I've read you well
I just wanna get away
Cause you used my love
I just need to get away

My trust in you has been abused
My trust in you has been overused

Sick of this place
Wish we could be far away
Cause I wasted all my youth
And I'll never see it again

My trust in you has been abused
My trust in you has been overused

I will welcome you to everything
Cause you've bled me dry now
I just wanna run away
Cause you've bled me dry now
I just wanna run away

I just wanted too much
I wish we could be far away
And if my wish comes true
You'll never see me again

    i think matt wrote this song about their home town because when they were first starting out they didnt have much support from the people there, hense 'i just want to get away', 'my trust in you has been abused' etc etc. you can see this in a lot of their other songs like muscle museum and falling down i think

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/
