Never wanna stand up for myself
Never wanna get in the way, I said it
I don't know what the plan is,
But you can share with me, 'cause I'll
Be listening here,
To everything you say, I won't turn away
And I listen, open up my heart and
I must say that I love you, so

Oo la love, I've fallen in love, and it's better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I've fallen in love, and it's better this time than I've ever known

Every day is a battle I face
Strange life I lead but it's what you've decided
I'll give it all into your hands,
Do what you will with me, and oh
I'll smile when you speak
Remember those times I was hoping for something
And shaking my head from all I've done
But you never left me

Oo la love, I've fallen in love, and it's better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I've fallen in love, and it's better this time than I've ever known
Oo la love, I've fallen in love, and it's better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I've fallen in love, and it's better this time than I've ever known

Give it up for you, I would give it up for you
I would give it up for you, I'd do anything for you

Oo la love, I've fallen in love, and it's better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I've fallen in love, and it's better this time than I've ever known
Oo la love, I've fallen in love, and it's better this time than ever before
Oo la love, I've fallen in love, and it's better this time than I've ever known

I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love

    ahh just love this song so much, can't get enough of FOSTER THE PEOPLE, really cant. Incredible talent!

    I see this song as a guy/girl looking at a certain someone who they're just inevitably falling for, seeing as they 'never left' them whilst they've been trying to get through some shit. Now they're falling in love and its better than before, suggesting they've already been in and come out of a relationships (which perhaps hasn't ended so well) so this is truly something special which makes them 'smile when you speak' so 'together and forever' it is! They're feeling hope again, love again!

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 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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
