I had a dream last night we
Drove out to see Las Vegas
We lost ourselves in the bright lights
I wish you could have seen us
Beggin' for change to get home
Or at least San Francisco
Let's put a ten on the high card
And spend a summer on the west coast

Down and to the left
Here's the map and the pen, the place you pointed at
Be California's best
All I ask, all I ask

Hey, please don't tell me
That I'm dreaming
When all I ever wanted was to
Dream another sunset with you
If I roll over
When it's over
I'll take this Cali sunrise with me
And wake up with the fondest memories

We made love by the ocean
As the waves crashed around you
Sunsets never were so bright
And the skies never so blue
You opened up into my arms
And we laughed as I held you
I'll never go back to Georgia
Not at least 'til I have to

Down and to the left
Here's the map and the pen, the place you pointed at
Be California's best
All I ask, all I ask

Hey, please don't tell me
That I'm dreaming
When all I ever wanted was to
Dream another sunset with you
If I roll over
When it's over
I'll take this Cali sunrise with me
And wake up with the fondest memories
Memories

I had a dream last night we
Drove out to see Las Vegas
We lost ourselves in the bright lights

Hey, please don't tell me
That I'm dreaming
When all I ever wanted was to
Dream another sunset with you
If I roll over
When it's over
I'll take this Cali sunrise with me
And wake up with the fondest memories

We made love by the ocean
As the waves crashed around you
Sunsets never were so bright
And the skies never so blue
You opened up into my arms
And we laughed as I held you
I'll never go back to Georgia
Not at least 'til I have to
Down and to the left

    These lyrics are 1000% correct. Trust me.

    I had a dream last night we Drove out to see Las Vegas We lost ourselves in the bright lights I wish you could have seen us Begging for change to get home Or at least San Francisco We put a ten on the high card And spent a summer on the west coast You wore that red shirt that I love I sang the songs that I wrote you We laughed our way down the beaches As we danced around the issue

    Down and to the left (Here's a map and a pen, that place you pointed at.) California's Best (All I Ask, All i ask)

    And please don't tell me that I'm dreamin' When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with you If i roll over When it's over I'll take this Cali sunrise with me And wake up with the fondest memories

    We made love by the ocean As the waves crashed around you The sunset's never were so bright And the skies, never so blue You were looking up into my arms And we laughed as I held you I'll never go back to Georgia Not at least 'till I have to

    Down and to the left (Here's a map and a pen, that place you pointed at.) Be California's Best (All I Ask, All i ask)

    And please don't tell me that I'm dreamin' When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with you If I roll over When it's over I'll take this Cali sunrise with me And wake up with the fondest memories Memories

    I had a dream last night we Drove out to see Las Vegas We lost ourselves in the bright lights

    Please don't tell me that I'm dreamin' When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with you If i roll over when it's over I'll take this Cali sunrise with me And wake up with the fondest memories

    We made love by the ocean As the waves crashed around you The sunset's never were so bright And the skies, never so blue You were looking up into my arms And we laughed as I held you I'll never go back to Georgia Not at least 'till I have to

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Album art
Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
