This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I see so much beauty
Hidden way beneath your skin
That sure ain't no sin
You say you ain't pretty
Not in any place it counts
But I am blind to all that you doubt
It ain't perfection for which I would die
It ain't just somebody just made me feel alive
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
See, heaven sent me an angel looking just like you do
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
Sometimes, baby, you make me feel alive
You know why he wants you
But I ain't the same as him
Look a little further within
Your life has had some long nights
All those tears I wipe away
Just close your eyes and hear what I say
It ain't perfection for which I would die
It ain't just somebody just made me feel alive
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
See, heaven sent me an angel looking just like you do
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
Sometimes, baby, you make me feel alive
I never thought I'd find the one - it's like a dream
Gotta get closer to you, if you know what I mean, baby
Don't be scared - I'll never hurt you, never lie
Truth is I need you, cause you make me feel alive
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
See, heaven sent me an angel looking just like you do
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
Sometimes, baby, you make me feel alive
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
See, heaven sent me an angel looking just like you do
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
Sometimes, baby, you make me feel alive
Hidden way beneath your skin
That sure ain't no sin
You say you ain't pretty
Not in any place it counts
But I am blind to all that you doubt
It ain't perfection for which I would die
It ain't just somebody just made me feel alive
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
See, heaven sent me an angel looking just like you do
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
Sometimes, baby, you make me feel alive
You know why he wants you
But I ain't the same as him
Look a little further within
Your life has had some long nights
All those tears I wipe away
Just close your eyes and hear what I say
It ain't perfection for which I would die
It ain't just somebody just made me feel alive
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
See, heaven sent me an angel looking just like you do
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
Sometimes, baby, you make me feel alive
I never thought I'd find the one - it's like a dream
Gotta get closer to you, if you know what I mean, baby
Don't be scared - I'll never hurt you, never lie
Truth is I need you, cause you make me feel alive
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
See, heaven sent me an angel looking just like you do
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
Sometimes, baby, you make me feel alive
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
See, heaven sent me an angel looking just like you do
Can't stop dreaming about this good love
Sometimes, baby, you make me feel alive

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
