She says she's no good with words, but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out a joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too overdramatic
Tonight it's it can't get much worse
Versus no one should ever feel like

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I write them
So you need them just to get by

Dance, dance
We're falling apart to halftime
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

You always fold just before you're found out
Drink up it's last call last resort
But only the first mistake and I

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I write them
So you need them just to get by

Why don't you show me a little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress, love?

Dance, dance
We're falling apart to halftime
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love if they knew how misery loved me

Why don't you show me a little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress? (Mattress, mattress)
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me

Dance, dance
We're falling apart to halftime
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you love to lead

Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love if they knew how misery loved me

Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance

    I love this song

    She says she's no good with words but I’m worse Barely stuttered out A joke of a romantic or stuck to my tongue And weighed down with words too overdramatic Tonight it's "it cant get much worse" Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."

    I’m two quarters and a heart down And I don’t want to forget how your voice sounds These words are all I have so I write them I need them just to get by We will own the thoughts We'll own the songs stuck in your head We'll leave you kicking and screaming so you can thank us in the end

    Dance, Dance We're falling apart to half time Dance, Dance And these are the lives you love to lead Dance this is the way they know If they knew how misery loved me

    (I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me, crawling into be with me)

    You always fold just before you bow out Drink up its last call Last resort But only the first mistake and I...

    I’m two quarters and a heart down And I don’t want to forget how your voice sounds These words are all i have so I write them I need them just to get by

    Why don't you show me a little bit of spunk You can save it for his mattress (with love)

    Dance, Dance We're falling apart to half time Dance, Dance And these are the lives you love to lead Dance this is the way they know If they knew how misery loved me

    Why don't you show me a little bit of spunk You can save it for his mattress I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me

Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
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.

Siberian Kiss

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.
