She smiles at me, then brings coffee to the table
Then pours sugar in my cup, I need her here like she's a drug
Whispers that she wants me, "Then take over my body"
From the Kitchen to the bedroom
You're just like the day i met you
Cold and Calm
That rings not on the hand i know that i left it
She's Packed her bags cause now she's had it

Don't look at me with those eyes I'm still leaving
Oh Yeah the sugar in my cup has lost it's flavor like your touch
With one call to the taxi
She walks right past me
From the stairway to the front door
One goodbye then i was no more...

I've got apologies on napkins with all the things to say
I say "Im Sorry" For a reaction but you're still walking away
And i know it's too late
She's screaming "Dont wait by the bedside, I'm not coming back this time"

Run After her
This could be just like a movie
See me standing in the Rain, How easily she looks right through me
Go inside she's crying...The last 3 years she's been lying
My life's a rainstorm of "I Love You's"
I miss you stepping in the puddles
Drive Away, Go against Fate
You screwed me over like always
Babe one day you will be sorry

I've got apologies on napkins with all the things to say
I say "Im Sorry" For a reaction but you're still walking away
And i know it's too late
She's screaming "Dont wait by the bedside, I'm not coming back this time"

I started playing in the rain
I'm who i am, I'll never change
and i hope lightning strikes me down
I'll show you and this whole town that i'm 1 in a million
I never wanted to fit in any place except your heart but we grew apart
Now rainy days are all i have and i keep dreaming in the past
You keep me awake
No more i can take
and i'm still breathing
Keep Me Breathing
You Keep Me Breathing

    I love when he sings

    "You screwed me over like always Babe one day you will be sorry"

    There is such bitterness and sadness in his voice.

    I also just thought about the

    "My life's a rainstorm of "I Love You's" I miss you stepping in the puddles Drive Away, go against fate."

    It's like he believes SO MUCHthat they should be together and her saying no pisses him off so much. And although he showers her with love now he did something she won't forgive and he doesn't understand.

    "I say "Im Sorry" For a reaction but you're still walking away" He is saying he is sorry so she will say something back so that maybe he can get something out of her except for rejection.

    Drive Away, Go against Fate You screwed me over like always Babe one day you will be sorry

    i relate to this line so much hes pretty much saying go ahead and leave but your going against what is meant to be theres so much resentment in the next line when he says "you screwed me over like always" although he has wronged her theres still that wrong doing on her part too and the "babe one day you'll be sorry" as if saying one day when she wants him back he wont accept her again because she walked out of his life.

    I love this song.

    I love this song.. one of my most favorite parts is when he is like

    "I started playing in the rain I'm who i am, I'll never change and i hope lightning strikes me down I'll show you and this whole town that i'm 1 in a million I never wanted to fit in any place except your heart "

    I love love love that part. it really hits home.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
