You say I got no
Got no motivation
And that's about to drive you
Right out of your mind

You bought a one way ticket
To a destination
And now you're leaving me
And all your worries behind

Well, you said goodbye
To yesterday and all we ever knew
But you're not the only one
Feeling used

Baby, did we throw it all away
With all the stupid things we say
And all those
Little games we play?

Maybe you've heard it all
A million times
But I don't want to change the world
I just want to change your mind

And if I go now, would
I catch you at the station
Or would I find myself
Standing all alone

'Cause I got a bad
Bad, bad reputation
For not catching things
Until they're too far gone

You might think I'm crazy
Or just a bit confused
But you're all that I had left
So I got nothing left to lose

Baby, did we throw it all away
With all the stupid things we say
And all those
Little games we play?

Maybe you've heard it all
A million times
I don't want to change the world
I just want to change your mind
I just want to change your mind

Everybody

Said goodbye to yesterday
And all we ever knew
But you're all that I have left
So I've got nothing left to lose

Baby, did we throw it all away
With all the stupid things we say
And all those
Little games we play?

Maybe you've heard it all
A million times
I don't want to change the world
I just want to change your mind

Baby, did we throw it all away
With all the stupid things we say
And all the
Little games we play?

Maybe you've heard it
All a million times
I don't want to change the world
I just want to change your mind

I just want to change your mind
And I just want to change your mind
And I just want to change your mind
And I just want to change your mind

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
