Seen you the other day
Still looking so fine
Hating that I lost what I had in you,
If I could turn back time

I would make a change and
Never do the things that I done to you
I see you're doing good
Shawty your career is taking off like mine
And what we could have done together what a shame
I'm 'bout to lose my mind

It's starting to hit me now
All I think about is what could've been
And I just sit around thinking about you
Only what could've been, yeah
It could've been us with the kids,
House on the hill, you the first lady
And I'm the president
Now all that I did not worth this
Thinking 'bout what could've been
Thinking 'bout what could've been

I'm reflecting on the past
That special thing we had
I should have worked it out, oh
I just couldn't see it then,
But seeing you with him,
I know his name's on it now

And I been through all the change
It's roaming now a days
I wanna settle down, down
Memories playing in my head
So many things I said,
Wish we could talk about

It's starting to hit me now
All I think about is what could've been
And I just sit around thinking about you
Only what could've been, yeah
It could've been us with the kids,
House on the hill, you the first lady
And I'm the president
Now all that I did not worth this
Thinking 'bout what could've been
Thinking 'bout what could've been

I didn't appreciate when you were mine
And now I'm asking
God just once turn back the hands of time, yeah
So I can fix some wrongs give me another,
Give us another chance
Girl, I just can't live without you
And living with regret
I guess it wasn't meant,
I'm stuck here wondering if

It's starting to hit me now
All I think about is what could've been
And I just sit around thinking about you
Only what could've been, yeah
It could've been us with the kids,
house on the hill, you the first lady
and I'm the president
Now all that I did not worth this
Thinking 'bout what could've been
Thinking 'bout what could've been

It's starting to hit me now
All I think about is what could've been
And I just sit around thinking about you
Only what could've been, yeah
us with the kids,
house on the hill, you the first lady
and I'm the president

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.
