There you go again when you
Rub up against my skin
I have to catch my breath
I began to sweat, oh
Lips tracin' down my neck and
it's scarin' me to death
How'd you learn to draw me
to the cliff
Just to push me off
Just to push me off the edge

Damn, I hate the way you
know me and
Damn, you kill me when you
hold me
Like I'm your world, like this
won't hurt
Like a favorite curse hittin'
every nerve
Damn, I'm fightin' and I'm losin'
and
Damn you, you're pullin' and
I'm pushin'
I'm wrestlin' with,
I toss and twist
Till finally I give in, Damn

I hate bein' addicted only
You would have predicted that
I'd be torn and worn so thin
You can see right through
You can see right through my
soul

Damn, I hate the way you
know me and
Damn, you kill me when you
hold me
Like I'm your world, like this
won't hurt
Like a favorite curse hittin'
every nerve
Damn, I'm fightin' and I'm losin'
and
Damn you, you're pullin' and
I'm pushin'
I'm wrestlin' with,
I toss and twist
Till finally I give in, Damn

I get reckless, scared, confused
I feel desperate so for you
And you know it, you know it
You know it, yes you do

Damn, I hate the way you
know me and
Damn, you kill me when you
hold me
Like I'm your world, like this
won't hurt
Like a favorite curse hittin'
every nerve
Damn, I'm fightin' and I'm losin'
and
Damn you, you're pullin' and
I'm pushin'
I'm wrestlin' with,
I toss and twist
Till finally I give in, Damn

    I think just about everyone has that one person...the one who is so bad for you, but knows you so well and knows how to exploit your weaknesses. They push all the right buttons, you give in, and they're gone. Once again you're alone to pick up the pieces.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
