Sitting here, silently
As you tear me down
With your words all night

What went wrong
You're not you
And it's scaring me
Am I hearing you right

Like a house of
Cards in the wind
One big gust and
We could cave in
I don't want us
Haunted by what might have been

So I'm holding on
Holding on, holding on
I just don't want to let go
I'm holding on, holding on, holding on
Cause deep down I already know
We're close
And there's no turning back once
We're down that road
I'm holding on, holding on
I'm holding on to you

Three a.m., half asleep
On a beat up couch
Praying that we'll pull through
If I could I'd go back
And fix my mistakes
All the things I can't undo

Like a house of
Cards in the wind
One big gust and
We could cave in
I don't want us
Haunted by what might have been

Stop placing the blame because
Neither of us are perfect
It's not complicated
So don't analyze it to death

So I'm holding on
Holding on, holding on
I just don't want to let go
I'm holding on, holding on, holding on
Cause deep down I already know
We're close
And there's no turning back once
We're down that road
I'm holding on, holding on
I'm holding on to you

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/

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.
