Well I flew in on a plane yesterday
Nose pressed to the glass, I watched us come into the bay
And then I asked myself why I left this place
Seeking solace in a change but now it's changed my face
And I know
They'll say
There's something to be said for trying out new things
But I know
I'll say
Something I've been missing here along the way
Oh yeah

But there's just something 'bout coming home to California
Yeah there's something 'bout coming home

And it's so hot outside that I could fry an egg
But I'm eating Taco Bell and gettin' high instead
My eyes spread wide I smoke a cigarette
Watch the sun roll by with nothing in my head
And I know
They'll say
Something to be said for curiosity
And I know
I'll say
I'll save my west coast dreaming for some other day
Oh yeah

Because there's something 'bout coming home to California
Yeah there's something 'bout coming home to California
I said there's something 'bout coming home to California
Oh there's something 'bout coming home
Yeah

I said, I said
There's something in the way you move
Something in the Daily News
And there's something in the air I breathe
Something in the things I see
And there's something in these orange walls
The Northern California falls
There's something in the clothes she wears
And something in the way she stares at you

Oh and I'm so far away from home and I need it
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

Because there's something 'bout coming home to California
Yeah there's something 'bout coming home to California
Oh there's something 'bout coming home to California
There's something 'bout going home

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
