This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Something's very wrong here
Your heart has frozen over
And something's very strange here
You've lost all desire
The comfort we create to prove we're something
But we're starving
You're screaming in the night 'cause you want answers
From the one
And there is hope again
Don't give up, you're not thinking
Don't give up, just keep seeking
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you
Come and take my face or forever I will walk alone
And all the same mistakes
'Cause I know you, I deny you
Days go by and choices still remain forever
Right and wrong is black and white
The illusions of this world
And there is hope again
Don't give up, you're not thinking
Don't give up, just keep seeking
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you
I send myself to you
Yes always and always
I send myself to you
I send myself to you
Yes always and always
I send my love to you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you
You found today, found today, you found today, saw today
Your heart has frozen over
And something's very strange here
You've lost all desire
The comfort we create to prove we're something
But we're starving
You're screaming in the night 'cause you want answers
From the one
And there is hope again
Don't give up, you're not thinking
Don't give up, just keep seeking
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you
Come and take my face or forever I will walk alone
And all the same mistakes
'Cause I know you, I deny you
Days go by and choices still remain forever
Right and wrong is black and white
The illusions of this world
And there is hope again
Don't give up, you're not thinking
Don't give up, just keep seeking
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you
I send myself to you
Yes always and always
I send myself to you
I send myself to you
Yes always and always
I send my love to you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you
You found today, found today, you found today, saw today

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
okay cmon maybe waking ashland isnt the greatest band out there right now but there pretty damn close.... purevolume.com/wakingashland
Yeah well i heard about these guys from smartpunk.com . Pretty good stuff. There are alot of bands out there that im liking today but this is a pretty good one.. If you like Jimmy Eat World or bands like mae I think they are worth a checkout
good band, good song :D
is it i sin my self or i send myself?
but anyway awsome band. i have the whole cd
I don't really like when songs have a "religious" meaning and stuff, and some of Waking Ashland's lyrics are pretty high schoolish (Red Car, Counting the Stars) in my opinion. However, I do like this song and Abandon Ship. Are there any other songs that are above average compared to the rest of their songs?
hehe... ask any Waking Ashland fan and they'll tell you all their songs are above average :D
But yeah, I take it as a song about being in a rut, and God coming to help you out.
I saw these guys in Concert about idk a month ago!!! let me tell you!!! THEY ROCK!!!! I love all their songs...
I saw these guys on Friday and they were amazing! This song is very good and I can't get it out of my head. I love the music video!
songs are meant to be interpreted however you the listener wants to interpret them. sure the band may have written about god and religion, but you could interpret this song to be about a guy/girl if thats what it means to you.
I'd definetely say that this song is about letting God pull you out of a "bad" time when you just don't follow Him. It's a great song, I can definetely relate. I liked it a lot better when i finally figured out what it meant.
