This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell
And now you're in my way
I'd trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way
Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
It's hard to look right at you, baby
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here's my number, so call me maybe
You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still you're in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
At first sight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it
But it's in my way
Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
It's hard to look right at you, baby
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right at you, baby
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me maybe
Don't ask me I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell
And now you're in my way
I'd trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way
Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
It's hard to look right at you, baby
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here's my number, so call me maybe
You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still you're in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
At first sight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it
But it's in my way
Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
It's hard to look right at you, baby
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right at you, baby
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me maybe

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I think she wants him to call him. Not too sure though!
This song is fairly deep. Hope this helps people trying to understand what the song is about!
HAHAHA :) +20
She just met the boy and she doesnt really know him, but she doesnt care. She doesnt care about all the other boys thats chasing her, she's just saying "So call me maybe?" She's just taking a chance,being bold, and its like love at first sight, she knows he's who she wants. This song is really catchy!
I liked the video at first.... not the ending though.

It's in the "mmmbop" department...but it's better. :)
"Before you came into my life<br /> I missed you so bad",is my favorite line. :)<br />
Amazing song! soooo catchy <3 love the video.
The guy was gay at the end!! I support gay marriage, but you have to admit that was just strange. And try listening to the lyrics. They make no sense!!
what does that part mean when she says"I threw a wish in the well Don't ask me, I'll never tell I looked to you as it fell And now your in my way I trade my soul for a wish Pennies and dimes for a kiss I wasn't looking for this But now your in my way"?????????????
That's just it--even a 30-year-old lady I know doesn't get it. This song makes no sense. The lyrics say nothing, the music is obnoxious, and altogether this song sucks. That's why I listen to rock.
she is saying she threw a wish (penny ) in the well,she wont say what her wish is or it wont come true, shes saying she looked at him as she made the wish and now hes in her way (as in after the wish it came true and now hes in her path were he wasnt before till she wished for it )<br /> she is saying she only wanted to to chase him a bit but now hes permenatly there on her mind (in her way)
It means, that she is a Puella Magi and traded her soul to Kyuubey for a wish. If you watch the anime, you'll see, that's exactly what happens.
i really think carly is trying to connect to her audience by using the boy as a synechdoche to all the problems in the world, and asking him to call her will satisfy her puny life on earth
Edit to fix a typo
I'm surprised that no one has figured this one out yet! It took me a while, but close study of the lyrics of this song has made it very clear to me what the hidden meaning of this song is. I think it really helps to see the music video, as well, since at the the end you find out that the guy she's going after is gay.
At first it seems like a stupid song about giving your number to a stranger hoping everything will turn out okay. But there's one part of the song that doesn't quite fit that interpretation:
"Before you came into my life I missed you so bad."
Huh? How can you miss someone before you've met them? This used to irritate me a lot, with my logical mind. But after I thought about it some more, I realized what she's really saying: she's a time traveler!
It fits perfectly. See, she had a relationship with this guy, but then she found a time machine, and traveled back in time. The machine must've been one that simply rewinds time (either that or she killed her past self, though nothing in the song would suggest this). Time, in this story, works by revision, and somehow she did something in the past that changed the way things were supposed to happen. Now, she's finally arrived at the time she's supposed to fall in love with him, but something's not right. She's very nervous, because she doesn't want to miss her chance for the relationship to happen, but it has to happen in a completely different way now, since she changed the circumstances.
"I threw a wish in the well Don't ask me I'll never tell I looked at you as it fell And now you're in my way"
Here, she's wishing for everything to work out, but she obviously can't tell him she's a time traveler, or he'll think she's crazy! He's "in her way" either because she has some other pressing time travel-related mission to complete, or because his aloofness is making it hard for her to get with him.
"I'd trade my soul for a wish Pennies and dimes for a kiss I wasn't looking for this But now you're in my way."
This stanza reinforces the idea that she had another mission to accomplish when she suddenly ran into him, and the "in my way" could mean that she really needs to accomplish this mission, but at the same time she doesn't want to miss her chance at starting the relationship. Things aren't happening the way she remembers them.
"Your stare was holding Ripped jeans, skin was showin' Hot night, wind was blowin' Where you think you're going baby?"
Here she is overtaken by her love for him, and decides to go for it.
"It's hard to look right at you baby But here's my number, so call me maybe Hey I just met you and this is crazy But here's my number, so call me maybe And all the other boys try to chase me But here's my number, so call me maybe."
Here her desperation hits its peak, and she tries to push him into the relationship as quickly as she can. She acknowledges that this approach is unorthodox, and might even creep him out, but she doesn't know what else to do, given the circumstances.
"You took your time with the call I took no time with the fall You gave me nothing at all But still you're in my way I beg and borrow and steal At first sight and it's real I didn't know I would feel it But it's in my way."
He isn't as enthusiastic about it as she'd hoped, and she's scared that she failed. He isn't calling, and she is "falling" into depression over the fact that she probably lost him for good. She had no idea this would happen, and it's "in my way," distracting her from her mission.
And then, of course:
"Before you came into my life I missed you so bad And you should know that I missed you so so bad."
She slips up her, blowing her cover. Before he came into her life, in this new timeline, she missed him. She really wants him to know that, but of course that wouldn't make sense to him.
Finally, the end of the music video shows that he's gay. But she was in a relationship with him last time! Three possibilities here: one, she went back in time and changed something such that, in this new timeline, he's gay; two, he was already gay before, but now that they're not together, he is more willing to freely express himself; or three, he's actually bisexual.
So, recap: She goes back in time, changes something, breaks the time machine, and lives her life up until they are supposed to get together. She has some sort of mission to take care of, but at the same time she finds the love of her life again and desperately tries to hook up with him, even though doing so will take time away from her mission. But she fails, and he hooks up with the guitarist in her band instead.
This song is more than a silly pop song. It's a time travel drama, cryptic in its delivery because the narrator must be cryptic in order to keep her once lover from thinking she's delusional. It's a very touching story, and the ending, while at first glance comical, appears poignant in the light of this new interpretation.
You are brilliant. Just brilliant. WHERE DO YOU LIVE???? lol. jk.<br /> But seriously, that makes SO MUCH SENSE!<br />
I love how in the music video she tries so hard for him to notice her and when he finally does he's more interested in her guitarist than her. Other than that, cute song, I love it! <3
I threw a wish in the well Don't ask me, I'll never tell I looked to you as it fell And now you're**** in my way
I love this songggggggggggggg....
