When your heart breaks in LA
And the Whisky tastes like sugar cane
Not all the long drives or the tears I’ve cried
Can keep me from saying “What if you stayed?”
Driving down the 101 at night, keeps me thinking what if you stayed
When I wake up and pour coffee for one, keeps me thinking, thinking
I want it to be the way it used to be
Just you and me in the sun
When your heart breaks in LA
And the Whisky tastes like sugar cane
Not all the long drives or the tears I’ve cried
Can keep me from saying “What if you stayed?”
….your touch
….your voice
…your love
But like the woman said to me, “’used-to-be’s ain’t no more”
I want it to be the way it used to be
Just you and me in the sun
When your heart breaks in LA
And the Whisky tastes like sugar cane
Not all the long drives or the tears I’ve cried
Can keep me from saying “What if you stayed?”
I want it to be the way it used to be
I want it to be the way it used to be
I want it to be the way it used to be

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”

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/

Amazing

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
