Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
One two, one two three
Well, we get along
Yeah we really do
And there's nothing wrong
With what I feel for you
I could go with you, you, you
If you want me to
I could hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer's gone
What a silly thing
For me to say to you
As the spring begins
To begin with you
And I know that it's hard, hard, hard
When the leaves are brown
And they're falling down
And the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
But I won't give up
And I won't give in
And I know it's tough
But I ain't a win
And I couldn't get away from you
Even if I wanted to
So I hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
What I've got to do
What I've got to see
It was only you, and it was only me
And I know that it's hard, hard, hard
And I Know that it's hard
And the leaves are brown
And they're falling down
And the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
Well, we get along
Yeah we really do
And there's nothing wrong
With what I feel for you
I could go with you, you, you
If you want me to
I could hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer's gone
What a silly thing
For me to say to you
As the spring begins
To begin with you
And I know that it's hard, hard, hard
When the leaves are brown
And they're falling down
And the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
But I won't give up
And I won't give in
And I know it's tough
But I ain't a win
And I couldn't get away from you
Even if I wanted to
So I hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
What I've got to do
What I've got to see
It was only you, and it was only me
And I know that it's hard, hard, hard
And I Know that it's hard
And the leaves are brown
And they're falling down
And the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone
And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Also, I could swear they sing "and I can't bleed anymore for you" on some occasions.
