Engine fails on the left hand side
Fuel burns out a hole in the sky
And all the thoughts that I can't leave behind
Holding hands while the wings go down
And the black box keeps all our secrets sound
And I know there's more than one way to hit the ground
I cannot relate to the lives below
Granted with all the names I don't know
We thought this end would come too soon
My soul will sell and I think of you

Crash calls on the radio, are you ok?
Last chance with a fading life, are you ok?
I never meant for the worst of times, are you ok?
See the wrongs make the best of rhymes, are you ok tonight?

Father practices all his prayers
And the angel won't help but stare
At a man about to die, how is this fair?
Holding half of a broken heart
On a floor soon to fall apart
And I blame this on the pilot fell asleep

And if all of the faith is doubt and you won't hold out
And the ones who believe, who believe what's wrong
And if everything is the same when you're still around
Tell me, will you hold me again?
And if all of the shores collapse and the stories cannot begin
When the world gives out, I'll fly with you again
So tell me in your own words, will you fly with me again?

Heaven calls to reject all, and burn the fire left
The turns we take to depend on a box that spills
A blood-stained futures' end

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
