There's a second heart that lives in everyone we know.
Screams beneath your covers makes you never feel at home.
Well I fall out in minutes.
Watch them crawl back to their hole.

I see the world chromatically,
it weaves, and whirls, and wines.
Climbing so dramatically, it inches up my spine.
I swear to God, eventually, I'll take it till I find

That glowing light.
That silver night.
Then I'll bury that heart.

So let the binding energy disjoint and fall away
Crushing concrete cries, as the ground beneath it shakes.
So plant the flowers in the cracks of schools, and corporate banks.
Just lie awake. With the soils, wait.

Like You knew from the start.
You'll have to bury that heart.
You'll have to bury that heart.
You'll have to bury that heart.
That heart, bury that..

Well lately all my thoughts are raging,
wild in my ears.
Beating like a war drum, they will not find comfort here.
Only I alone can fall asleep and disappear.

And then I'll be back home.
Where I'll bury that heart.

Like I knew from the start.
You'll have to bury that heart.

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/

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.

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.
