Hey, oh
Hey yeah
Hey baby, hey baby

The phone is ringing
And I'm running late
I've no time to get it
'Cause I'm expecting you at eight

Heard your voice on the message
I'm surprised you called
Said you're all tied up
And you ain't comin' at all

If you're not gonna love me right
Baby don't love me at all
You're just gonna make me crazy
If you're not gonna love me right
Baby don't love me at all
If you're not gonna love me right, oh

(baby don't love, baby don't love me)
At all
(baby don't love, baby don't love me)
At all

Another box of roses outside on my porch
Twelve long excuses none of them stop the hurt
Where's this going, do you really care?
Is this real love, I don't know anymore I swear

If you're not gonna love me right
Baby don't love me at all
Baby don't make me crazy
If you're not gonna love me right
Baby don't love me at all
If you're not gonna love me right, yeah

(baby don't love, baby don't love me)
Oh baby
(baby don't love, baby don't love me)
I really want you, oh baby

(baby don't love, baby don't love me)
If you're not gonna love me right
(baby don't love, baby don't love me)
Baby just make me crazy

Baby, I want you here
If you're not here it makes me feel like
I can't trust you
You make me crazy if you really love me
You see

Oh, I get confused when you hold me next to you
I want to go further, oh baby yes I do
I just can't hold on to something that won't last
So we'd better slow down, and maybe not go so fast
Maybe not go so fast

If you're not gonna love me right
Baby don't love me at all
You're just gonna make me crazy
(If you're not gonna love me right)
If you're not gonna love me
Baby don't love me, baby don't love me, baby don't love me
If you're not gonna love me right

If you're not gonna love me right
Baby, don't love me at all
You're just gonna make me crazy
If you're not gonna love me right
Baby, don't love me at all
You're just gonna make me crazy

(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
Baby don't love, baby don't love me
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
Baby don't love, baby don't love me

(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
Baby don't love, baby don't love me
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
If you're not gonna do it right

(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
If you're not gonna do it right
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
If you're not gonna do it right

(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
Baby don't love, baby don't love me
(Baby don't love, baby don't love me)
Baby don't love, baby don't love, baby don't love me

Dreamwalker
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.

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.

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.
Album art
Amazing
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.
