A musician falls in love with a girl, and his dream is to travel around and play his music. The girl in this story needs to stay put for her life. Her wants her to go, she wants him to stay. So they end up parting ways. It ends up being something the guy just can't get over in the end. A more poetic take I tried on a classic love song, instead of the same cookie-cutter words and themes.

This is very much in the vein of an old-school folk song. It's basically just about someone's life down by the river. It's where they feel most at home and where they've lived most of their life. In southern states here in America, the riverside is its own subculture.

A lot is said about love at first sight, and fools rushing in, etc. Though millions upon millions of people do hit it off right away, and they don't need to date a lot to fall in love. This is a song about a guy who falls in love with a girl on the first date and wants to be with her. Of course, change some pronouns around and it can work for anyone.

The "Cardinal's Inn" is a play on words: Cardinal sin. This is a song about spouses who show up so often to the same seedy motel that it's taken on a different name. It could work in any genre. It's a little on the upbeat side, the way I wrote it.

This lyric could be about a relationship, or just a friendship where the person doesn't care that you're caught in a web so to speak. Time and time again they let you down, but you keep going back for more. They find it amusing that you do, and they turn up the heat and do it even more. Basically they don't care at all, and think it's funny that you try so hard and they have total control over you. This happens all too often in relationship and friendships. That's because people are so consumed with themselves, it's so selfish that they take whatever they can get from a friendship or a relationship and just keep on going without reciprocating.
