Smoked my last cigarette
Took a look at the bed
The one that we called home
Bought a ticket to somewhere, anywhere

Did you think of me blind?
'Cause I walked in circles
I know you thought of me unkind
But I tried to lead you through the minefield
Instead I led you to another

Pack my bags, walking in rain
Here them voices inside my head
Drinking that booze and taking down names
And plates and seeing the place where I dream

Call my name, shout my name
Try to consume the place where I lay
Driving on the freeway passing up cars
Crashed my car, gotta get out of here

Had to rip up my heart, had to patch up my head
At the hotel terrace
Had a drink at the bar, stumbled up and away
Every piss and a girl is a ghost of you

Did you think of me blind?
'Cause I fly around in circles
I know you think of me unwise
But I try to lead you through the minefield
Instead I lead you to another

Pack my bags, walking in rain
Here them voices inside my head
Drinking that booze and taking down names
And plates and seeing the place where I dream

Call my name, shout my name
Try to consume the place where I lay
Driving on the freeway, passing up cars
Crashed my car, gotta get out of here

When you realized me blind
You lead me round in circles
For seven years I read your lies
But still I lead you through that minefield
Find my way back through another

Pack my bags, walking in rain
Here them voices inside my head
Drinking that booze and taking down names
And plates and seeing that place where I dream

Call my name, shout my name
Try to consume the place where I lay
Driving on the freeway, passing up cars
Crashed my car, gotta get out of here

Pack my bags, walking in rain
(Did you think of me blind?)
Here them voices inside my head
Drinking that booze and taking down names
('Cause still I fly around in circles)
And plates and seeing that place where I dream

(Did you think of me blind?)
Try to consume the people I pay
Flying on the freeway light speed ship, rocket ship
('Cause still I fly around in mind fields)
Trying to get out of here

    Apparently there's some incomplete accreditation in the writing of the song...

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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/

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.

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.
