I know you've been swarmed,
I read your complaint,
You're needing someone older.
And though I've been warned,
To live day by day,
There's something takin' over
Did you expect to kiss me one time,
While lookin' at me with the same eyes ever again?

So come on and say it!
So come on and say it!
It's time that we say it!

You can cross the line whenever you want to,
I'm calling it love soon.
Close your mind and waste sometime if you have to.
I'm calling it love soon
It's not about you now.
It's what we are

Your mother complains, that you need a man
You haven't mentioned me yet.
And all of your friends don't know who I am
I've been your best kept secret
I understand I wasn't part of the plan
A dollar short of it, and early
But I am your man.
So come on and face it
So come on and face it
It's time that we say it!

You can cross the line whenever you want to,
I'm calling it love soon.
Close your mind and waste sometime if you have to.
I'm calling it love soon
It's not about you now.
It's what we are
It's what we are

Let's bypass the bullshit
And move on because the minute hand
Moves faster than you think it does.
And by no fault of yours,
And by no fault of mine,
The bottom line is layin' in
The bed that we've been playin' in tonight
We've been playin' in tonight

I'm callin' it love soon
I'm callin' it love soon

You can cross the line whenever you want to,
I'm calling it love soon.
Close your mind and waste sometime if you have to.
I'm calling it love soon
It's not about you now.
It's what we are
It's what we are

    Why is everything John writes so biographical of my life? The girl can't make up her mind. What does she want? She isn't willing to recognize what it is that is between her and that guy. And time changes everything. He won't always be around for her when she grows up and changes her mind. grrr.... this love business is frustrating

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.
