And if I was a sailor
Id sail the seven seas
To tell you ?baby I don?t want you to leave?
You see this world is such a sad place
And without your pretty face
I'm sure its gonna wind up much worse

And I know that you?ll see someday that I can't live without you
And I know what I say is true cause I'm so stuck on you girl

I'm in love from the first time I let my eyes on you
I sure do do do do do
There?s nothing I can do
And I?m in love from the first time I let my lips on yours
Now you?re walking out my door
And there?s nothing I can do

And if I could explore the world
I?d bring you along
We?d go to New York to Timbuktu
But truly I am set
Right here at Denny?s drinking coffee and sharing a cigarette


And I know that you?ll see someday that I can't live without you
And I know what I say is true cause I'm so stuck on you girl

I'm in love from the first time I let my eyes on you
I sure do do do do do
There?s nothing I can do
And I?m in love from the first time I let my lips on yours
Now you?re walking out my door
And there?s nothing I can do

I?m in love with you.

    "nevershoutalex" you OBVIOUSLY don't know how to read. I posted these lyrics after I saw a video of him singing it on youtube. I said I wasn't sure if it was happy or not, and if it wasn't, I would change the title of the song.

    My Interpretation

    I think this song is about him being with a girl and the girl thinks he has nothing to offer so shes leaving and hes trying to convince her that hell always love her and to stay... agree?

    @nevershoutalex, "Happy" is a whole different song. This is "Simple Enough". Don't comment unless you know what your talking about.

    K peopleeeee. Get it right. It's "Truly I am set" Not "Truly I am sad" Or "Cruelly" It's quite obvious what he's saying. You're all just retarded

    I think it's about his ex-girlfriend Alison Jenkins. She was a year older than Chris and she moved to New York City. She followed her dreams and got out of Joplin.

    All by ear from videos.

    I'm just assuming it's "Happy" because he's been playing it at his shows and he said it was going to be the first single from his full length and it'll be the first he posts from the LP, haha. If it's not, I'll just edit the name of the song ;D

    to me it sounds more like "cruelly i'm set" instead of "truly i'm sad" but i'm not really sure

    These aren't the right lyrics

    there are.

    You make me happy Whether you know it or not We should be happy That's what I said from the start I am so happy Knowing you are the one that i want for the rest of my days. For the rest of my days. Yeah all of my days.

    You're lookin' so cool You're lookin' so fly I cant deny that when I'm staring you down and dead in the eye I wanna try to be the person you want the person you need its hard to conceive that somebody like you could be with someone like me

    I'm happy knowing that you are mine The grass is greener on the other side The more I think, the more i wish That we could lay here for hours and just reminisce.

    ooh, ooh.

    You're looking so fresh Its catching my eye! Why, oh why did i not see this before The girl I adore was right in front of me And now I'll take a step back and look in your eye And ask why it took so long to see we're meant to be.

    I'm happy knowing that you are mine The grass is greener on the other side The more I think, the more i wish That we could lay here for hours and just reminisce.

    on the good, the bad, the ugly The smiles, the laughs, the funny All the things we put each other through Its for you, for you, for you!

    You make me happy Whether you know it or not We should be happy That's what I said from the start I am so happy Knowing you are the one that i want for the rest of my days. For the rest of my days.

    I'm happy knowing that you are mine The grass is greener on the other side The more I think, the more i wish That we could lay here for hours and just reminisce.

    ooh, ooh.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
