You left me down, with not a chance to fall
My heart was on the line and I can't explain
To everyone that I, that I fell so in love with you
You left me waiting on the line

Waiting for you
That day was so difficult to cry myself to sleep
I knew that you would wait for me, but I was wrong
But I was wrong

Why, leaving me tonight
I pray it's only a while 'til she'll be back again
No, it's only in my head, it's everything you said
Tonight alone again, why

You came, the days grew dim for me
I knew we would be, but I thought we would see it out
For what we had was stronger than the things they knew
We knew

Why, leaving me tonight
I pray it's only a while 'til she'll be back again
No, it's only in my head, it's everything you said
Tonight alone again

Righteous, righteous
Leaving me tonight
Righteous, righteous
Don't leave me
No, don't go tonight

You'll see me walking away, I see you wanting to say
I pray that you would see me for me, don't walk away

And I will know that you are so true
To all that I am, finding you

And I want to get right, 'cause I don't walk around
And I want to see tonight, and I know your sound
It's like I've got to know, and I don't walk around
If I could only get right, this time I know I could

Why, leaving me tonight
I know it's only a while 'til she'll be back again
No, it's only in my head, it's everything you said
Tonight alone again, why

Righteous, righteous
Leaving me tonight
Righteous, righteous
Don't leave me tonight

Right, right, right
Righteous now, we pray

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
