You really do always want more
Out on the road all I want is a home
Then David spoke about my future
You lucky bastard with the beautiful wife she's mine

Ooooooh,ooooooooh,ooooooh,

I was born for a few reasons
To love my neighbor more than he loves his life
Got to say that it was easy
That sad, old man committed suicide last night

I've got another reason I want to go home
This city's fucking cold
I want to go home
I'm feeling codependent
I miss my baby girl
I miss my baby girl
I miss my oh my God
Oh my God!!

Ooooooooh

I really do always want more
Out on the road all I want is a warm home
Then David spoke about my future me
Winner's don't quit,
Keep your eye on the finish life

I was born for a few reasons
I love my neighbor more than he loves his wife
Got to say that it was easy to me
That sad old man, well she killed him last night

I've got another reason I want to go home
This city's fucking cold
I want to go home
I'm feeling codependent
I miss my baby girl
I miss my baby girl
I miss my, oh my, God

I found the other reason I want to go home
This city's cold and old
and I want to go home
I'm feeling codependent
I miss my baby girl
I'm feeling codependant
I want to go home

I've got another reason I want to go home
This city's fucking cold
I want to go home
I'm feeling codependent
I miss my baby girl
I miss my baby girl
I miss my, my, my, my, my, my

Ba, da, badum, bada, ba, ba, ba, ba,
Ba, da, badum, bada, ba, ba, ba, ba
Ba, da, bum, bada, badadum, badaba
(repeat) (listen to the song you'll get it)

    i think its actually "then David spoke about my future and me / winners don't quit, keep your eye on the finish line"

    David being David Bazan, of Pedro the Lion who released an album titled Winners Never Quit which features, the title track Winners Never Quit and a song titled Eye on the Finish Line.

    could be completely wrong though

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

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.
