Tell me where you've seen my life
I look in your eyes and can only see my own complexion
Tell me where you've been my life
I've been watching you spring by summer fall when some one called


Tell me where you've seen my life
You've been biting my hands and knocking me down down to the ground
Tell me where you've been my life
I see only what you see, face who you face, be who you want to be

Clashing lies and clashing thighs
Clashing chasing changing minds
Tell me what you've seen tell me where you've gone
Tell me where you've been tell me what you saw

Clashing lies and clashing thighs
Clashing chasing changing minds
Tell me what you've seen tell me where you've gone
Tell me where you've been tell me what you saw

    The beginning of this song reminds me of Status Quo's "Pictures of Matchstick Men."

    Fortunately, it turns into something much more different and glorious

    I think he is signing to his alter-ego in this song ('I look in your eyes and can only see my own complexion'), the voice in his head that comes and goes - perhaps self-doubt or his self-destructive side. On a musical side - this song is amazing! For sure the most catchy-pop moment of my favorite 2007 album 23 (23 is even moreso my favorite then Neon Bible or In Rainbows which is saying ALOT)

    Looks like someone who completely lost himself for another person, a lover (for the "clashing lies and clashing thighs" stanza).. He completely lives through her, and is absorving in every possible way.

    "I've been watching you spring by summer fall when some one called" --> he's been absolutely obsessed about for quite a while.

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. 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.
