Long Drive Home

Adem

I came 'cause you asked me to, so you
Didn't have to drive all alone
Now I did the favour here, not you
Remember, I did the favour here

I've been smiling my best smile
I've been laughing with your friends
Doing everything you asked on the way
And I don't know what I've done but we

Haven't talked for hours and I'm
Waiting for the long drive home

Do you believe in me enough to say so?

She came from another life of mine
Oh she came from another life
A face to the name that dampened days
She's a face and a body and smile

But we hardly said a word
I begin to wish we had as the
Headlamps of the cars stream by
And the radio has broke and I'm

Lost for things to say as we're
Speeding on the long drive home

Looking at you with your eyes firmly fixed on the road
And your mind on an hour ago
And you are looking at me like you think that I started a war
While white lights
So like tracers shoot by

Do you believe in me enough to say so?

    Seems fairly straight forward. His partner asked him to accompany her to a function. Whilst there he bumps into an old flame. Current partner gets pissy and he is asking her to believe in him.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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 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.
