Don't mess this up.

I told you 10 times.
It's like any other day.
Gotta act like nothing happened.
Watch what you say.
Put the car in drive.
Move it out real slow.
We'll take off like bullets.
And no one has to know.

You, you're gonna listen to me now.
Yeah you, you're gonna listen to me, you're gonna listen to me now.
You, you're gonna watch yourself this time.
You, you're gonna listen to me, you're gonna listen to me now.

I put my trust in you.
The way you trust in me.
Can you keep your head together?
Well let's just see.
No more tricks and no more lies.
Forget your dirty little secret.
Take my advice.

You, you're gonna listen to me, you're gonna listen to me now.
You, you're gonna listen to me, you're gonna listen to me now.
You, you better watch yourself this time.
You, you're gonna listen to me, you're gonna listen to me.

Oh the sun goes sleepy.
And the tears between us.
They make our hearts all dirty.
They never clean us.
Now don't get scared.
You've come this far.
You know what to say.
It's not so hard.

So you're waiting by the phone.
Think it's gonna turn around if you depend on them?
They're gonna let you down.
Tomorrow doesn't know.
What the past is all about.
Now can I keep a secret?
Well let's find out.

You, you're gonna listen to me now.
Yeah, you, you're gonna listen to me, you're gonna listen to me now.
You, you better watch yourself this time.
You, you're gonna listen to me, you're gonna listen to me now.
Listen to me!

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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/
