These miles and miles that keep me from your heart
Seem to grow just a little bit farther away
Each day

These nights and nights that leave me chasing stars for you
Just seem to sweep me out to space
Untraced

But count me in
I can't pretend
That I'm letting go

Hey there girl so nice to see you
Don't play games
You know I need you bad
So bad
Oh too tired to say it's getting old
Let's take a walk
Let's take a walk out in the cold
I'll keep you warm
I'll keep you warm
Just let me get a little bit closer to you

From coast to coast I'll make this toast
Sing songs for you just to watch you sail away
From me

But please don't leave
You're a part of me
I'm never letting go

Hey there girl so nice to see you
Don't play games
You know I need you bad
So bad
Oh too tired to say it's getting old
Let's take a walk
Let's take a walk out in the cold
I'll keep you warm
I'll keep you warm
Just let me get a little bit closer to you

All the world can't stop me now
I'm all for you all of me now
So come and take my hand tonight
I'm lost for you
I'm lost in time

All the world can't keep me from your heart
I'm taking every part
There's no one left for us to find
Cause I am yours and you are mine

Hey there girl so nice to see you
Don't play games
You know I need you bad
So bad
Oh too tired to say it's getting old
Let's take a walk
Let's take a walk out in the cold
I'll keep you warm
I'll keep you warm
Just let me get a little bit closer to you

From coast to coast I'll make this toast
Sing songs for you just to watch you sail away

    Probably about a girl who is far away from him. A girl he wants a relationship with who lives far away? And when they are together all he wants to be is close to her.

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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
