I saw her yesterday
And I've never I felt the feeling
Like the one I felt today
And now
It's taking over me
I've never met anyone like you
'cause I never could find the words to write you

[Chorus]
She's been on my mind (she's working overtime)
She's got perfect reason's
Said she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I believe her when she says
Life could be so simple if we all just learned to pray

She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight
Tonight

She sits there all alone
And she's reading from the chapter
That she sometimes calls her own
And now
She's taking over me
'cause the girl I once rejected
Has now become the girl of my dreams

[Chorus]

She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight

She's not an ordinary girl,
I can see it in her eyes
I'm just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night (oh last night)

She's been on my mind
She's working overtime
She's got perfect reason's
Said she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I believe her when she said
Life could be so simple if we all just learned to pray

She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight

She's not an ordinary girl,
I can see it in her eyes
I'm just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night

    "She's taking over me cause the girl I once REJECTED has now become the girl of my dreams."

    This is my favorite line because it's amazing how God can change our hearts to see others differently. (There's a guy with whom I think I would fit quite well, but I don't think he's realized yet. Maybe he will one day.)

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.

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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
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.
