This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Gone are the games
and the faces we made to get by
Hiding the days that
we wasted away
underneath a frostbitten sky
You are the same as you were
when I left
We hoped and we pray
for a word to call this
Saying I'm leaving
was never a threat
so let's call it off and forget.
Gone are the floors buried by
what we wore every day
A place for your palm in
the coat I had on
yes I know
it's not supposed to rain
You being here
is a lot to handle
and I'm never clear
when I talk
I mumble
Things I should scream
I'll never confess
Let's call it off and forget.
Gone are the notes
that I scribbled down slow
when you'd call
hoping you'd find
all the things on my mind
and have reason to leave after all
You look the same as you did
when I said
I'll do what you want
if it is honest
no need to come home
'cause everyone left
Let's call it off and forget.
Gone are the sounds
of the quieting down
things never said aren't lies
legs full of lead
that just can't go to bed
no matter how poorly we tried
a thimble of gin for the road
to calm you
and smooth over scars
that still show
I loved you
a wreath on the window
and the bottles we kept
Let's call it off and forget.
Flint under water
won't ever catch
so let's call it off and forget.
and the faces we made to get by

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
