And you said it would be funny
To keep me hanging in suspense,
Then I'd run over to your house
And I'd scale the chain link fence
That, borders your back yard
And that I'd climb through your window
And I'd whisper that I love you
As you fall out of your clothes

And we'd lay there in the darkness
Like the dream of you I had
Where we captured all the fireflies
And we knew what time we had
Could be counted on our finger tips
That almost made you cry
You let me hold you tightly
As we said all our goodbyes

May I say I loved you more?
May I say I loved you more?

And it must have been an hour
That I clutched you in my arms
And I must have said the the right things
Because you instantly felt warm
And you heard my heart stop beating
And you wanted not to cry
As your sympathetic whispers
They told a tale of bad goodbyes

And you swore you say me laughing
And I swore I saw you smile
And this time we spent together
Has got to last us quite awhile
As I take this piece of you with me
I'll carry it to my grave
Knowing that for someone
You're an angel sent to save

May I say I loved you more?
May I say I loved you more?
(Keep breathing my angel,
If you go down I go down with you
Keep breathing, just keep breathing)

Let's drink to the memories that we shared
Down one to all the hopes and cares
Here's to for being unaware, that you're gone
Because before too long you'll be a memory

Let's drink to the memories that we shared
(Before too long you'll be a memory)
Down one to all the hopes and cares
(Because before too long you'll be a memory)
Here's to for being unaware
(I said before too long you'll be a memory)
That you're gone
I said before too long you'll be a memory

    ok, this is just my take on it cause when i apply a recent relatioship to this it makes sense

    i think the song is talking about a couple that really loved each other, but somethign happened, maybe rust was lost or something, idk... but they had to break up and neither of them wanted to...they just knew they had to.... so theyre kind of like, spending their last night together... and like, having a happy tiem ONE last time before its all over, and hes saying that hes upset but he knows he has to go....and hes saying that he knows that shes going to be someone esles true love someday.....but hes still mad at her for having to do it... and hes trying to forget about it... probably gettin drunk, as he thinks about the last happy memory they had

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
Album art
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.
