It's undeniable, that we should be together
It's unbelievable, how I used to say that I'd fall never
It's basis you need to know you know just how I feel
And let me show you now that I'm for real
If all things in time, time will reveal

[One]
You're like a dream come true

[Two]
Just want to be with you

[Three]
Girl, it's plain to see that you're the only one for me and

[Four]
Repeat steps 1 through 3

[Five]
Make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one

It's so incredible the way things work themselves out
And unemotional once you know what it's all about
And undesirable for us to be apart
I never would have made it very far
'Cause you know you hold the keys to me heart 'cause

[One]
You're like a dream come true

[Two]
Just want to be with you

[Three]
Girl, it's plain to see that you're the only one for me and

[Four]
Repeat steps 1 through 3

[Five]
Make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one

Say farewell to the darkened night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life
Into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out the lifeline just in the nick of time

[One]
You're like a dream come true

[Two]
Just want to be with you

[Three]
Girl, it's plain to see that you're the only one for me and

[Four]
Repeat steps 1 through 3

[Five]
Make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one

[One]
You're like a dream come true

[Two]
Just want to be with you

[Three]
Girl, it's plain to see that you're the only one for me and

[Four]
Repeat steps 1 through 3

[Five]
Make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one

    This song is kinda depressing, but the lyrics just melt because Mark knows exactly who he wants, and pictures the whole world with her, and just needs to get the girl. He had to fall in love really bad or his loneliness would take the best of him, which is what he meant when he confessed that "You threw out the lifeline - Just in the nick of time."

    I love Mark Wills, but I love the original version better. That being said, the singer is telling his lover that there are so many reasons to be in love that if he needs helps remembering why they're in love or if they "run out of reasons," that they'll just go back to the first reason because it's enough. Great song! Brian McKnight knows!!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"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
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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
