

    Luv Is A Verb
  • This song explains in very simple and obvious terms how love requires actions rather than just words. The first few verses are just trying to get the words together to explain it, but then in the final verses Jesus is used as the role model and example for love, typified by the words: "How much more love can the Son God give." Jesus displayed the ultimate love by dying on the cross, and we should show Jesus' love to others by actions.

    Unconditionally Lyrics


    Oh no, did I get too close oh?
    Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside?
    All your insecurities
    All the dirty laundry
    Never made me blink one time

    Unconditional, Unconditionally
    I will love you unconditionally
    There is no fear now
    Let go and just be free
    I will love you unconditionally

    Come just as you are to me
    Don't need apologies
    Know that you are all worthy
    I'll take your bad days with your good
    Walk through this storm I would
    I'd do it all because I love you, I love you

    Unconditional, unconditionally
    I will love you unconditionally
    There is no fear now
    Let go and just be free
    I will love you unconditionally

    So open up your heart and just let it begin
    Open up your heart, and just let it begin
    Open up your heart, and just let it begin
    Open up your heart
    Acceptance is the key to be
    To be truly free
    Will you do the same for me?

    Unconditional, unconditionally
    I will love you unconditionally
    And there is no fear now
    Let go and just be free
    'Cause I will love you unconditionally (oh yeah)

    I will love you
    I will love you
    I will love you unconditionally

    Unconditionally
  • This big power ballad was released as the second single from Prism, and was the follow-up to "Roar."

    "It's a love song and it's different from 'Roar' - it's not eighth-notey," said Perry. "I think it's a universal love song that everyone's going to be able to relate to no matter the age, no matter male or female. It's my favorite song off the record."
  • Perry penned this ode to falling in love with Swedish hitmaker Max Martin, American producer Dr. Luke and Canadian songwriter Cirkut. The same trio also contributed to "Roar." During a discussion at the 2013 ASCAP "I Create Music" Expo in Los Angeles, Perry said as a team they have certain strengths. "With Max, it's melody choices," she said "Luke is production and I'm topline and melody."
  • The song finds Perry singing about looking past her beau's flaws and loving him for who he is. "There is no fear now... I will love you unconditionally," she belts over woodblock percussion and a dramatic bass line. It is one of two tracks on Prism that were inspired by Perry's boyfriend John Mayer— the other one being the Deluxe edition bonus track "It Takes Two."
  • The song's lyric video was helmed by photographer, screenwriter and director Aya Tanimura, who is a member of Mensa. It features a lesbian couple who are played by models Janell Shirtcliff and Erika Linder.
  • Perry spoke about the song's meaning during an interview with KIIS FM. She explained: "Not only is it about those different varieties of loves, it's about when you are in love with someone and there's full acceptance. The highs and the lows. All the flaws. The zits. The smells. The whole gamet, you know? Sometimes I remember being scared to be accepted in relationships and I know that everybody else goes through that and, 'Will they love my true self? Will they love all the things that I do when nobody's looking?"

    Perry added: "You know because we are weirdoes. We pick our nose and we make disgusting noises with our body and we're not always the most presentable things but someone's gotta love us and it's about that unconditional love. It's about that high, almost spiritual type of love."
  • Perry felt inspired to pen the song as a result of a visit to Madagascar with UNICEF. She decided to write lyrics about what it means to care for someone in the purest form. "We live in such a world that is run by social status and material possession, and it can get really overwhelming and tiring to keep up with that - people are actually turned on by the amount of likes they have; it's crazy that our minds think that way these days," Perry explained.

    "And so I went to the top of this mountain, I saw all these children, and the love that they had towards each other, they had no idea what Twitter or Facebook or any of that stuff was, they didn't care about it," she continued. "It was this unconditional love between all of them. It was that kind of pure love that's unaffected by the trends of the world."
  • Perry singled out this as her favorite Prism track as it passed the "goose bump test." She explained to MTV News: "There's this test that I do in the studio, after a song's complete and you've tracked some vocals. It's kind of like the goose bump test. If, every time you hear it, it gives you goose bumps, it's hitting a chord inside of you that's really important,. It's an emotional chord inside of you."

    "I love this song because not only can it be a romantic, intimate song, but it can be about the type of love that a mother has when she sees her first child, or best friends or partners," Perry added. "It's a transcendent love, it's not just relationship status."
  • The Brent Bonacorso directed video is centered around an elegant Renaissance-era ball. The clip explores the impact of love using dramatic imagery and was influenced by such films as Dangerous Liaisons and Anna Karenina. "It doesn't have a complete narrative. I do that all the time; I usually have quite a big story line," Perry told MTV News. "This time I wanted to give a lot of gorgeous, beautiful looks, which I don't usually go for. But it's mostly just a beautiful video that is supposed to evoke this power of love."
  • Bonacorso explained to MTV News how he attempted to capture the song's lyrical concepts in the video. "When she sings this song she doesn't sing it lightly. This love that she speaks of is like a force of nature, epic storm and a tempest, and that's definitely something I wanted to capture," he said, adding that he wanted to capture a "more mysterious, elegant and sophisticated world to live in... less about a time period and more about creating an impression and a feeling."

    That "feeling" is expressed using various images, including a car crash, which is a visual metaphor for the power of true love. "One of the key images that I think was pivotal in the video and just a very important concept to me. I once described the experience of falling in love like being hit by a car; suddenly your world is just so violently and dramatically changed. It hits you out of the blue," Bonacorso explained. "I shared this with Katy and she really loved that concept and really identified with it immediately, that she felt the same way."

    Hard Candy Lyrics


    On certain Sundays in November
    When the weather bothers me
    I empty drawers of other summers
    Where my shadows used to be
    And she is standing by the water
    As her smile begins to curl
    In this or any other summer
    She is something altogether different
    Never just an ordinary girl

    And in the evenings on Long Island
    When the colors start to fade
    She wears a silly yellow hat
    That someone gave her when she stayed
    I didn't think that she returned it
    We left New York in a whirl
    Time expands and then contracts
    When you are spinning in the grip of someone
    Who is not an ordinary girl

    And when you sleep you find your mother in the night
    But she stays just out of sight
    So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
    And when you wake the morning covers you with light
    And it makes you feel alright
    But it's just the same Hard Candy you're
    remembering again

    You send your lover off to China
    And you wait for her to call
    You put your girl up on a pedestal
    Then you wait for her to fall
    I put my summers back in a letter
    And I hide it from the world
    All the regrets you can't forget
    Are somehow pressed upon a picture
    In the face of such an ordinary girl

    And when you sleep you find your mother in the night
    But she fades just out of sight
    So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
    And when you wake
    The morning showers you with light
    And it makes you feel alright
    But it's just the same hard candy you're
    remembering again

    Hard Candy
  • The "Candy" represents the girl, and it's "Hardy Candy" because she is hard-to-get. It's described how the whole world changes when around this girl. The whole world spins because this girl is so extraordinary.
  • When the mother is talked about, it is could refer to how there is a bit of his mother (which "Stays just out of sight") in this girl, and when you see your mother's love displayed in this girl it makes everything all right again.

    Compass Lyrics


    Yea it's been a bumpy road
    Roller coasters high and low
    Fill the tank and drive the car
    Pedal fast, pedal hard
    You won't have to go that far

    You want to give up cause it's dark
    We're really not that far apart

    So let your heart sweetheart be your Compass when you're lost
    And you should follow it wherever it may go
    When it's all said and done you can walk instead of run
    'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone
    Never be alone
    Never be alone

    Forgot directions on your way
    Don't close your eyes don't be afraid
    We might be crazy late at night
    I can't wait til you arrive
    Follow stars you'll be alright

    You want to give up cause it's dark
    We're really not that far apart

    So let your heart sweetheart be your compass when you're lost
    And you should follow it wherever it may go
    When it's all said and done you can walk instead of run
    'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone
    Never be alone
    Never be alone

    You want to give up cause it's dark
    We're really not that far apart

    So let your heart sweetheart be your compass when you're lost
    And you should follow it wherever it may go
    When it's all said and done you can walk instead of run
    'Cause no matter what you'll never be alone
    Never be alone
    Never be alone

    When it's all said and done you can walk instead of run

    Compass
  • This song was written by members of the Norwegian Pop/Rock production team Stargate, who have been responsible for a string of hit singles by such artists as Rihanna ("Diamonds") and Katy Perry ("Firework"). The blending of a high-spirited sing-a-long banjo-and fiddle-heavy sound with pop-style production represented a new musical direction for Lady Antebellum. "You hear people talk about songs they knew they couldn't live without, and this is one of them for us," said Dave Haywood. "Once we all got in the studio to record our parts and really work with the instrumentation, it took on an energy that felt really fresh and different. We tried some new things vocally, and by adding foot stomps and hand claps to the acoustic sounds of the banjo, fiddle and mandolin, it really turned into something special."
  • Lady Antebellum took a short break after the release of Golden because of Hillary Scott giving birth to a daughter, Eisele. This was the first song released by the trio after their hiatus. "As we made it our own, we decided we had to share it with the fans immediately…we just couldn't wait!" said Scott. "They've been so patient with us over the last few months as I've begun a new chapter in my life personally. Everything takes on new meaning once you have a child, and now I can hear the message of the song through Eisele's ears too. It opens up a whole new world to you as an artist."

    The song was included on the deluxe edition of Golden.
  • Scott told Billboard magazine it was a quick process to record the track. "It all happened very fast. We got the song, and within two weeks we were in the studio with it," she said. "We lived with it for a little while, fell in love with it, and threw some ideas around with what we were going to do with it."
  • Hilary Scott explained what the song means to her. "I think what struck me so much with this song is the lyrics," she said. "It's really a positive message. It made me think of my daughter. It's so fresh me being a mother now and having her and wanting her – as she grows up – to dream big and to go after those dreams but to always know she'll never be alone. She's got a soft place to fall at home. So that's who I think of, you know?"

    "It's also an empowering song," Scott continued. "It's following your heart. Your heart is your compass, and if you' re following it, you're always going to be happy because you' re gonna be doing what you' re meant to do. So, I love that too. It can be a about a person, a friend, a parent, child, whoever, spouse, but it can also be about you and the power within yourself."
  • The music video for "Compass" was helmed by Peter Zavadil, a veteran Country music video director who also was behind Lady Antebellum's two previous clips for "Goodbye Town" and "Downtown."
  • Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley commented that the band can truly relate to the track. "I think the song hits really close to myself, and I know Dave [Haywood], both moved from kinda the normal job circuit and took a chance and kind of followed our hearts and moved to Nashville," he said. "It was the best decision we ever made."

    "Our families, though, were there and very encouraging; you know that line, 'You'll never be alone.' And also, 'Walk, instead of run.' It's kind of like, 'Settle into it.' You don't have to chase after it, and I think some people try so hard," Kelley added. "It's like, just let yourself settle in to what you know is what you do best in this world and believe in yourself and let it all happen."

    Mrs. Potter's Lullaby Lyrics


    Well I woke up in mid-afternoon cause that's when it all hurts the most
    I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host
    If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts
    You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast

    Well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
    I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
    If you've never stared off in the distance, then your life is a shame
    And though I'll never forget your face,
    sometimes I can't remember my name

    Hey Mrs. Potter don't cry
    Hey Mrs. Potter I know why but
    Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me

    Well, there's a piece of Maria in every song that I sing
    And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings
    And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to ring
    And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything

    Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said
    And the ghosts of the tilt-a-whirl will linger inside of your head
    And the ferris wheel junkies will spin them forever instead
    When I see you a blanket of stars covers me in bed

    Hey Mrs. Potter don't go
    Hey Mrs. Potter I don't know but
    Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me

    All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep
    And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep
    All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
    Hey I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep

    So I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams
    It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream
    Well, I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem
    But I'd sure like to find out
    So why don't you climb down off that movie screen

    Hey Mrs. Potter don't turn
    Hey Mrs. Potter I burn for you
    Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me

    When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor
    and orders another
    Well, I wonder what he did that for
    That's when I know that I have to get out cause I have been there before
    So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door

    We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars
    We stand up at the Palace like it's the last of the great Pioneertown bars
    We shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars
    You can see a million miles tonight
    But you can't get very far

    Hey Mrs. Potter I won't touch and
    Hey Mrs. Potter it's not much but
    Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me

    Mrs. Potter's Lullaby
  • This song deals with memories and hope (both the false ones and all the far-searching dreams). Mrs. Potter is a movie star who Adam Duritz is looking up at, admiring, and wanting her to be a part of his life. This song has a very dreamy feel about it all the way through, as does the video clip. Duritz says he wrote the song after going to a movie and wondering what it would be like to fall in love with a girl on the screen.

    Duritz had some particular insights here, as he has dated a litany of actresses, including Mary Louise Parker, Jennifer Aniston, Samantha Mathis and Emmy Rossum.
  • Adam Duritz has taken care not to reveal the identity of Mrs. Potter, and if it really is the actress Monica Potter from the movies Con Air, Patch Adams and Saw. He says that after he wrote the song, he had dinner with a couple who brought an actress friend along. She and Duritz hit it off, and he invited her to the recording session, where he announced her as "Mrs. Potter." She went out of town for a few days, during which time Duritz wrote a few songs inspired by their quick separation and long phone calls: "Colorblind," "Four Days" and "Kid Things."

    When she returned, they started dating. Their producer Dennis Herring had given her a tape from the sessions, which she played for Duritz when he told her that they were having trouble mixing the song. One take on the tape sounded really good, so Adam played that one for the band and used it on the recording. They realized that they had overcomplicated the song, so they stripped it down, working from that one take.
  • This song runs 7:46, but Adam Duritz tells us that it took him only about 8 hours to write. "It's a longer song, but it's one sitting," he said. "I would always sit in that feeling for a while."

    When You Were My Girl
  • Matt Cardle wrote this song, which was the second single from his Porcelain album. The singer also co-produced the song with Toby Smith (Jamiroquai) and Jamie Scott (JLS, Enrique Iglesias). "I had a session in LA with JC Chasez [*NSYNC] and his producer Jimmy Harry," Cardle explained. "We came up with this really awesome bass line, which I revisited a few weeks later when I was back in the UK. I continued writing and a few days later, the track was finished." He added: "It's got a real Marvin Gaye, Jackson-esque type feel to it. I'm really proud of it."

    The song was premiered on BBC Radio 2 on September 30, 2013 and released worldwide a fortnight later.
  • The song's music video was directed and shot by Nick Spanos in Los Angeles on September 16, 2013. The director previously worked with Cardle on the clips for his "It's Only Love" and "Lately" singles.

    Butterfly In Reverse Lyrics


    Mary-Ann
    You're better than the world
    They took a lot of time
    Getting it right on this girl
    I said, Mary-Ann
    You're better than the world
    They did a lot of things right on this girl

    Had a lot of girlfriends
    I should have known them
    Click your heels and count back from there
    Do you want to go back?
    You should have known
    That the Butterfly In Reverse here is me

    Mary-Ann
    You're better than the world
    They took a lot of time
    Getting it right on this girl
    I said, Mary-Ann
    You're better than the world
    They did a lot of things right on this girl

    Where'd you want to go to
    With nothing beside you
    But webbing and curfews and rain?
    And everything that hurts you
    Is locked up inside you
    Like butterflies with wings
    And other perfect things

    We go swimming in the sunshine
    Dangling from clotheslines
    Separate and fall into me
    But did you ever see me?
    Me, absolutely?
    Me, but all you, but still me?

    Mary-Ann
    You're better than the world
    They took a lot of time
    Getting it right on this girl, I said
    Mary-Ann
    You're better than the world
    They did a lot of things right on this girl

    Butterfly In Reverse
  • This song expresses regret at losing a girl: Mary-Ann. It describes how Mary-Ann wasn't treated and appreciated as she should have been. The butterfly is used as a metaphor: their feelings are paralleled to a butterfly because butterflies appear so peaceful and at ease. It's explained how feelings are "locked up inside you." But, the author says that he is a "Butterfly in reverse," so this implies that he doesn't feel at ease, doesn't feel beautiful, and doesn't feel peaceful - like the butterfly. He's in indecision over this girl. In addition, the butterfly is compared to Mary-Ann and comes to represent her. She is labeled as perfect, as is the butterfly.
  • Hard Candy got its first breath of impetus from Adam Duritz ' work with Ryan Adams, and Adams returned the favor by co-writing and singing on this. The song revels in the fields of syrupy symphonic Pop, complete with Burt Bacharach reference.
  • This was written for the actress Mary-Louise Parker, whom Duritz dated back in the late 90s/early 2000s. Other actresses whom Duritz dated and who inspired Counting Crows songs are, Courteney Cox-Arquette ("Monkey") and Monica Potter ("Mrs. Potter's Lullaby").

    4x4 Lyrics


    Round and round and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    And away we go and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go

    I'm a female rebel, can't you tell?
    Banged on the dashboard, just chipped a nail
    Lean out the window, it's when I go
    Driving so fast 'bout to piss on myself
    Driving so fast 'bout to piss on myself
    The police wanna get him and put him in jail
    I'm a do whatever to get him his bail
    Hooked on donuts and rooster tails
    I'm in that passenger seat flying high in the air
    And we're driving fast 'till we're plum out of gas

    Round and round and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    And away we go and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go

    I'm a female rebel, can't you see?
    Riding 'round your backyard to the beat
    Pulling out the steering wheel right from the seat
    Pumping his brakes to the sound of the beat
    Pumping his brakes to the sound of the beat
    You don't understand what he's doing to me
    Deep down inside like a pit bull in heat
    He's almost coming so we head for the streets
    I'm in that passenger seat flying high in the air
    And we're driving fast 'till we're plum out of gas

    Round and round and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    And away we go and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go

    It's twelve o'clock and I don't want to party
    My pit bull friend and my big truck hobby
    A little bit of dirt never hurt nobody
    Now I got dirt all over my body
    Might as well, light a ale
    His big fog lights is bright as hell
    Calls 'em off, starts to yell
    He hits the gas so I grab the rail

    Are you sure you wanna ride with me?
    If you scared don't lie to me
    I'm a crazy mother fucka from the mid west
    With a Mississippi flow and all in dress
    And a four by four with the alter steps
    Doing donuts underneath the old chest
    I need a chick on time 'cause mine be early
    Think I ride or I die down to six thirty
    Straight up chick like twelve o'clock
    I don't know where yet, that's what she tell the cops
    Sits down for a nigga, raise her hand for a nigga
    I solemnly swear he was with me all day
    To the judge, he the one I love
    Hell they can't tell, she don't even budge
    Round and round we go
    Don't stop 'till I tell you so

    I'm in that passenger seat flying high in the air
    And we're driving fast 'till we're plum out of gas

    Round and round and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go
    Round and round and away we go
    And away we go and away we go
    Four by four and away we go
    High not low and away we go

    I'm a female rebel, can't you tell
    Can't you tell, can't you tell
    I'm a female rebel, can't you tell
    Can't you tell, can't you tell

    4x4
  • This song finds Miley collaborating with Pharrell Williams, who as part of The Neptunes, has produced numerous hit singles for various musicians. Cyrus told Billboard magazine how she mapped out a new sonic vision with Williams in Miami. "We wanted to make something really different," she said. "He came to my house, and I didn't have shoes on-I don't put a show on for anybody. He said, 'This is why I love you: You're just wild and free, and I want to capture that.'"

    This was the second song the pair wrote together and Pharrell described it as a union of "foreign elements."
  • This rhythmic hoedown features Nelly. "It's kind of a country, hip-hop, pop feel, if you can believe that," the St. Louis rapper told MTV News. "It's about having fun; kind of how a 4x4 truck symbolizes rebelliousness ... you know, mashing out, wanting to ride with the bad boys. It's a dope track."
  • Cyrus both raps and sings on the track, and Nelly complimented the ex Hannah Montana star's skills on the mic. "She grew up with hip hop. Hip hop is a way of life, she's not a rapper but she loves hip hop. It's about how she expresses herself," he explained to MTV News. "I know a lot of kids her age that are just like her; they grew up loving this music. People act like they want her to be 30 years old; she's not even 21, she has no kids, she's been working with Disney for her whole life, she wants to have some fun."

    Volvere Junto A Ti Lyrics


    Volveré junto a ti a pesar de mi orgullo
    Volveré porque sé que no puedo elegir
    Recordando ahora días de otra latitud
    Frecuentando sitios donde tu estarás
    Repitiendo gestos y palabras que perdimos
    Volveré junto a ti como cuando me fui

    Tu dime si estás, dispuesto a intentar
    De nuevo conmigo, un largo camino
    Si aún eres tu, si ahora soy yo
    Como una canción sincera y nueva
    Tu dime si estás, si puedo encontrar
    Nuestro pasado en tu mirar

    Volveré junto a ti, pues te quise y te quiero
    Volveré junto a ti, para siempre hasta el fin
    Volveré, porque de ti queda parte en mi

    Al respirar el aire limpio de intranquilidad
    Al reencontrar tus manos fuerte soplaré
    No sentirme siempre frágil como ayer

    Tu dime sólo si estas dispuesto a intentar
    De nuevo conmigo un largo camino
    Dime si aún eres tu, si ahora soy yo
    Aquellas canciones, tuyas, nuestras
    Tu dime si estás, si puedo encontrar nuestro
    Pasado en tu mirar

    Si ahora eres tu una canción sincera y nueva
    Tu dime si estás, si puedo encontrar nuestro
    Pasado en tu mirar

    Ya no puedo elegir, volveré junto a ti.
