The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
When you have to look away
When you don't have much to say
That's when I love you
I love you just that way
To here you stumble when you speak
Or see you walk with two left feet
That's when I love you
I love you endlessly
And when your mad cause you lost the game
Forget I'm waiting in the rain
Baby I love you
I love you anyway
Cause here's my promise made tonight
You can count on me 4 life
Cause that's when I love you
When nothing you do can change my mind
The more I learn the more I love
The more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you
When I love you
No matter what
So when you turn to hide your eyes
Cause the movie it made you cry
That's when I love you
I love you
A little more each time
And when you can't quite match you clothes
Or when you laugh at your own jokes
That's when I love you I love you
More then you know
And when you forgot that we had a date
Or that look that you give when you show up late
Baby I love you ,I love you anyway
So here's my promise made tonight
You can count on me 4 life
Cause that's when I love you
When nothing you do can change my moind
The more I learn the more I love
The more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you
When I love you
No matter what
Oh that's when I love you when nothing baby, nothing you do could change my mind
The more I learn, the more I love, the more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you , when I love you no matter what
Oh no matter what
When you don't have much to say
That's when I love you
I love you just that way
To here you stumble when you speak
Or see you walk with two left feet
That's when I love you
I love you endlessly
And when your mad cause you lost the game
Forget I'm waiting in the rain
Baby I love you
I love you anyway
Cause here's my promise made tonight
You can count on me 4 life
Cause that's when I love you
When nothing you do can change my mind
The more I learn the more I love
The more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you
When I love you
No matter what
So when you turn to hide your eyes
Cause the movie it made you cry
That's when I love you
I love you
A little more each time
And when you can't quite match you clothes
Or when you laugh at your own jokes
That's when I love you I love you
More then you know
And when you forgot that we had a date
Or that look that you give when you show up late
Baby I love you ,I love you anyway
So here's my promise made tonight
You can count on me 4 life
Cause that's when I love you
When nothing you do can change my moind
The more I learn the more I love
The more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you
When I love you
No matter what
Oh that's when I love you when nothing baby, nothing you do could change my mind
The more I learn, the more I love, the more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you , when I love you no matter what
Oh no matter what

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I absolutely love this song. There is not a part of it that one person can't relate to. If ther is a couple out there looking for "the song" they should listen to this. She makes love sound so easy and so simple. She's just saying that she loves him no matter what he does.
