It's nice to see you again.
I love what you've done with your hair,
how it falls on your cheeks.
Your eyes reflect one-thousand bleeding hearts.
You ask me why I'm scared.
Does it seem fair?
This ordinary voice, these ordinary features,
insist on your interest. You insist on your interest.
Are you interested?

Wait just one minute before you leave.
I won't let you walk away.
And I, and i know what you're thinking before you speak.
These sweet charms. Are not working.
Am I not the one that hurts?
Am I not the one that bleeds?
these timely conversations cover all familiar themes.
Am I not the one that hurts?
Am I not the one that bleeds?
These timely discussions don't accomplish anything.

And i'd love to believe you.
and i'm dying with concern.
but we're not getting better.
and our lives are getting worse.
is it too much to ask for a girl to see the difference?
are we wasting time?
are we wasting time?
am i wasting time?

hope you say
"wait just one minute before you leave,
i wont let you walk away"
and i, and i know what you're thinking before you speak.
these sweet charms are not working.
am i not the one that hurts?
am i not the one that bleeds?
these boring conversations cover all familiar themes.
am i not the one that hurts?
am i not the one that bleeds?
these timely discussions.
they dont accomplish anything.
am i not the one that bleeds?
these boring conversations cover all familiar themes.
am i not the one that hurts?
am i not the one that bleeds?
these timely discussions.
they dont accomplish anything.
these timely discussions
they dont accomplish anything.
these timely discussions
accomplish anything...

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
