Cold nights, so sick of cold nights
Of wasting all my life
In a black house where I grew up

Hold tight, keep saying hold tight
I don't know what I'm waiting for
When it comes I still want more

And I've been locked away these gray, gray days
And the time we've spent is not our own anymore

This is my life (my life, my life)
This is your life (your life, your life)
(x2)
And as the world turns at 3 A.M.
Spinning round is not home anymore
Uh-oh down
Uh-oh down
Uh-oh down
Uh-oh down down down

Say you're tired, yeah, you say you're tired
And you don't know what to do, what to do
'Cause it's all on you

Say you're tired, keep saying you're so tired
And you don't know what to do when you're falling down
Down, down, down, down to the ground

And as the darkness falls faster Onto day

This is my life (my life, my life)
This is my life (my life, my life)
And as the world turns at 3 A.M.

This is my life (my life, my life)
This is your life (your life, your life)
(x2)
And as the world turns at 3 A.M.
Spinning round is not home
Spinning round is not home anymore
Uh-oh down
Uh-oh down
Uh-oh down
Uh-oh down

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.
