From nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you
Now we're slipping near the edge
Holding something we don't need
Oh, this delusion in our heads
Is gonna bring us to our knees

[Hook - James Bay:]
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me

Yeah, see as I lay here and get lost into those eyes
Can't deny my feelings for your being, they run deep inside
And we both know our hunger for some lust is all that's appetized
No ties is how it's advertised
I'd say we love these moments, but that's half a lie
Damn, you're trying to figure me out
And in your eyes I see the pain and fear that turns into doubt
Yeah, you find peace inside your mind as we lay here on this couch
And that's even though you know this moment may not last past now
It's not fair, you're in my ear, "Mark are you wasting my time"
We're so hard to define, It's a shame our name will laminate time
Cause what's forever to a fly, it's forever till we die
And if I let you have your way, you would just date cause I rhyme
Our connection is empty, but lately I've been searching for real
Do you remember how it feels to live and actually feel
She broke me down, so now you're left with all my pieces to heal
How can you steal something from someone who has nothing to steal
That's real

[Hook - James Bay:]
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me

See as you lay here... or as we lay here
You won't bottle your questions
You're asking why you can't stay here
The truth, I'm trying to lose all my feelings before they appear
Wanna be clear, but it's hard with this naked body I lay near
I know, I shoulda chose someone that matters, no bitches
I'm wishing I listened, I could've saved my heart from the stitches
We're kissing, I listen, you're telling me your favorite position
When really all I wanna hear is that you're loyal and driven
We're living in a world where girls are thinking diamonds are love
We're mining it up to remind us of us, paying for trust
Do you get it? She told me, "Mark just forget it"
I wanna change this world and girl I just don't think that you get it
This pressure is heavy, not ready to just let you forget me
But when this all is said and done, you gon regret that you met me
I used to wanna find a feeling, now I'm feeling so empty
But honestly, I wanna thank you for the love that you lent me
That's real

[James Bay:]
From nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you
Now we're slipping near the edge
Holding something we don't need
Oh, this delusion in our heads
Is gonna bring us to our knees

[Hook - James Bay:]
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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/

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.
