I Want

Face to Face

Thanks to the big bang
There's relentless power
For this rock that spins
One thousand miles an hour
I have no choice
But to ride this cycle
Around a star
That makes life much more fatal
Tick tick, my knees in concrete
Tock tock, my brain shattered by sleet
Stop the world, I want to get off
They all move but I need to stop
Stop the world, I want to get off
They fly by so I cant get on top
Stop the world, I want to get off
Their clarity makes mine flop
Stop the world, I want to get off
The day I get off is the day I give up
Life ticks along
And my heart grows heavier
Gaining a chain
And a ball per lover
What if I gave them
To someone stronger
Someone who gets off
By living life faster
Tick tick, my neck in concrete
Tock tock, my brain all icy
Stop the world, I want to get off
They all move but I need to stop
Stop the world, I want to get off
They fly by so I cant get on top
Stop the world, I want to get off
Their clarity makes mine flop
Stop the world, I want to get off
The day I get off is the day I give up
Spinning and whirling
A life worth living
Turning and twirling
My life won't stand still
Spinning and whirling
Turning and twirling
Spinning and whirling
Turning and twirling
Stop the world, I want to get off
They all move but I need to stop
Stop the world, I want to get off
They fly by so I cant get on top
Stop the world, I want to get off
Their clarity makes mine flop
Stop the world, I want to get off
The day I get off is the day I give up
Stop the world, I want to get off
They all move but I need to stop
Stop the world, I want to get off
They fly by so I cant get on top
Stop the world, I want to get off
Their clarity makes mine flop
Stop the world, I want to get off
The day I get off is the day I give up

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/

Punchline
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.

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.
