The days are long and filled with pain
We'll throw our lives away again
I've never seen in my whole life
My worst friend's sugar baby wife

Now my life is gone
Won't you try to hold me tight?
'Cause you'll be me and I'll be out
What will I find inside my head?

The sun is gone
But there's still light down inside my mind
There's still a lot for us to see in this life

Today you slipped into my head
I'm waiting for you inside my bed
There ain't no sense in feeling low
I need more when you ever have to go

Some might say that I walked through that door
All my dreams are made of stupid whores
Some might say that I fell from the sky
But I have got a pillow in my eye

The days are long and filled with pain
We'll throw our lives away again
I've never seen in my whole life
My worst friend's sugar baby wife

Now my life is gone
Won't you try to hold me tight?
'Cause you'll be me and I'll be out
What will I find inside my head?

The sun is gone
But there's still light down inside my mind
There's still a lot for us to see in this life

    This is such a beautiful song. I'm suprised Maximilian Hecker isn't more well known. The song puts an image of a man writing a letter to a failed-love. He's obviously painting a picture of how he feels without her.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
