I'm glad that you're near
And I'm sad that you're here.
That is what it's like to be me.
I'm glad that you're here
And I'm sad that you're near.
This is what it's like to die alone.

This all hurts so much
That I honestly believe
You're the one this is hard for.
I'm bartered tact for wit
And I've already made up
A billion stories about you.

Knee deep in static
I hear you breaking up,
I'm breaking up,
I guess we're breaking up.
You're not the other woman
You're just another (woman).
Another hobby for a guy like me.

You're given me a heart like a gun
And I'm so shocked that I've made it through these billion days.
I didn't think I could tough it out all those days a billion.

So we're growing?
I'm sure.
"There's no other I can turn to,
There's no other I can turn to
If not you, heart
Who else can I believe?"

I hope you enjoy dying alone.

    this was the first GlassJAw song I heard and I was hooked on this band after the first chorus. It totally blew me away. I could feel the raw emotion in the song

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/
