I was the luckiest girl in the world. You were so delicate, simple & pure. We’d never separate. Every night, this we swore. Our lives were meaningless if one should walk out that door. And now I can’t explain how the walls came down. Everytime I turn to you you’re nowhere around. Now all our days together turn to days spent apart. Well tell me what’s this lucky girl to do. I don’t want to be forever longing for you in some bitter melody. But I’ll go on as I stumble through this haze. I was the happiest girl in the world. You were the only one I simply adored. We’d always be together. We’d never be torn. Our lives were meaningful until you walked out that door. And now I can’t explain how the walls came down. Everytime I tur n to you you’re nowhere around. Now all our days together turn to days spent apart. Well tell me what’s this lucky girl to do. I don’t want to be forever longing for you in some bitter melody. But I’ll go on as I stumble through this haze. I turn to touch your face. But all I feel is your cold. I yearn for your embrace. But all I get is your shoulder. What have I done to you to make you feel this way. My love belonged to you. What more can I say. I don’t want to be forever longing for you in some bitter melody. But I’ll go on as I stumble through this haze.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
