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.
I found a line and then it grew
I found myself still thinking of you
And I felt so empty and now I'm fine
But it's still burning when will you be mine?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time to change, don't you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time for us to walk away from here
Stories in our lives, we keep them all inside
Stories in our lives, we keep them all inside
Look at me still in your mind
Our memories so intertwined
Well you broke through and found your way
And so did I, no need to stay
The same old picture, tried and true
We've been through that, let's look fro something new
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time to change, don't you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time for us to walk away from here
Do you remember lying on the beach so late at night?
Do you remember running through the sprinklers that night?
Do you remember all the songs that I have wrote for you?
All the songs that I have wrote for you
For you
I remember the way you made me feel when I was with you
I remember the smile that always brought me back to you
That look in your eyes, I never thought that this could be untrue
That look in your eyes, I never thought that this could be untrue
Untrue-do-la-la
Do-do-la-da
Do-do-la-da
Do-do-la-da-do
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time to change, don't you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time for us to walk away from here
I found myself still thinking of you
And I felt so empty and now I'm fine
But it's still burning when will you be mine?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time to change, don't you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time for us to walk away from here
Stories in our lives, we keep them all inside
Stories in our lives, we keep them all inside
Look at me still in your mind
Our memories so intertwined
Well you broke through and found your way
And so did I, no need to stay
The same old picture, tried and true
We've been through that, let's look fro something new
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time to change, don't you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time for us to walk away from here
Do you remember lying on the beach so late at night?
Do you remember running through the sprinklers that night?
Do you remember all the songs that I have wrote for you?
All the songs that I have wrote for you
For you
I remember the way you made me feel when I was with you
I remember the smile that always brought me back to you
That look in your eyes, I never thought that this could be untrue
That look in your eyes, I never thought that this could be untrue
Untrue-do-la-la
Do-do-la-da
Do-do-la-da

Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time to change, don't you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time for us to walk away from here

Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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.

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”
GREAT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so sad and touching... song pretty sraight forward, unlike many other trapt songs, cuz usually they have a deeo, hidden meaning, but even though this one doesnt... its still kick ass awesome!!!
