Hung up here on a web of comfort
Taking off with nowhere to go
Standing tall with your new cloak armor
Making out like it's all been done
It's harder than it seems
You slip but never fall

They'll take you, when you won’t come back to me
They’ll take you, when you won’t come back to me

Tearing down what we built up so well
Layin’ low as you came my way
Look alive with your head on backwards
Goin’ off when there's nothin wrong
It's only in your dreams
But it felt like it was real

They'll take you, when you won't come back to me
They'll take you, when you won't come back to me

Hang loose, my friend don’t walk away from me,
Because I really think you're cool
Is it worth turning back despite these open hands?
You're tearing me apart

They'll take you, when you won't come back to me (you need to find yourself)
They'll take you, when you won't come back to me (you need to find yourself)
They'll take you, when you won't come back to me (you need to find yourself)
They'll take you, when you won't come back to me (you need to find yourself)

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
