I've seen that chapter in your eyes
It will tear us apart
Something I don't understand

Has taken hold of you
And made you less than a man
Now here is open space
That was filled with you

That was filled with you
Solitude is the only answer
To disconnect will be my shelter
Time is running out on you

Time won't be abused
Abused abused abused
If only it were true
I'd be in love with you

If only you cared
I would throw my arms out
I would throw my arms out
You called me a nutter on the phone

You have watched me die with the secrets you have told
It's the end of us
It's the end of us
Pride is getting in your way

It's only time that can truly say
Can say can say can say
If only you knew
When you're beaten black and blue

When you come to care
I will throw my arms out
I will throw my arms out

    A fantastic song. The ep version is good but I love the rawness on the Peel Radio Sessions disc. The rhythm is a bit different too.

    Yeah, he's ass who has abused her trust and let her down but she is waiting and hoping she can still forgive him. It's kinda her saying the ball is in your court and time is running out.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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/

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.

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.
