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"
Girl I've been hurt in the past, cut up
I find it hard to bring down my guard.
Hold me, closely, and softly sweetly kiss my lips, my lips
Oh baby baby baby, hold me closely, and softly sweetly kiss your lips, your lips.
It's been so long since I heard that song, It always does remind me of us.
The last time that I saw you,
I shouted and I fought you,
That awful night we parted,
Was when this nightmare started.
But now tonight I see you,
And jesus how I miss you.
Oh baby baby baby, hold me, closely, and softly sweetly kiss my lips, my lips. Oh baby baby baby, hold me, closely, I softly sweetly kiss your lips, your lips.
I find it hard to bring down my guard.
Hold me, closely, and softly sweetly kiss my lips, my lips
Oh baby baby baby, hold me closely, and softly sweetly kiss your lips, your lips.
It's been so long since I heard that song, It always does remind me of us.
The last time that I saw you,
I shouted and I fought you,
That awful night we parted,
Was when this nightmare started.
But now tonight I see you,
And jesus how I miss you.
Oh baby baby baby, hold me, closely, and softly sweetly kiss my lips, my lips. Oh baby baby baby, hold me, closely, I softly sweetly kiss your lips, your lips.

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
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/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
meaning you don't really want to believe or expect anything from any one cause you know how it goes with every bc one is just quite typical and nothing really extraordinary or different. and its just when some one lets you down you knew they would let you down and you just want to trust someone and feel passionate and trust...but you cant really but its really hard to do because the singer knows what to expect from everyone the man singing the song sounds very wounded and feels the need to kiss some one so much but he cant.....maybe he doesnt belong to him yet.........he is just yearning for her
maybe he desires her..............................."so long that i've herd that song" he wants this person to be careful with him to be gentle with him and love him. and kiss him which is quite intimate and kinda like he feels tenderness for her.....Yeah right? a guy tenderness yeah right?
well then he lost her and he really fought for her ............. it did not work though "It's been so long since I heard that song, It always does remind me of us.
bc almost the person doesn't belong to him. "jesus how i miss u"
when he sees her "maybe" he wants her to kiss him he really focuses about kissing her.... no.... he wants her to want him.
he want her to kiss him.............. i dont know maybe im wrong maybe he did something wrong cause he seems hes been yearning for a long time.
