Got you on the wrong side of me
Went and had my mind made up so suddenly
And it's bein' hungry when you can't take the fall away

Got you on the phone guiltin' me
Thinkin' how you looked at me so eagerly
But it was some of them kids in the city playin'

Ended up at home on empty with the windows down
Tryin' to say everything but knowin' you
I'd hate to see you lookin' so down

Wish you weren't so tied to me but you are
Sooner than it happens to all that you are
Right on my way home

Still in my mind won't you give us a call?
Summer's so fine I don't need you at all
Right you so said, "Yeah"

Ended up at home on empty with the windows down
Every time I look at you
I see you just like lookin' through the windows downtown

Ended up at home on empty with the windows down
Tryin' to say everything but knowin' you
I?d hate to see you lookin' so down

Got you on the wrong side of me
Went and had my mind made up so suddenly
And it?s bein' hungry when you can't take the fall away

And it saw this willin' to kill the rest of the day
I try to look at you that way it drives me, hey, oh, ah

Ended up at home on empty with the windows down
Every time I look at you
I see you just like lookin' through the windows downtown

Ended up at home on empty with the windows down
Tryin' to say everything but knowin' you
I?d hate to see you lookin' so down

    This version is awful - here is my take:

    Got you on the wrong side of me, Went and had my mind made up so suddenly, And it's being hungry when you can't take the thought away,

    Got you on the phone guiltily, Thinking how you looked at me so eagerly, But it was some of them kids in the city,

    Ended up at home on empty with the windows down, Tryin' to say everything but knowin you, I hate to see you lookin' so down,

    Wish you weren't so tied to me but you are, Sooner / later happens to almost you all, Right on my way home,

    Still in my mind you can give us a call? Summer's so fine I don't need it at all, Right you so said, Yeah,

    Ended up at home on empty with the windows down, Every time I look at you, I see you just like lookin' through the windows downtown, Ended up at home on empty with the windows down, Tryin to say everything but knowin you, I hate to see you lookin so down,

    Got you on the wrong side of me, Went and had my mind made up so suddenly, And it's being hungry when you can't take the thought away,

    And this soul is willing to kill the rest of the day, I try to look at you that way it drives me, hey oh ah,

    Ended up at home on empty with the windows down, Every time I look at you, I see you just like lookin through the windows downtown, Ended up at home on empty with the windows down, Tryin to say everything but knowin you, I hate to see you lookin so down.

    Gahhh I love this song! When I first got this album I listened to this song like, 6 times in a row. His voice is so clean sounding and awesome.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

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.
