It's two in the morning.
I'm stuck in the middle with you.

And laugh without warning
when everyone's looking
at all that we've ever been through

I pull down a blouse
of uncomfortable silence
to fill my connection with you

I know it's too late, but the time is right
As long as you're out there,
We'll be alright

I know it's too late, but the time is right
Hold on while we land, we'll be alright

If you fall, here I am

I know it's too late, but the time is right
I'd hold out my arms
if you fell to the earth
from the sky

I wander in silence
That secret you keep to yourself
You talk in your sleep
when you're walking around
like nobody but somebody else

I'm dying to kill
the unbearable silence
To fill the connection to you

And laugh without warning
when everyone's looking
at all that we've ever been through

I know it's too late, but the time is right
As long as you're out there, we'll be alright

I know it's too late, whether we be alright
Hold on while we land, we'll be alright

If you fall, here I am

I know it's too late, but the time is right
I'd hold out my arms
if you fell to the earth
from the sky

I know I can't stop love
Cause you're much too high
Even broke through the walls of the dark
to get back to the light

I know it's too late, but the time is right
I'd hold out my arms
if you fell to the earth
from the sky

I know I can't stop love
Cause you're much too high
Even broke through the walls of the dark
to get back to the light

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
