This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I built an aeroplane
It was just like the real ones that I saw when I was younger
But it was too small for me
To crawl inside the cockpit and fly away
At a million miles an hour (x4)
And it took me years
Underneath the house we lived in
I threw my head and my heart in the cockpit
The sounds of the engines
The voices from upstairs I only heard my crew
Preparing me for take off (x4)
Preparing me (x2)
And it's just a model
Built with plastic and with glue
But every day I go down to the airport
And I fly away from
I fly away from you (x2)
It was just like the real ones that I saw when I was younger
But it was too small for me
To crawl inside the cockpit and fly away
At a million miles an hour (x4)
And it took me years
Underneath the house we lived in
I threw my head and my heart in the cockpit
The sounds of the engines
The voices from upstairs I only heard my crew
Preparing me for take off (x4)
Preparing me (x2)
And it's just a model
Built with plastic and with glue
But every day I go down to the airport
And I fly away from
I fly away from you (x2)

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. 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 agree with the above comment that it is a look at the innocence of children, how they have such big plans, and schemes, they can escape into their own world of imagination and create such things like aeroplanes. The dream of the aeroplane obviously develops into something more as he gets older, he didnt realize his dream of flying an airplane but still likes to go to the airport and escape his life and imagine he is a pilot.
