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.
Some things you feel
Before somethings revealed
Sometimes you know
Before sometimes it shows
You were with her said you weren't and you're
Not not not
Gonna lie about the feelings that you
Got got got
You can tell me that you love me but you're
Not not not
Goin' get away with lying 'cause you're
Hot hot hot
I believed you when you talked about
Love love love
That I'm the only on that you were thinkin' of
But I'm really not the type to rise above
A little indiscretion with a scrub
Busted , its you I trusted
I guess I must have been a fool
Some things you feel
Before somethings revealed
Sometimes you know
Before sometimes it shows
Its not gonna happen you can
Try try try
I'd never take you back id rather
Die die die
I know you really did it 'cause you
Lie lie lie
And now were not N'sync so its
Bye bye bye
So you tell me that you want me and I'm hot
(uh huh)
And I'm the only good thing that you got
(uh uh)
Too bad you were cheating and got caught
You really don't deserve another shot
Busted , its you I trusted
I guess I must have been a fool
You were with her said you weren't
Had you're fun fun fun
Now I guess you're gonna pay for all the things you've done
Don't even try to tell me she's the only one
If you see me coming near
You better run run run
So now I know the truth I wonder
Why why why
But I'm really not the type to sit around and
Cry cry cry
Now you turned you're back on the one you trusted
Too bad baby 'cause you're busted
Before somethings revealed
Sometimes you know
Before sometimes it shows
You were with her said you weren't and you're
Not not not
Gonna lie about the feelings that you
Got got got
You can tell me that you love me but you're
Not not not
Goin' get away with lying 'cause you're
Hot hot hot
I believed you when you talked about
Love love love
That I'm the only on that you were thinkin' of
But I'm really not the type to rise above
A little indiscretion with a scrub
Busted , its you I trusted
I guess I must have been a fool
Some things you feel
Before somethings revealed
Sometimes you know
Before sometimes it shows
Its not gonna happen you can
Try try try
I'd never take you back id rather
Die die die
I know you really did it 'cause you
Lie lie lie
And now were not N'sync so its
Bye bye bye
So you tell me that you want me and I'm hot
(uh huh)
And I'm the only good thing that you got
(uh uh)
Too bad you were cheating and got caught

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
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"
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/
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
