Oh, it's safe to say
I knew it,
Yeah, I knew it all along,
Asking the same questions,
Singing the same songs.

I've been gone for a while,
Been traveling alone,
Searching for a new life,
When I already had my own.

So walk back home,
On every road.

On every road we crossed alone,
We're thinking of yours we left back home.
So follow the lines,
And I'll be your guide.
Cause we're the lucky ones,
On every road.

Yeah it's safe to say,
I knew that all the selfish things I do
Would eventually come creeping back around.

Oh way back when,
You called me young,
Said we're innocent and dumb,
I knew that you'd come creeping back around,
Again.

So walk back home,
On every road.

On every road we crossed alone,
We're thinking of yours we left back home.
So follow the lines,
And I'll be your guide.
Cause we're the lucky ones,
On every road.

Huh.

So walk back home,
On every road.

On every road we crossed alone,
We're thinking of yours we left back home.
So follow the lines,
And I'll be your guide,
Cause we're the lucky ones,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

On every road we crossed alone,
We're thinking of yours we left back home.
So follow the lines,
And I'll be your guide.
Cause we're the lucky ones,
(So lucky, baby)

On every road we crossed alone,
We're thinking of yours we left back home.
So follow the lines,
And I'll be your guide.
Cause we're the lucky ones,
On every road.

    I think it's "walk that curb" instead of "walk that comb."

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
