It's like they need two separate planets to make it stop.

The boy who was a hero became the shame.
The girl who took it all lost everything.
She sent a message, she tried to talk,
there was something that she needed to know.

But now was not the best time,
the boy was drunk at a metal show.

At least she's trying.
And maybe what he told her was all she ever needed to hear, anyhow.

And maybe someday on a cloud,
their last laugh will be heard awfully loud
'cause maybe in the end, they'll win.
But it will be a long time till they try again.

I'm trying to keep on the right side.
What am I doing?
I'm trying to keep you by my side.
I remember when you were mine.
But I was always struggling and things were never totally fine.

It's like they have some sick attraction, a magnetic pull.
They've ripped apart successfully a couple of times.
With every turn it's more and more painful.
She says she's happy now and that makes him frown,
but ultimately it makes him glad.
He wishes that they had two separate planets.
She agrees it wouldn't be that bad.

And maybe someday on a cloud,
their last laugh will be heard awfully loud
'cause maybe in the end, they'll win.
But it will be a long time till they try again.

I'm trying to keep on the right side.
What am I doing?
I'm trying to keep you by my side.
I remember when you were mine.
But I was always struggling and things were never totally fine.

I'm trying to keep on the right side.
I'm trying to keep you by my side.
I remember when you were mine.
But I was always struggling and things were never totally fine.

    My Interpretation

    I feel like this song is about two people who keep falling together no matter how hard they try to stay apart. Like, when they take a chance on what they have something goes wrong and it all falls out of place. They can't stop their attraction/feelings for one another making it close to impossible to move on. I feel like it's trying to say maybe someday they can really make it, but until they fall back into the next fall of their routine they won't be together and their chances of being successful in a relationship is 0.

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
