Knew I could never hold that girl.
She was born to see the world.
All I got is a picture she mailed me.
Barefoot in the snow white sand;
A bag of sea shells in her hand.
She finally found a paradise it seems...

[Chorus:]

On the coast of somewhere beautiful,
Trade winds blowin' through her hair,
Sunlight dancin' on the water,
And I wish I was there.
Don't know how I'm gonna find her,
All I know so far...
She's on the coast of somewhere beautiful,
Runnin' with my heart.

Sometimes when the sun goes down
Shadows fall across this little town,
And I close my eyes and I drift away
To another place in another time,
When the world was ours and she was mine,
I dream of holdin' her again someday...

[Chorus:]

Don't know how I'm gonna to find her,
All I know so far...
She's on the coast of somewhere beautiful,
Runnin with my heart.

Oh, she's runnin' with my heart.

On the coast of somewhere beautiful.

    This song is about love at first sight. This guy fell deeply in love with that girl, but soon realized she had to leave, and that it was ment to be that way. You know the saying, sometimes we gotta let go of the things we love the most...? This is what it means. Even though his life may mean nothing without her, he knows that she has to go, for her sake. But still he holds on to that beautiful thought of her returning someday.

    The title to me means that she can make anywhere that perfect sunset, or make the beautiful blue sky shine through... this song means so much to me, and i hope everyone could have a song that means as much to them as this one means to me!

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
