Have you ever wonder where the story ends
And how it all began? I do (I do, I do, I do)
Did you ever dream you were the movie star
With popcorn in your hand? I did (I did, I did, I did)

Do you ever feel you're someone else inside
And no one understands you are (you are)
And wanna disappear inside a dream
But never wanna wake, wake up
And then you stumble on tomorrow
And trip over today

Would you be happier if you were someone together?
Would sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part?
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather?
You're gonna be just fine (gonna be just fine)

Are you not afraid to tell your story now
But everyone is gone? It's too late (too late, too late)
Was everything you've ever said or done
Not the way you planned, mistake?
And so you promised that tomorrow will be different than today

Would you be happier if you were someone together?
Would sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part?
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather?
You're gonna be just fine (you're gonna be just fine)

I think you're gonna be just fine
You're gonna be just fine (fine)
So don't worry, baby (don't worry, baby)
You're racing for tomorrow
Not finished with today

Would you be happier if you were someone together?
Would sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part?
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather?
I think you're gonna be just fine (gonna be just fine)

Would we be happier if we were someone together?
Would sun shine brighter if we played a bigger part?
Would we be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather?
I think we're gonna be just fine (gonna be just fine)
I think you're gonna be just fine

Don't worry, baby
You're gonna be just fine
Don't worry, honey
You're gonna be just fine
Don't worry, baby
You're gonna be just fine

    I reckon everyone feels or has felt this way, even those "together" people who seem so "perfect". Remember you are not who everyone may think you are. You CAN be who u wanna be. Let the real you out. Show the world. You can't always wait for others to change so you can change yourself. "Don't worry… you're gonna be just fine" :)

    This is definitely not the best song from The Corrs. But it's the lyrics that save it from becoming gak. I agree that everyone including myself have always wished how we can be happier. Don't we all wish we can be a popstar? Or just finding true romance? 3 Doors Down's "Be Like That" showcases this much better though; it sets the tone.

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
