Hindered by innocence
The timid turn to prey
Swallowed in her smile
Unaware
Turning ears
Deaf to pain
Willing and weak
Are one in the same
Watch as your rapid
Seasons start to change
All of the seasons that fought you
All of the reasons that got you
Here in the first place

Love in time grows stagnant
The innocence we have lost
New grains of time will not rewind

Injuries strain from
Her perfect art of guile
Swindling her space
In despair
Shed a tear
Of mock sincerity
Condescending hearts can display
Cracks as your zone of
Comfort starts to fray
Humbling to sit back and watch
Through all of the actions that got you
Clearly no mercy

Love in time grows stagnant
The innocence we have lost
New grains of time will not rewind

Through patience I'm viewing from outside
Such a shame your pride
Left you in a state of pure denial

Love in time grows stagnant
The innocence we have lost
New grains of time will not rewind

    Don't really like this song too much, but it's obviously about the fate of your typical romantic relationship. Starts out fresh and amazing, you're in love, but eventually the passion just fades away and you get bored of her/she gets bored of you, and then you can't stand each other anymore. All the while you lose months/years of your life while you're together. Makes you wonder if you would have been better off never getting involved in the first place.

    But better to have loved and have lost, than never to have loved at all, right?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
