No matter the rest, precious is time
I've been waiting for so long now
But sooner or later, this day will be ours
I am leaving to come back

It's a long way, I miss the time, I run to you

You bring my thoughts to life as I count the days
We'll meet again, somehow, to never be the same

No matter the rest, precious is time
I've been waiting for so long now
But sooner or later, this day will be ours
I am leaving to come back

I need to fill this emptiness, I need you more than air
The lack is felt

The horizon is revealed to me
My shadow shrinks by the eye, to disappear
I'll do anything I can
To save the time we've left, even more
And you bring my thoughts to life
As I count the days and nights
I'm on the way

No matter the rest, precious is time
I've been waiting for so long now
But sooner or later, this day will be ours
I am leaving to come back

This day will be ours
'Cause I am leaving to come back

    My Interpretation

    I think this is about needing to leave, to escape from a toxic environment & the scars that remind us of our time there.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
