In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
The car crashed but everybody was okay
But that don't mean we're gonna have to stay
So c'mon, I'm ready to go when you're done
Let's trash this place before we run
And if we both fall down
Another train will come around
Packed with others getting lost and found
By now we're finishing each other's thoughts
Everyone else seems to want what we've got
But I'm not afraid to say goodbye
As long as someone else has caught my eye
Everyone's a dove when they fall in love
The roses cover up the old debris
Keeping their eyes down
Until they can't ignore the sound
Of all the others getting lost and found
We all have hearts so pure
But some hearts can't endure
The iridescent light of folly's lure
We give in to the sound
Of that old train coming 'round
Packed with others getting lost and found
But that don't mean we're gonna have to stay
So c'mon, I'm ready to go when you're done
Let's trash this place before we run
And if we both fall down
Another train will come around
Packed with others getting lost and found
By now we're finishing each other's thoughts
Everyone else seems to want what we've got
But I'm not afraid to say goodbye
As long as someone else has caught my eye
Everyone's a dove when they fall in love
The roses cover up the old debris
Keeping their eyes down
Until they can't ignore the sound
Of all the others getting lost and found
We all have hearts so pure
But some hearts can't endure
The iridescent light of folly's lure
We give in to the sound
Of that old train coming 'round
Packed with others getting lost and found

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
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"
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
breaking up and finding someone new.
i believe he's primarily suggesting falling for someone while you're with or just getting over someone. the first chorus talks about hard times and struggles in a relationship. when the writer talks about the "car crash" not meaning "we're gonna have to stay" he implies that getting through hard times together doesn't necessarily mean you're meant to be. it's about not being completely given to one another. he doesn't want a love that exists simply because he's used to his partner (finishing each other's thoughts) nor outside appearance and show (everyone else...) at the point where lost and found comes out, it really makes a beautiful analogy. like a train station - constant exchange of people from one place to another. the last few lines of the song are my favorite. "the iridescent light of folly's lure" is referring to the lure of something new, something different, something like a new love affair. it's my favorite ola podrida song i think...
