Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there and I'm here waitin'

And I wrote this letter in my head
'Cause so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone and I can't think straight

This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
Yeah

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cause I know I won't forget you

Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place to never come back

So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting

This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again
Yeah

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
'Cause somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cause I know I won't forget you

I close my eyes and all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep I can't forget you
Nanana nanana
And I'd do anything for you
Nanana nanana na

I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
'Cause somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
To fall asleep with you, with you, yeah

I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
'Cause I know I won't forget you

    Damn love sucks! Why can't we just fine someone in life who is willing to love us back the same way? These lyrics mean so much to me, it's all so true... love hurts... but I still belive the pain we all endure is well worth it if we manage to find someone who feels the same as you do and happiness is complete.

    its been a long long time, since i lost myself put my pride down on the table, put my fear on the shelf so i bought myself a thrown to reside and let myself go but ive travelled much too far, where ive gone i'll never know

    (chorus) what a long, long time long, long time It's been a little old while since i felt so fine wanderin' in the rain losing my mind what a long, long time x2

    my days i've spent relaxing turned to nights relaxin' too a thousand eyes upon me, but my sights are missing you so this time i swear i will loosen my grip on past times, and bad lines, and meaningless trips.

    chorus

    so, over and over mile signs pass by my side the more you try to find yourself the more you tend to hide behind these forest trees and greens that blind your eyes to lounge upon that thrown i bought, confer there with the wise

    chorus

    so here we appear, the rest lost themselves in a pit of fear for who? what can i do? but let them all come through the wall and though some oppose many of these things i know i'll stay here alone, and lose myself on the riverways of days i'm coming home.

    chorus

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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/
