Use Your Love

Katy Perry

I know you know my boyfriend is out of town
So have a drink, let's talk it over
So many things I shouldn't be sayin' now
You know I like my boys a little bit older
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight. tonight, tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

All my girls are nowhere to be found
They all split when I'm in trouble
But I'll tell you all my secrets if you stick around
The 'undercover-lovers' under the covers
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight. tonight, tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I just wanna use your l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e
I just wanna use your l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e
I just wanna use your l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e

try to keep my head from spinning
Too much to drink, not making sense
Been a while since I've been with someone new
But I can't stop the way I'm feeling

As you leave please would you just close the door
Now that our love affair is over
You're exactly what I was looking for
We'll go find a shoulder to cry upon

I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

(You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all

I think I'm done fuck'n singing this song
I think I'm done fuck'n singing this song
I think I'm done fuck'n singing this song
Singing this song, song, song song

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
