God, it's been along time since I've seen my girlfriend. I don't own her, but I'd surely love to see her.

I can't own my girlfriend but I can do my best to set her free. Maybe she can do the same for me


And Maybe seperation is gonna make it stronger
And all the seperation is gonna make it more for sure
Maybe seperation is gonna prove that we were wrong
Maybe seperation is gonna make it, make it, a little bit stronger
yeah, stronger, stronger

I recall the first trip that we took together out to Austin, Texas - we were only friends.

We decided to try our luck, slept in the back of a pickup truck on the Rio Grande - a place to call big ben (?)

Couldn't get to sleep that night underneath the cold starlight, the river was just 20 yards away

Couldn't help but wonder if she wanted me to steal a kiss, but I didn't steal, I waited for the right day

And Maybe seperation is gonna make it stronger
And all the seperation is gonna make it more for sure
Maybe seperation is just gonna prove that we were wrong
Maybe seperation is gonna make it, make it, a little bit stronger
yeah, stronger, stronger

Now I've got decisions about what to do, where to go - back to school, back out on the road

Does the future hold a place for her and me and time to waste, or does the time to pass come to take it's toll (?)

And Maybe seperation is gonna make it stronger
And all the seperation is gonna make it more for sure
Maybe seperation is gonna prove that we were wrong
And all the seperation is gonna make it, make it, a little bit stronger
yeah, stronger, stronger, common stronger, yeah. ...ect.

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/

Plastic Bag
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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
