Never found our way out again
'cause to retrace that blood trail's
More than I can bear

This is my spring
I finally fixed the car
Floored out of here
I'll find out who my friends are
The ones waiting tomorrow morning
I pushed this away so hard
This is my spring
Fixed the car today

I wish I were lighter
The weariness weighs
Too heavily on me
This is my spring
Still cold enough
For snow from planes

Tracing seams across sky overhead
Seed the soil left to fallow too long
With pamphlets proclaiming
Fall's finally dead

The steering wheel
Never mine to turn
And now it turns
On any tangent but around
That's something you still have to learn
With the muffler
And my memory removed
I'm spared the sound

Never found our way out again
'cause retracing that blood trail's
More than I can bear

Tracing seams across sky overhead
Seed the soil left to fallow too long
With pamphlets proclaiming
Fall's finally dead

Just like growing up!

So much like growing up
Falling becomes fallen, and buried alive
But buoyancy keeps it up, survive
Keeps it alive

So much like growing up
Falling becomes fallen, and buried alive
But buoyancy keeps it up, survive
Keeps it alive

So much like growing up
Falling becomes fallen, and buried alive
But buoyancy keeps it up, survive
Keeps it alive

So much like growing up
Falling becomes fallen, and buried alive
But buoyancy keeps it up, survive
Keeps it alive

So much like growing up
Falling becomes fallen, and buried alive
But buoyancy keeps it up, survive
Keeps it alive

So much like growing up
Falling becomes fallen, and buried alive
But buoyancy keeps it up, survive
Keeps it alive

So much like growing up
Falling becomes fallen, and buried alive
But buoyancy keeps it up, survive

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
