This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Well my dog wears a path on the same line
And lately I'm thinking I might take his advice
Yeah yeah
Cause he sees through the fence and he thinks I'm free
Well, my brain and his chain look the same to me
All alone with a cage and a headrest
There's a thing I could get off of my chest
Cause I
Want to wear the path that's true
And I
Want to wear the path with you
Out on the cold off the leash four years or more
I don't even know what it was I was waiting for
Well maybe I barked up the wrong tree
That was then, now I'm back
Won't you see me?
Cause I
Want to wear the path that's true
And I
Want to wear the path with you
Oh it's true
I used to be afraid of growing old
And hanging around the same old place
But I got older anyway
So won't you
So won't you
So won't you brush my fears away
My dog wears a path and that's a good sign
Cause my dog wears a path on the same line
(same line)
All alone in this cage with a headrest
There's a thing I should get off my off chest
(I could get off of my chest)
Buy a house, go to work in the same car
Feed the dog, put our teeth in the same jar
Want to tell you that I
Want to wear the path that's true
And I
Want to wear the path with you
And I
Want to wear the path that's true
And lately I'm thinking I might take his advice
Yeah yeah
Cause he sees through the fence and he thinks I'm free
Well, my brain and his chain look the same to me
All alone with a cage and a headrest
There's a thing I could get off of my chest
Cause I
Want to wear the path that's true
And I
Want to wear the path with you
Out on the cold off the leash four years or more
I don't even know what it was I was waiting for
Well maybe I barked up the wrong tree
That was then, now I'm back
Won't you see me?
Cause I
Want to wear the path that's true
And I
Want to wear the path with you
Oh it's true
I used to be afraid of growing old
And hanging around the same old place
But I got older anyway
So won't you
So won't you
So won't you brush my fears away
My dog wears a path and that's a good sign
Cause my dog wears a path on the same line
(same line)
All alone in this cage with a headrest
There's a thing I should get off my off chest
(I could get off of my chest)
Buy a house, go to work in the same car
Feed the dog, put our teeth in the same jar
Want to tell you that I
Want to wear the path that's true
And I
Want to wear the path with you
And I
Want to wear the path that's true

Just A Little Lovin'

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
I never thought of it that way, viola, cool. but my idea was that the dog was chained to live on only the path that the owner (the narrator) wanted to. so at first, mr. narrator says that the dog is unfortunate, and his chaining echoes the narrator's own life being held on a leash by society.
so then he throws off his chains and frees himself. but then he finds out he doesn't like the cold freedom away from society, so he gladly comes back, finding it much easier to live like a dog instead of thinking for himself and abandoning the standards he used to itch to throw off.
the moral: it's much easier to take the path that's given to you. just like a dog.
