I'm walkin' past your house
But I'm never gonna stop there
Just to look at my clock and think how
You love talking fast
And every sound that I hear from you mouth is so deliberate
So maybe I can but maybe you will know
Never nice at all but we can work it out
Always sexy when you chew that straw
Especially when you wear Lacoste

All this lust that you're keeping
And me I've got a crush
Can I sleep inside I know you're nervous though
So I promise to leave before your mother wakes up in the morning

We're sleeping head to toe
And everything that I wanna know
Is on a local train outside of Tokyo
Living in a tiny, overcrowded town

Still you won't call me back
And every text that I get from you is so so serious
But I'm sitting at home sippin' this Miso
Ticking raindrops upon my window pane
You're texting too fast for me to reply
Never looking when you type T9

All this love that you're keepin'
And me I've got a crush
Can I sleep inside I know you're nervous though
So I promise to leave before your mother wakes up in the morning

Sleep on the train to Tokyo
Google yourself when you get home
Sleep on the train to Tokyo
Google yourself when you get home

All this love that you're keepin'
And me I've got a crush, and me I've got a crush
All this love, this love
All this love
All this love that you're keepin'
And me I've got a crush
And me I've got a crush

    My Opinion

    I really enjoy this new band, who is a compilation of Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Riot if I'm not mistaken; this song is by far the best on their album which is full of potential...

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.

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”

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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
