So I’m going to say the things that I’ve dreamed of.
After all this might be the last chance.
I have to explain to you that there’s more.
Give me the time to tell you that your beautiful
and everyday I wish I could still taste that raspberry perfume.
You left on that note you wrote before we lost,
cuz’ I’m so sick of playing she loves me, she loves me not…
With this lonely rose because I know you can’t even remember the sound of my voice.

But there’s always hope, and there’s always chance.
Maybe someday I’ll get that feeling back.
Guess it’s time to get off the rocks
and maybe put the pictures down.
But I can’t stop now, cuz’ this is all I’ve got.
We could step aside and watch the cars go by,
only counting the white ones
or take a ride to the reservoir
and we could start from there
cuz’ I’ve got a lot to say…

    i hate how some songs i listen to will just automatically fall into that "this will always remind me of her" category. this song definitely fell in there. dammit.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
