I want a big red car
& I want a fancy new guitar
I want a house with a back deck
& I want to come home with a big pay cheque

Chorus:
But I cant have everything I want
'Cause I can't have you

I want to be a star
& I want to be of age to get in to the bar
I want to ride a Harley Davidson
& I want to live in a great big Mansion

Chorus

I want to sleep for hours & hours
& I want a garden full of beautiful sunflowers
I want to go, to be seen
& I want to be friends with Tom Petty

Chorus

I want someone to grant my wishes
& I want a boy who'll blow me kisses
I want a friend that I can care for
& I want to find a love that's not so painful

    I just added the song lyrics to this song cuz its one of my most fave songs.. EVER. Everyone should go listen to it lol. Anywayz I think its about loving someone and all the great things that come along with love. The fact that you feel like you can accomplish anything with them in your life, but that you cant have them, so therefore you cant have anything you want. You just cant seem to be happy because they are missing from your life so everything else seems like its missing too. Like feeling disconnected. Incomplete. Tortoured. I really love the line "And I want to find a love that's not so painful". Its prolly the best line of this song, or atleast the one that really pulls on my heart strings.

    Dont we all wish we could find that? I know I do.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song "Fortnight" by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word "fortnight" shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.

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.
