I can't help that I like to be kissed
And I wouldn't mind if my name changed to Mrs.
This is one side, my conventional side
An attraction to tradition
My vintage disposition
My sincere architecture
And I want to cook him dinner
But I'm more indecisive then ever
And who believes in forever?

Who will be the one to marry me?

A girl in the world barking up the wrong tree
A creature conditioned to enjoy matrimony
Crumbling continuity, I pick up the pieces
The ceremony makes me zealous
As the past quickly ceases
Fear from being neutered
I'm now prude, now defensive
Quickly I'm altered and tempted by new love only rented

Do you believe you'll marry me?
You might be the one to marry me

Back, looking back, looking back at me (back)
(I'm not how I used to be) I'm not how I used to be
Take me back, take me back into history (take me back)
Diamond ring, tie me down, just like it used to be (tie me down, how it used to be)

Tie me down how it used to be (ooh)
Not how I used to be
I'm not how I used to be

Who will be the one to marry me?
Who will be the one to marry me?

I'm Not how I used to be
I'm not how I used to be

Looking back, looking back at me (not how I used to be)
I'm not how I used to be (I'm not how I used to be)
Take me back, back into history (take me back)
Diamond ring, tie me down just like it used to be

Marry me
Marry me
Forever and ever and ever and ever

Happily ever after
Happily ever after
Happily ever after
Happily ever after

Something old, something new (resented)
Something borrowed, something blue
(Rented, apprehensive)

Here comes the bride (you meant it)
All dressed in white (you hinted)
Here comes the bride (did you mean it)
All dressed in white
Something old, something blue (pretty when I'm faithful)
Something borrowed, something blue

It's pretty when I'm faithful
Mm, and ever, ever, ever, ever (and share a heart)
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever and ever and ever (we'll share a heart)
Happily ever after

Happily ever after
Happily ever after (happily ever after)
You and me
You and me (happily ever after)
Probably

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.

Little Feat
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”

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
