Tell me how does it feel,
Is your heartbeat racing?
Running as fast as you can
You're screamin' what you want to hear
While the bridge is blazing
And a pack of matches in your hand

Chains were never on your ankles
And locks were never on the door
So you're not breakin' free of anything
Just don't want it anymore

So when the high you're chasin'
And the lie you're craving
Are gone, and you're on your knees
When your heart is broken
Wide open
By the lie, that you once believed
Oh my love, turn and run
Back to me

There's a voice in your head
Ignore it, it's only gonna tell you lies
Oh how it breaks my heart
To see you listen
Thinkin' that that voice is mine

Your heart can be a cruel deceiver
Time can rack up like a debt
But I've got my eyes set on the horizon
Lookin' for your silhouette

So when the high you're chasin'
And the lie you're craving
Are gone, and you're on your knees
When your heart is broken
Wide open
By the lie, that you once believed

Oh, when it all comes down crashin'
In the middle of the action
And you feel something's missin'
Oh my love, turn and run
Back to me

Oh oh oh, oh oh
You can't run
Oh oh oh, oh oh
You can't run

So when the high you're chasin'
And the lie you're craving
Are gone, and you're on your knees
When your heart is broken
Wide open
By the lie, that your love had been

Oh, when it all comes down crashin'
In the middle of the action
And you feel something's missin'
Oh my love, just turn and run
Back to me

    Firstly, there's a bunch of wrong lyrics here. This is SUCH a great song though. Its about how people don't put as much effort into relationships anymore (the Justice of the Peace, losing it's power/ honeymoon suites* to hotels by the hour)

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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/
