picture me away
are we alright now?
something’s gonna happen
you’re staring off now to the sky
we’re staring off now
hush heart just play dumb
you are waiting..
are you waiting for my sign?
slip away now
bite our lips now
deep in the crowd
you’re the matter of my secret heart
whisper codes under the hush sky
smiles light up the night
are you waiting?…
you are waiting for my sign
in the back row
we will be alone
as they all walk by
I’m sorry just stop
you say I apologize too much
I’m sorry just stop
I’ll only apologize when I’m wrong
are you ready?
are you ready for my sign …
slip away now
bite our lips now
deep in the crowd
you’re the matter of my secret heart
whisper codes under the hush sky
and we are the stars that light up the night

    what im thinking it means is...two ppl that are like flirting far away from eachother at a show? (slip away now, bite our lips now deep in the crowd)like 2 ppl trying to get together but their not sure if they should greet eachother or just spend the night alone (are you waiting for my sign). but one of my fav songs =]

    I think it's about secret public romance. Like fooling around in a movie theater lol

    Its about a two people who use to be in a relationship and keep meeting up unexpectedly(crowd of a show).They try to stitch things back together but it doesnt quite work out as (the girl especially)they had hope,the boy is"staring off to the sky" pondering the unknown and wanting to move on and the girl is finally accepting everything and asks"are we alright now?".

    When you're trying to play it cool, always talking yourself out of it because you think it's somehow wrong. But now you're done resisting and the only way to proceed is to pretend you don't know what's holding you back. "Hush, heart. Just play dumb."

    I love how the music transitions at that lyric from tense restraint, brief feedback, and then "Party Time!" Just beautiful.

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.
