This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Every time I walk along this street, I think of you
And given it's the city's major thoroughfare, I'm screwed
Taking an alternative's a little hard to do
It's the street I live on
Massachusetts Avenue
There's the crosswalk where a milk truck almost ran me down
The day I finally saw you when you got back into town
I don???t know if you saw me, 'cause I turned so quick around
Hiding into traffic, clearly dying to be found
Do you remember crying in the park and shutting up?
Do you remember running and me trying to catch up?
Do you remember loving me more than I could be loved?
I chased you for so long, and when I caught you, I gave up
There's no other way to get to work
After all these years, it just gets worse
Memories so dull and well-rehearsed
Storrow Drive is pretty in the springtime
Storrow Drive is pretty in the fall
You don't have go home in a straight line
You don't have to go back home at all
There's the cemetery where I broke your heart in two
And there's the pair of stones that we had laughed was me and you
I stared at them a long time, and I asked if it was true
If I still really loved you
And they answered
Yes, I do
(I do)
People come and go, but these four lanes will never move
Little peach and exes' Jeeps eventually die, too
Even if the russians came and named it something new
It would always look like Massachusetts Avenue
Storrow Drive is pretty in the springtime
Storrow Drive is pretty in the fall
You don't have go home in a straight line
You don't have to go back home at all
Storrow Drive is pretty in the springtime
Storrow Drive is pretty in the fall
You don't have go home in a straight line
You don't need to be alone at all
And given it's the city's major thoroughfare, I'm screwed
Taking an alternative's a little hard to do
It's the street I live on
Massachusetts Avenue
There's the crosswalk where a milk truck almost ran me down
The day I finally saw you when you got back into town
I don???t know if you saw me, 'cause I turned so quick around
Hiding into traffic, clearly dying to be found
Do you remember crying in the park and shutting up?
Do you remember running and me trying to catch up?
Do you remember loving me more than I could be loved?
I chased you for so long, and when I caught you, I gave up
There's no other way to get to work
After all these years, it just gets worse
Memories so dull and well-rehearsed
Storrow Drive is pretty in the springtime
Storrow Drive is pretty in the fall
You don't have go home in a straight line
You don't have to go back home at all
There's the cemetery where I broke your heart in two
And there's the pair of stones that we had laughed was me and you
I stared at them a long time, and I asked if it was true
If I still really loved you
And they answered
Yes, I do
(I do)
People come and go, but these four lanes will never move
Little peach and exes' Jeeps eventually die, too
Even if the russians came and named it something new
It would always look like Massachusetts Avenue
Storrow Drive is pretty in the springtime
Storrow Drive is pretty in the fall
You don't have go home in a straight line
You don't have to go back home at all
Storrow Drive is pretty in the springtime
Storrow Drive is pretty in the fall
You don't have go home in a straight line
You don't need to be alone at all

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
A song about how mundane things can constantly remind you of your ex, and sometimes there's no escaping it. A familiar theme to listeners of The Jeep Song. I like this one considerably more.
