You're my size I need to try you on
Someone in between the right and wrong
Through everything you kept your wings apart
Through everything you stayed that same old heart
And when I've had enough

She drains me when I'm empty
She fills herself, she takes it all
In too deep, she's spilling over me
In too deep, she's spilling over me
Go on and have it all

Running through this maze you hold me in
Searching all these days to find the end
Your everything, your everything I'm not
But I'm anything, I'm anyone you want
And when I've had enough

She drains me when I'm empty
She fills herself, she takes it all
In too deep, she's spilling over me
In too deep, she's spilling over me
Go on and have it all
Have it all
Have it all

Your everything, you're everything I'm not
I'm anything, I'm anyone you want

She drains me when I'm empty
She fills herself, she takes it all
In too deep, she's spilling over me
In too deep, she's spilling over me
In too deep, she's spilling over me (have it all)
In too deep, she's spilling over me

Have it all

    My Interpretation

    For me this song is about some dude that is very conflicted. I think that the general melody of the song describes a guy who is sad and doesn't have many things sorted out.

     then this guy meets a girl that he thinks (or others tell him) should be good for him, but he has a ver dull way of approaching this situations in general, almost like it is a duty (You're my size I need to try you on ). he starts to know more this girl but doesn't form a complete opinion about her (someone in between the right and wrong), but despite him being melancholic and gloomy she doesn't give up on him (through everything you kept your wings apart (she keeps 'flying' with him)) and doesn't change the way he treats him or feels about him (trough everything you stayed the same old heart).
    
      then he starts realising that when he thinks he cant be happy and that there are no such emotions inside him, she starts bringing some joy out of him (and when i've had enough, she drains me when im empty) and she doesn't mind that all the effort is made by her and that its up to her too make this work (she fills herself she takes it all), she takes every bit of happiness she can get from him. he thinks that he is committing way too much with her, but at the same time some of her personality is being transmitted to him (in too deep, she's spilling over me) and he starts to accept this (go on and have it all).
    
      He then starts panicking, he thinks that they are way to different to be together, she is way to cheerful and happy for him, so he tries to look for a way out (Running through this maze you hold me in, searching all these days to find the end , your everything, your everything I'm not) but this collides with the part of him that enjoys this connection and that would do anything to stay together (but im anything im anyone you want).
    
      After the second chorus he reinforce the idea of this conflict within him, he doesn't know what to do (Your everything you're everything I'm not, I'm anything I'm anyone you want ). in the song dave screams this quite strongly which emphasises the struggle.
    
      finally, after the last chorus, the song goes into this hard, dark outro, he hasn't made up his mind yet and you can tell that he is having a hard time deciding. and at the end the song ends abruptly, leaving us wondering what his desition was.

    to me, i think it's about a guy and a girl who have a connection, and well ya knowen you've got a connection with someone you can't just leave it, you've gotta try it out. and anyway, this girl is taking so much from him, she really tires him and wears him out, but he doesn't mind one bit because he's enjoying every second of it, hence him saying 'go on and have it all'.

    'you're my size I need to try you on' - he's attracted to her in many different ways and they have one of those special connections, so they need to try eachother out (i don't mean that in a rude way)

    uhhm yeah i'll leave the analysing there. but also, when i hear it, it does seem to me to be one of those songs thats has a kindof sexually charged sound, if you get what i mean....? ok ill shutup

    'someone inbetween the right and wrong' - she's not good for him but she's definitely not bad for him either'

    Song Meaning

    Let's be real. This song is quite obviously about a blow job. But, that said, I don't think the other posters are too far off. There may be another meaning here about the guy wanting to give all of himself to the girl, willing to be or do anything, not caring that she's using him, something along those lines.

    My Interpretation

    This lyrics are so wrong, I've tried to change them but some issues. This song is definitely about sex, the actually action taking place.
    Chorus: She drains me when I'm empty - she has sex with him even though he has ejaculated(empty).
    She fills herself, she takes it all - his genitals are entering her own.
    In to deep, she's spilling over me - she's doing her hard and she is ejaculating on to him.
    Go on and have it all - he's not stopping he is giving her more hard sex.

    I goes on and on throughout the song. It's rude and an awesome song :D

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in "There was a time you opened up every doorway you didn't mind if everything wasn't your way" then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else, "Don't pull away that goes against what you told me I look in your eyes I realize what you've sold me is love in a vacuum" so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it, "I think you've changed but you insist that that's not true" quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum", "You look so strange, so distant that you're hardly you Now I can see how you have been acting different You say it's me but I know that it isn't it's love in a vacuum" but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines "You will be lonely if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have, "Love in a vacuum and that's not enough love in a vacuum You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way You will be lonely if you leave me alone You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough" you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment, "You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough and just wait you will be lonely Love in a vacuum Love in a vacuum and that's not enough Love in a vacuum". 'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song. Quintessential Aimee Mann.

Spirit Within
Bertoldi Brothers
Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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”
