Oba, oba
She's my shoo shoo
And she knows that I'm her shoo shoo
Oba, oba
Take my hand now
And we're gonna make
A lovely samba

I'll try to make the sun shine on my way (tchuru ru uhh)
And paint a blue sky for today (bop shoobuh, shoobuh, bop shoobuh yeah)
And we'll be sitting on the grass
Smelling happiness
Don't wake me now
'Cause I'm dreamin' of my shoo shoo

Oba, oba
She's my shoo shoo
And she knows that I'm her shoo shoo
Oba, oba
Take my hand now
And we're gonna make
A lovely samba

The moon will rise as we walk by (tchuru ru uhh)
And all the stars will come behind us (bop shoobuh, shoobuh, bop shoobuh yeah)
We're gonna make our lives much bright
Smelling happiness
Don't wake me now
'Cause I'm dreamin' of my shoo shoo, uh uh

Oba, oba
She's my shoo shoo
And she knows that I'm her shoo shoo
Oba, oba
Take my hand now
And we're gonna make
A lovely samba

(Uh) (tu tu tu tu tu tu tu, tut ut tu) rrrrrrrr
Copacabana eh, Matilda ah ah (ah ah)
Copacabana eh, Matilda (ah ah)
Copacabana, ela é minha menina
Ah ah ah (minha menina)
Ah ha, ah ah

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.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
