Show me something good
That’s still worth fighting for
I’m not quite sure how
You survive the storms
Inside of your soul
And ever since the start of this
I turn to you when I need something more
Than this empty road
That I follow

So can I just hold onto you tonight?
So can I just hold onto you and make this right?
I’ll take apart what is left and leave it
I’ve come to see that I’ll never make it on my own

I can’t imagine all the things
That haunt your head when you lay in bed
And you try to find a reason to stay here
Ever since the start of this
I never knew the right thing to say to you
The right way to help you through

So can I just hold onto you tonight?
So can I just hold onto you and make this right?
I’ll take apart what is left and leave it
I’ve come to see that I’ll never make it on my own

Hey, I know it’s hard for you to believe
But if you leave I’ll lose everything I really need
Everything that helps me breath
Hey, I know you’re barely hanging on
But even with your weathered heart
I know you’ll walk into this storm ahead of me

But can I just hold onto you tonight?
Can I just hold onto you and make this right?
Can I just hold onto you tonight?
Can I just hold onto you and make this right?
I’ll take apart what is left and leave it
I’ve come to see that I’ll never make it on my own
On my own

    i think its th first one 'xiripx' his one.

    Hey, I know it’s hard for you to believe But if you leave I’ll lose everything I really need Everything that helps me breath Hey, I know you’re barely hanging on But even with your weathered heart I know you’ll walk into this storm ahead of me

    by those lines it seems like the guy isnt showingthe girl he loves her enough, and hes saying that although it may not seem it. She means the world to him and he needs her.

    'And you try to find a reason to stay here Ever since the start of this I never knew the right thing to say to you The right way to help you through'

    it also seems that he feels like he doesnt treat her well enough tat she should even stay around. but he's greatful that she does.

    amazing song i love it

Dreamwalker
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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Amazing
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.
