Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh

So many times
I thought I had it in my hands
But just like grains of sand
Love slipped through my fingers
And so many nights
I asked the Lord above
Please make me lucky enough
To find a love that lingers

Something keeps telling me
That you could be my answered prayer
You must be heaven sent, I swear
'Cause

Something happens when you look at me
I forget to speak
Something happens when you kiss my mouth
My knees get so weak
Could it be true, this is what God has meant for me?
'Cause baby, I can't believe
That something like you could happen to me

Hey, yeah
Something like you, ooh

Girl, in your eyes
I feel your fire burn (feel your fire burn)
Oh, your secrets I will learn
Even if it takes forever
With you by my side
I can do anything (can do anything)
I don't care what tomorrow brings
As long as we're together

My heart is telling me
That you could be my 'meant to be'
I know it more each time we touch
'Cause

Something happens when you look at me
I forget to speak (yeah)
Something happens when you kiss my mouth
My knees get so weak (no, no, no, no)
Could it be true, this is what God has meant for me?
'Cause baby, I can't believe
That something like you could happen to me

Something magical (something magical)
Something spiritual (something spiritual)
Something stronger than the two of us alone, yeah
Something physical
Something undeniable (something undeniable)
Nothing like anything (anything)
That I've ever known
'Cause

(Something) something happens when you look at me
(Happens) I forget to speak (something happens, baby)
(Something) something happens when you kiss my mouth
(Happens) my knees get so weak (oh)
(Could it be) could it be true, this is what God has meant for me?
(You were meant for me?)
'Cause baby, I can't believe, no, whoa
That something like you (something like you)
Something like you
That something like you could happen to me

Something happened
Yeah hey
Ooh, hmm
Can't believe that you happened to me
Yeah

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
