This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You were looking away from me,
western skies calling you.
Colors spilling, running
dazzling you.
I was looking the other way
voices call from the east
I saw my roots of the trees
there planted at my feet.
It could be I'm searching
for a place so small
with room for everything
where worlds on worlds revolve.
But how can we wait?
I wouldn't hold you back.
Suppose I was the clever one
And words came easy to me
I could say I was writing a song about you
(you) and me.
Maybe that verse is yet to be found,
but waits inside of me,
a secret room a tangled web to unweave.
But how can we wait
knowing our ways,
how can we hold on,
still you know
its not too late.
western skies calling you.
Colors spilling, running
dazzling you.
I was looking the other way
voices call from the east
I saw my roots of the trees
there planted at my feet.
It could be I'm searching
for a place so small
with room for everything
where worlds on worlds revolve.
But how can we wait?
I wouldn't hold you back.
Suppose I was the clever one
And words came easy to me
I could say I was writing a song about you
(you) and me.
Maybe that verse is yet to be found,
but waits inside of me,
a secret room a tangled web to unweave.
But how can we wait
knowing our ways,
how can we hold on,
still you know
its not too late.

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

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/
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I've always felt like this song (and others on this CD) didn't get enough notice. Mary's voice is really touching on this song -- the poignant end of a relationship.
I believe it's about Natalie Merchant's decision to not continue with the group. She went west, following bigger and better things, while the remaining band with John and Mary stayed around NY state.
Go crap on Sugarcult's cd.
