This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
All that I see
Show me your ways
Teach me to meet my desires
With some grace
All that I fear
Don't turn away
And leave me to plead in this hole of a place
'Cause what if I never break?
Estuary, won't you take me
Far away, far away?
All that I seek
Please police me
I want you to police me
But keep it clean
Now that you meet my day
Now let's take them away
(That's why I hold you)
Strong as you seem
Old as you behave
(That's why I hold you)
You will always obey
(That's why I hold you)
All that I feel
Capital ways
Teach me to grieve and conspire
With my age
All that I can see
A domestic spree
A seething routine
I could never navigate
Maybe I like to stray
No harm it seems to be less so free
Not today
It's like you want it that way
All that I see
Is peaceful eyes drawn away from me
Drawn away from me
We'd like to take the sights
(That's why I hold you)
And bring silence in disguise
(That's why I hold you, dear)
We would like to meet the buyer
(That's why I hold you)
That is on your life
That's why I hold you
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That's why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That's why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
Show me your ways
Teach me to meet my desires
With some grace
All that I fear
Don't turn away
And leave me to plead in this hole of a place
'Cause what if I never break?
Estuary, won't you take me
Far away, far away?
All that I seek
Please police me
I want you to police me
But keep it clean
Now that you meet my day
Now let's take them away
(That's why I hold you)
Strong as you seem
Old as you behave
(That's why I hold you)
You will always obey
(That's why I hold you)
All that I feel
Capital ways
Teach me to grieve and conspire
With my age
All that I can see
A domestic spree
A seething routine
I could never navigate
Maybe I like to stray
No harm it seems to be less so free
Not today
It's like you want it that way
All that I see
Is peaceful eyes drawn away from me
Drawn away from me
We'd like to take the sights
(That's why I hold you)
And bring silence in disguise
(That's why I hold you, dear)
We would like to meet the buyer
(That's why I hold you)
That is on your life
That's why I hold you
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That's why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That's why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you
That is why I hold you, dear
That's why I hold you

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
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/
Head > Heels
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.
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.
Here's something interesting.
The longer you go without something (be it food, water, shelter, company, whatever) the more you're going to appreciate that thing while you have it. To me, it's sounding like the song is from the narrator to his love interest. He's been without love for a long time, and through all the shit he's endured, he still loves her genuinely (hence: "That's why I hold you, that's why I hold you dear"). Even though life might be bad, he still has her.
