I will rock you like a baby
Love will cradle in my arms
I'll keep you safe from danger
Shelter you from harm

There will never be another
That treats you like I do
We can drift into forever
On a love that's made for two

Don't you ever say this love's not special
Don't you ever think it's not essential
Baby

I was only thinking of you
Hoping you were thinking of me
Two hearts beating just like one
Against the world
I am always dreaming of you
Hoping you are dreaming of me
I could never live one day without your love

I will kiss you like an angel, baby
Cradled in my wings
I will take you up to heaven
Show you precious things

If you promise that you love me
If you promise that you care
I will be here for always and forever
This I swear

Don't you ever say this love's not special
Don't you ever think it's not essential
Baby

I was only thinking of you
Hoping you were thinking of me
Two hearts beating just like one
Against the world
I am always dreaming of you
Hoping you were dreaming of me
I could never live one day without your love

Now you say you want to love
But, you don't think you believe it
Just open up your heart
And you know you will receive it
Oh baby

Don't you ever say this love's not special, no
Don't you ever think it's not essential

I was only thinking of you
Hoping you were thinking of me
Two hearts beating like one
Against the world
I am always dreaming of you
Hoping you were dreaming of me
I could never live one day without your love

I was only, I was only
I was only, I was only
I was only, I was only

I was only thinking, oh baby

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/
