Every time I turn around I see places that look so unreal
Every time I try to say exactly how I feel
And when I look at you I see a different side each and every time
I try to find another place there's nothing I can find
I wanna say feel it slipping away
It happens ever time you're in my mind
I want to say things that to you are true
But I'm not sure about you
I'll never be who you want me to be
Gotta take some time in my life
Won't ever know until I try
I just gotta know why
Wouldn't you like all the best things out of life?
All you got to do is just try then run for your life
All you gotta do is what's best for you
All you gotta do is get through and run for your life
A silence speaks to me a voice that seems so far away
The unheard cries of wasted lives I hear them everyday
Left in this sullen room I search for things that I can find
To hold on to to help me through nothing can be divined
All of these images start crumbling from my memory
I search my mind go back in time to the way things used to be

    I think this song's about having a crush on a girl you could never have,then when you finally get her in your grasps you realize that she's nothing but a greedy bitch.

    And FUCK ATHORITY!!!

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/

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.

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.
