With fear comes laughter
and I'll hold it in yet another
slow change I unwillingly begin
we breathe the same ocean
of words what will be the lessons
tossed upon the waves I've
earned.
Cause i don't know what's left
falling out of my plans fade
away the memories are going
stronger stance and I don't
know what's left falling out
of high plains roll on with the
passing thunder crashing still.

Tears fall faster when I'm
low within yet another slow
anticipation wears me thin
if we sustain the stones unturned
what will be the path that's
left for us when we return.

Cause i don't know what's left
falling out of my plans fade
away the memories are going
stronger stance and I don't
know what's left falling out
of high plains roll on with the
passing thunder crashing still.

so if i could hum like the wind
if i could hum like the wind
wish i could hum like the wind
if i hum like the wind will I
change .
And if i rush like a wave
if i could rush like a wave
wish i could rush like a wave
if i rush like a wave could i change
easy change

but im buried without a trace im
like a stone everyday
slow the cold face of change
im buried wihtout a trace
blah blah

    I am so damn nice huh for typing this out great song brandon boyd sings with him that is how i found out liking incubus and all. Besides that this song has so much menaing it seems like it s about its almost like accepting change, letting it take its course, its like changing change itself, wanting to take the true face of change kinda inspiring. Then it seems he can't like life is too short and this jouney of all is too difficult. The funny thing about this is that i am the onle person willing to type this song out for goodness sake :)

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
