Another late night driving around
We're losing sunlight so we head downtown
To Woodward off Charlotte Street
The old place that we used to meet

We were young and we lived it up
But those nights never lasted long enough
Looking back we're so naive
What happened to the days when we shared our dreams?

If I could go back now
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh, it feels so good
To say

Guess we made it this far
Guess we're doing alright
Looks like we made it out alive
Yeah, we made our mistakes
But we followed our hearts
Even though we drift apart
Always, forever
Weathered yellow still frames in my head
Always, forever

The sun rise would beat us to sleep
We didn't wanna go home so slept on the beach
Oh, the summer never felt so sweet
I still feel the sand in underneath my feet

Memories of the nights that faded
I don't know how the hell we made it
Looking back we had everything
Those were the days when we shared our dreams

If I could go back now
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh it feels so good
To say

Guess we made it this far
Guess we're doing alright
Looks like we made it out alive
Yeah, we made our mistakes
But we followed our hearts
Even though we drift apart
For always, forever
The secondhand kiss of a summer night
For always, forever

Even though some time has passed
And we've gone our separate ways
No matter how far apart we'll always have our memories

If I could go back now
I wouldn't change a thing
Oh, it feels so good
To say

Oh, it feels so good

Guess we made it this far
Guess we're doing alright
Looks like we made it out alive
Yeah, we made our mistakes
But we followed our hearts
Even though we drift apart
For always, forever
Endless copper street lamps on my mind
For always, forever
At Woodward, Charlotte Street

    BLG? Don't be ridiculous, dear, Ev Ave's one of a kind. ;)

    Very catchy with a clear meaning. Sweetest song of regret I've ever heard. Also one of my favorites off Picture Perfect.

    And it's "We WERE so naive" instead of "We're so naive."

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
