Don't' look so sad
I know it's over
But life goes on
And this world
Keeps on turning
Yeah
Let's just be glad
We have this time
To spend together oh
There is no need
To watch the bridges
That we're burning hey oh

Lay your head on my pillow sweet babe
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine hey
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Roll softly
Against my window hey hey oh late at night
Make believe you love me one more time hey
For the good times hey
For the good times

I'll get along
I'm sure you'll find another but baby please remember
I'll be here, I'm gon stay right here
And you should ever find that you need me yeah
Don't say a word
About tomorrow
Ah forever and ever and ever and ever
They'll be times
Enough for severance when you leave hey hey hey
For the good times
For the good times

Lay your head
On my pillow
Oh this is one time girl
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper
Of the raindrops
Rolling softly against my window
Oh you gotta do is
Oh you gotta do is make believe you love me one more time
For the good times
For the good times

Here's what you outta do is
Lay your head on my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mines....

    This song wreaks of despair...i think it's the saddest love song ever writtin. There is absolutely no optimism or hope that it is not over...most love songs foreshadow that she/he will come back...this one doesn't so much...it's over.

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/

Magical
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
