Why are you so far from me?
In my arms is where you ought to be.

How long will you make me wait?
I don't know how much more I can take.

I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
How I do

Slowly counting down the days
'Til I finally know your name

Oh, the way your hand feels round my waist
the way you laugh
the way your kisses taste

I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
How I do
How I do

I've missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
Oh how I want to

Dear, whoever you might be
I'm still waiting patiently

    This song is about a love that hasn't yet shown themselves. "Dear whoever you might be," as in I don't know you, but I know you are out there. "I missed you, but I haven't met you," meaning the same thing: I know what I'm missing, in terms of love, and I know that person is out there for me. "The way your hand feels round my waist the way you laugh the way your kisses taste," is saying that I know our love will be perfect, I can almost feel even the littlest parts of this relationship I have coming, whenever, with whomever. Beautifully written song with plenty of hope.

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.

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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
