County Line

Cass McCombs

On my way to you, old county
Hoping nothing's changed
That your pain is never-ending
That is, it's still the same
County line
County line
County line
I left so far behind

You never even tried to love me
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
What did I have to do to make you want me?
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
I feel so blind, I can't make out the passing road signs
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
All that you would have me do is cross that county line
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
County line

Now you know I'm coming, old county
To see construction sites
And your new homes never-ending
I think I can see the lights
County line
County line
County line
I can smell the columbine

You never even tried to love me
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
What did I have to do to make you want me?
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
I feel so blind, I can't make out the passing road signs
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
All that you would have me do is cross that county line
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
County line
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
County line
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
County line
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
County line
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

    . We all instinctivly fear change, especially with love. Coming back to a place, where one came from and was alienated. Coming back to a place and changed so much.

    it takes time

    to get there driving to you a part of me, I left behind within a place Coming back just because all that I know has changed.

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.

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.

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.
