Next time my heart breaks in cold rage
I'll be on your page
Waves of misunderstanding crashing
Demanding passage through

Dont tell me I've changed
Dont tell me I've changed

You've got your rights
Dont mean its right, ethical or sane
I'm not your type your beholding me
Dont remind, regret

Still "Desperate is as desperate does"
Self served purpose, grasping straws
Ugly hate and ill breed heart
Misunderstanding from the start

    boy... everyone here is talking bout their favourite mxpx songs, how is it that noone has picked up on this one? This is without a doubvt the best mxpx song (at least thats what I think this week). Lets face it, all the mxpx emo stuff is good, but it gets a little repetative. Or maybe Im just getting old and a little jaded... well, better stop before aI drift off into a ramble. God Bless everyone, perhaps you should think on this for a little:

    Phi 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

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.
