Hey, hey, hey
La, la, la, la, la
Hey, hey, hey
La, la, la, la, la

You come from here
I come from there

You rock out in your room
I rock a world premiere

We're more alike than
Anybody could ever tell
(Ever tell)

Friday, we're cool
Monday, we're freaks

Sometimes we rule
Sometimes we can't even speak

But we can kick it up and
Let loose and l-o-l (l-o-l)

It may seem cliche
For me to wanna say
That you're not alone

And you can call me uncool
But it's a simple fact
I got your back
Yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause we're one and the same
We're something more than ordinary
One and the same
I think we're almost legendary
You and me the perfect team
Chasing down the dream
We're one and the same
Hey, hey, hey
La,la,la,la,la

I'm kind of like you
You're kind of like me

We write the same song
In a different key

It's got a rhythm
You and me
Can get along
(Get along)

And it may seem cliche
For me to wanna say
That you're not alone

And you can call me uncool
But it's a simple fact
I still got your back

'Cause we're one and the same
We're anything but ordinary
One and the same
I think we're almost legendary
You and me the perfect team
Shaking up the scene
We're one and the same

'Cause we're one and the same
We're anything but ordinary
One and the same
We're something more than momentary

'Cause we're one
Yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause we're one
I think we're almost legendary
We're anything but ordinary
You and me the perfect team
Chasing down the dream
Oh, you and me the perfect team
Shaking up the scene
We're one and the same

Hey, hey, hey
La, la, la, la, la
Hey, hey, hey

    My Interpretation

    Its a great friendship song. It just is saying that their two unique friends who are there for each other and help each other (got your back). Great song, even though since Demi has such a powerful voice you can't really hear Selena's voice as much. But its still great!

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

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.
