Oh I’m sad to see you married
One so pretty, still so strong
To a boy who loves you nary
One keeping more when you and I
When we were both still young

But I’m tying up my tie, dear
And I will not say a word
‘Cause I am feeling so goddamn sweet
Your wedding cake I will eat

I don’t have a gift to bring you
No dinnerware like other guests
Just unobtrusive songs to sing you
As you walk down the aisle with your father
As per your request

But I’m tucking in my shirt, dear
And I will not say a word
‘Cause I am feeling so goddamn sweet
Your wedding cake I will eat

But as I drink up my drinks
And you look good to me
I will wait my turn to dance
With the tired, happy bride
Selfish regrets beneath first method
As I declare Jesus Christ and both of his associates

We’re recalling it together
The first roof and bed I shared
We loved without thinking
Before I was cool or half as debonair

But I’m tying up my tie, dear
And I will not say a word
‘Cause I am feeling so goddamn sweet
Your wedding cake I will eat
Your wedding cake I will eat
Your wedding cake I will eat

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.

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
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.

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.
