I don't know who you are
But now somehow you're breaking my heart
And I don't know where you are, are
But like a drug lift me up to the stars

It's why I'm feeling alive, it's the first time
Here's hoping this day won't end

I don't know, now, what to do, I don't care
I need 10 more minutes with you
10 more minutes with you
10 more minutes with you

I don't know what you are
But one look and I'm hooked from the start
Now I'm falling apart
That's what you get for falling in love

Tonight I'd look in her eyes for the first time
Here's hoping this pain will end

I don't know, now, what to do, I don't care
I need 10 more minutes with you
10 more minutes with you
10 more minutes with you
If you want to then you've got to

It's what you live for, it's what you live for
So what you lived for it, would you die for it?
I'm alive for 10 more minutes, oh

If you want to then you got to
10 more minutes with you
If you want to then you got to
10 more minutes with you
If you want to, now you got it all
10 more minutes with you

    "Life was crap, then you came and made it so much better than it was, but now you have to leave. God, I'd give anything to have ten more minutes with you"

    Basically, infatuation.

    A heart-ripping combination of nostalgia, memory, sadness, and dark desperation, all set on fire and tossed into the cool night breeze...

    and i don't know who you are but like a bird lift me up to the stars now i'm feeling alive for the first time here's hoping this day won't end

    Someone once told me that love always looks good in the morning, and you just have to be careful that the sun doesn't set on the relationship before you want it to...same basic principle here, hoping that the day won't end...and at the same time, hoping that it will...

    now i am gonna explode for the first time here's hoping this pain will end

    To love somebody so much that it hurts, that nothing's important except ten more minutes with them...man, what a feeling that must be.

    It makes me think of the feeling you get when you meet someone that you feel like you've known your whole life, and they make you feel so alive with love and so nothing matters except having more time [in this case 10 minutes] with that person. But I will agree with there being a lust factor in there somewhere... But virex7, how is this very, very smashing pumpkins? Not trying to be bitchy, Im just curious...cause i didnt get that ^_^

    And by the way...Does anyone pick up on the slighly British sounding accent of some of Matt's words, Specificly "care"?

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
