I could walk out, but I won't
In my mind, I am in your arms
I wish someone would take my place
Can't face heaven all heavenfaced
No one's careful all the time
If you lose me, I'm gonna die

How completely high was I?
I was off by a thousand miles
Hit the ceiling, then you fall
Things are tougher than we are
I could walk out, but I won't
In my mind, I am in your arms
I wish someone would take my place
Can't face heaven all heavenfaced

Let's go wait out in the fields with the ones we love
Let's go wait out in the fields with the ones we love
Let's go wait out in the fields with the ones we love
Let's go wait out in the fields with the ones we love

She's a griever and I believe her
It's not a fever, it's a freezer
I believe her, I'm a griever now
She's a griever and I believe her
It's not a fever, it's a freezer
I believe her, I'm a griever now

Because we'll all arrive in heaven alive
We'll all arrive
Because we'll all arrive in heaven alive
We'll all arrive

    I think this song is about a breakup but the lover thinks they are still in a relationship.."I could walk out, but I won’t In my mind" He cant stand a place where he is not with the girl on his mind. the lines "Let’s go wait out in the fields with the ones we love" is the dream land (like in strawberry land by the beatles) where we thinks he should be.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
