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.
Spring play written for the obvious in mind
You rise and analyze secret little kneeshakes
That keep you up all the time
We surround in circles, try to get up
One more false move
One more action I can't forget anything else
In the event that I might slip up I'm telling you now
Open your eyes and memorize here on and out
Take your eyes out you play the part so well
Cut off screened in tracklessly dreaming
Always a combination of one or the other
Girl keeps screaming boy keeps feeling far away
Isolated and just stained blood red
Isolated and just stained
One more false move
One more action I can't forget anything else
In the event that I might slip up I'm telling you now
Open your eyes and memorize here on and out
(here on and out x3)
Right now she must be thinking
There's too much on his mind and not enough of mine
One more false move
One more action I can't forget anything else
In the event that I might slip up I'm telling you now
Open your eyes and memorize
You rise and analyze secret little kneeshakes
That keep you up all the time
We surround in circles, try to get up
One more false move
One more action I can't forget anything else
In the event that I might slip up I'm telling you now
Open your eyes and memorize here on and out
Take your eyes out you play the part so well
Cut off screened in tracklessly dreaming
Always a combination of one or the other
Girl keeps screaming boy keeps feeling far away
Isolated and just stained blood red
Isolated and just stained
One more false move
One more action I can't forget anything else
In the event that I might slip up I'm telling you now
Open your eyes and memorize here on and out
(here on and out x3)
Right now she must be thinking
There's too much on his mind and not enough of mine
One more false move
One more action I can't forget anything else
In the event that I might slip up I'm telling you now
Open your eyes and memorize

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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/
