Well, you done done me in, you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn
To win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Hmm (hey, hey)

Well, open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and, damn, you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love
Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Do, do, do, do you, but do you, do you, do, do, but do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer, dear?
And I will nibble your ear
A-soo-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-bum
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
Uh-huh, mmm-hmm

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well, open up your mind and see like me (I won't hesitate)
Open up your plans and, damn, you're free (no more, no more)
And look into your heart, and you'll find (it cannot wait)
That the sky is yours (I'm sure)
So please don't, please don't, please don't (no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate (our time is short)
'Cause our time is short (this is)
This, oh this, this is our fate (our fate)
I'm yours

Bra-bop-mm, da-bap-bop-mm-day
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do, mm-mm-mm-mm (hey, hey)

Oh, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, whoa, baby, do you believe I'm yours?
You best believe, you best believe I'm yours, mmm-hmm

    This song is so intentional. To me, the message is as clear as day. Stop caring so much. He's been spending too long making sure he looks perfect, to please everyone else. And there is still something wrong, so he does whatever he can to try and see whats wrong with him. And then his reflection gets blurry, and he forgets where he began. So he starts over again, and is finally able to enjoy who he truly is. So just stop working on your appearance so much and go with the flow, because the only opinion that matters in your life should be your own, and you can never truly change who you are. "Our name is our virtue".

    ok, first of all the new version is available on iTunes, and will be on his new album We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things out May 20 i think.

    my opinion of the two is that the original version, found out and about on downloading sites, is more of a love song melody, while the iTunes version is like a friends/life song.

    Meaning. First Verse- I think it is about how he met this girl and she was amazing,made him buckle at the knees kinda thing,"so hot that I melted", the "i reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some" is like it's his time to win the girl and have a good relationship, or at least learn some valuable wisdom from the experience.

    The Chorus 1-open up your mind just like open up your mind i guess, open up your life so you can just go with the flow of things

    2-I won't hesitate basically like a mini version of the john mayer song "say", just like saying what you need to say, in love context, saying what you fell or making a move or something in life context, just not hesitating to go and do something, being spontaneous, going with the flow "our time is short, this is our fate, no need to complicate" to not over analyze or speculate anything and just live it out in the present.

    Mirror verse my interpretation is that he has been spending way too long making sure everything looks perfect in the mirror and in other people's eyes, bending all these ways just to try to get the image right, his efforts fogged up the real image, and then he drew a new image and laughed, go with the flow of things "our name is our virtue" virtue literally means-conformity to a standard of right,but it also means a beneficial quality, so my thought is that he's saying either it is yet another common thing,common names, that we all just conform to, or he's saying it is a thing that's givin to us, and we learn to accept it no matter how weird or unique or common it is, like he's saying we should learn to accept ourselves as we truly are also maybe he is talking about how since he's bending all over checking himself and his breath fogged up his true self, from doing that, he lost himself in trying to make himself "normal"

    overall i think that he's just saying don't hesitate in life, no matter what it is, be true to yourself, enjoy life, and just live in the present.

    speaking of jason mraz, if you liked his t-shirts in his I'm Yours video, you can find them on blendapparel.com ,amazing company,eco-friendly,chec'em out.

    Song Meaning

    "I won’t hesitate no more no more It cannot wait. I’m sure. There’s no need to complicate. Our time is short This is our fate. I’m yours"

    Basically saying he doesn't want to wait any longer to be with the girl of his dreams and wants her to see this as he sees it. He believes it's fate and doesn't understand why is she complicating it any more than it should be.

    "Open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you’re free Look into your heart and you’ll find love love love…"

    Wants her to open up her plans meaning maybe break up with her current boyfriend so she could be with him and even find more love for the singer than anyone.

    it's a beautiful song about being head over heels over someone, and how you have to let go and just let it roll and see what happens.

    i LOVE the "tongue" verse.

    so i think this song is like, really good. i love what it means even though it sounds really confusing. i think the tongue verse means hes always trying to impress someone, and he does everything he can. but one time it doesnt work, so he decides to try something new to cover it up, and he ends up liking it better. just my interpretation.. lmao

    Well, as agreed with much said above, this song is fantastic. But, rather than an ass, I'd say that the tonge is really just a visual of what he tries to say later. "i guess what i'm a sayin'is there ain't no better reason to rid yourself of vanity" He looks in a mirror, fogs is up, and he no longer can see is own face. It becomes new. (that, or it could be that little happy face that everyone draws on fogged up glass) and he laughs at what he see's. Now, to go a little far with it, it could be that he was obsessed with seeing something about himself, His vanities, and then, when he fogged it up, he finally realised how stupid he was being for making such an effort on looks.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

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.
