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.
Last night, I was pouring out my heart like a waterfall to you
And with one kiss I was a runaway train flying off the track to you
"I love you" came flooding out--couldn't make it stop, couldn't shut my mouth
I felt like a fool, then lied and said I was sorry, but
I unapologize
I meant every word
Won't take back the way I feel about you
Can't unsay what you heard
'Cause you heard me right
And I won't try to fight 'em back or hide my feelings for you
I unapologize
You know people say a lot of things that they really don't mean
And last night I told a little white lie hoping you'd forget the scene
Where feeling like a movie under bad porch light, couldn't help myself when you held me tight
Said what I meant, then I lied and said I was sorry
I unapologize
I meant every word
Won't take back the way I feel about you
Can't unsay what you heard
'Cause you heard me right
And I won't try to fight 'em back or hide my feelings for you
I unapologize
Oh, there's no time to be
Holding it all in and trying to pretend
That I don't feel anything
Oh, I shouldn't have said I'm sorry
I meant every word
Won't take back the way I feel about you
I can't unsay what you heard
'Cause you heard me right
And I won't try to fight back to hide my feelings for you
I unapologize
'Cause you heard me right
I unapologize
And with one kiss I was a runaway train flying off the track to you
"I love you" came flooding out--couldn't make it stop, couldn't shut my mouth
I felt like a fool, then lied and said I was sorry, but
I unapologize
I meant every word
Won't take back the way I feel about you
Can't unsay what you heard
'Cause you heard me right
And I won't try to fight 'em back or hide my feelings for you
I unapologize
You know people say a lot of things that they really don't mean
And last night I told a little white lie hoping you'd forget the scene
Where feeling like a movie under bad porch light, couldn't help myself when you held me tight
Said what I meant, then I lied and said I was sorry
I unapologize
I meant every word
Won't take back the way I feel about you
Can't unsay what you heard
'Cause you heard me right
And I won't try to fight 'em back or hide my feelings for you
I unapologize
Oh, there's no time to be
Holding it all in and trying to pretend
That I don't feel anything
Oh, I shouldn't have said I'm sorry
I meant every word
Won't take back the way I feel about you
I can't unsay what you heard
'Cause you heard me right
And I won't try to fight back to hide my feelings for you
I unapologize
'Cause you heard me right
I unapologize

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
yea this song explains itself really. love this one (;
