In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I've never written a love song
That didn't end in tears
Maybe you'll rewrite my love song
If You can replace my fears
I need your patience and guidance,
And all your loving and more
When thunder rolls through my life, will you be able to weather the storm
There's so much I would give ya baby, if I'd only let myself
There's this wall of emotions I feel I must protect
What's the point of this armor, if it keeps the love away too
I'd rather bleed with cuts of love then live without any scars
Baby can I trust this or do all things end
I need to hear that you'd die for me again and again and again
So tell me when you look in my eyes can you share all the pain and the happy times
Cause I will love you for the rest of my life
This is my very first love song, it didn't end in tears
I think I rewrote my love song for the rest of my years
I will love you for the rest of my life
That didn't end in tears
Maybe you'll rewrite my love song
If You can replace my fears
I need your patience and guidance,
And all your loving and more
When thunder rolls through my life, will you be able to weather the storm
There's so much I would give ya baby, if I'd only let myself
There's this wall of emotions I feel I must protect
What's the point of this armor, if it keeps the love away too
I'd rather bleed with cuts of love then live without any scars
Baby can I trust this or do all things end
I need to hear that you'd die for me again and again and again
So tell me when you look in my eyes can you share all the pain and the happy times
Cause I will love you for the rest of my life
This is my very first love song, it didn't end in tears
I think I rewrote my love song for the rest of my years
I will love you for the rest of my life

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
