As I sail with you across the finest oceans
On our way to find the key to our emotions
Together we will move the clouds to brighter days
Some people question what i say, try to break up you & me
But I know this love between us is growing stronger
You can call me whenever from wherever just remember that
I'll be there through all the stormy weather
Us break up never, no, we'll be together forever

You don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry
But I believe so strongly in you & I
Can't somebody answer me the question why
You don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry

As I close my eyes sit back while reminiscing
Of when we used to fuss & fight but end up kissing
There may be sad & painful times along the way
But in my heart you'll always be, everything and more to me

For I know this love between us is growing stronger
You can call me whenever from wherever just remember that
I'll be there through all the stormy weather
Us break up never, no, we'll be together forever

[Chorus]

For you are always on my mind, you are always on my mind
Girl you know that you
You are always on my mind you're always on my mind
You are always forever

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

If you ever get the feeling
You want to play around start cheating
Remember you don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry

    My Interpretation

    To me, it's about a guy who is in love with a girl who feels as though she no longer requires him in her life, and he feels as though, he will be there waiting for her, because he knows in his heart she can't live without him hence don't miss your water (because u cant live without water). It sounds like she is tested from what her friends, her family tell her about this guy, how there not meant to be together and if she strays, she doesn't know what she's lost until it's gone, but he will be there through the good and the bad times no matter what.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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/

Amazing
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.
