Through these eyes
I can see loneliness heading my way
The light of love has gone out
Now your shadow's gone away
You took away the sound
The touch, the smell, my sight
To see your smile

Oh, if and when
You're headed back this way
Where love was found
Want you to know this girl
Will be around (still be around)
If you decide to mend a heart
That you broke in pieces

You told me when we first met
That you'd soon being going away
Because there is somebody else
Demanding all your time
She took away the sound
The touch, the smell, my sight
To see your smile

Oh, if and when
You're headed back this way
Where love was found
Want you to know this girl
Will be around (still gonna be around)
If you decide to mend a heart
That you broke in pieces, oh, baby

Loneliness, loneliness
Come on, come on back to me
I need your love, if and when (oh, baby)
You're headed back this way where love was found
Ooh, I need you
Want you to know this girl will still be around
I need your love, if and when, yeah, yeah
You're back this way again
If and when, come on back to me
You're headed back this way again where love was found
Want you to know this girl will still be around
Come on, come on, yeah, if and when, yeah
I need your love, you're back this way again, oho
If and when, if and when, you're headed back this way where love was found
Want you to know this girl will still be around
I'm going to be around, yeah, if and when
I'm going to be around, yeah, you're back this way again
If and when, you're headed back this way where love was found
Want you to know this girl will still be around
If and when, you're back this way again
If and when, you're headed back this way where love was found
Want you to know this girl will still be around
If and when, if and when, you're back this way again
If and when, yeah, yeah, you're headed back this way where love was found
Want you to know this girl will still be around, yeah
If ans when, if and when, if and when you're back this way again
If and when, you're headed back this way where love was found
Want you to know this girl will still be around

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
