Even though it's hard to hear the truth
It's every little thing that makes you move
There is a reflection in the mirror you don't believe
Darling it's so hard to understand
I wish that I could fix how you feel instead
Baby, why'd you do that
I can see through that
Give it a chance

You can't just disappear
I'm begging you to come on out, come on out
I promise that the coast is clear

I don't mind the chase
Baby, you're lost out there in a different place
And I can't get to you
I don't mind the chase
Baby, you're lost out there in a different place
And I can't get to you
But I'll do what I have to

Every little piece you pick apart
You've hidden in a corner of your heart
There is a perfection in the mirror that you don't see
Darling, it's an awful lot to give
A memory you chase, but you can't relive
Well maybe you're supposed to
Baby, you're close to letting me in

And you can't just disappear
I'm begging you to come on out, come on out
I promise that the coast is clear

I don't mind the chase
Baby, you're lost out there in a different place
And I can't get to you
I don't mind the chase
Baby, you're lost out there in a different place
And I can't get to you
But I'll do what I have to

You never could quite honestly explain how much it means to you
You're doing everything they asked you to
There's a part of you that you wish you knew
Every escape you thought you could make
No, you did not think it would show
Darling, it was all too much way too slow

I don't mind the chase
Baby, you're lost out there in a different place
And I can't get to you
I don't mind the chase
Baby, you're lost out there in a different place
And I can't get to you
But I'll do what I have to

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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.

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.
