Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Heard the news last Friday night
They told me that the end's in sight
I don't know what to say to you
I don't want to believe it's true

[Chorus]
Cause you and I, we're gonna live forever
You and I, we're gonna be together
We don't have to say goodbye
You just have to close your eyes
And you don't have to tell me why
I seen you run the other side

Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey

All the years I've spent with you
All the things that we've been through
They could never be enough
I never thought it would hurt so much

[Chorus]

It's not supposed to be this way, no no (Hey, hey, hey)
It's not supposed to be this way, no no (Hey, hey, hey)

And we don't have to say goodbye
You just have to close your eyes
And you don't have to tell me why
I've seen you run the other side

Love for you I let you know
Now it's time for letting go

    Looking at it from a religious standpoint, it's talking about life after death. On the other hand, it could also be about the end of a relationship, which usually feels like death, and in this case he'd talking about being able to reflect on what they had in dreams.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.
