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.
It's over now, I can't compete
I don't know how I'm still standing on my feet
So turned around and incomplete
I'm not that happy woman that I used to be
Oh, please tell me what did you mean
When you said that you were mine, you knew that was a lie
But in your heart you know that truth
And I'm trying to forget
All the things you put me through (Oh baby)
I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone
It's over now, we can't go on
In my eyes I thought that you could do no wrong
It's no surprise we both belong
Because of you my heart's singing us that song
Oh, please tell me what did you mean
When you said that you were mine, you knew that was a lie
But in your heart you know that truth
And I'm trying to forget
All the things you put me through (Oh baby)
I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone
I can't believe our love is over now
Where did love go
And why did I believe that we would be together forever
Now it's all a memory
I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone
I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone
I don't know how I'm still standing on my feet
So turned around and incomplete
I'm not that happy woman that I used to be
Oh, please tell me what did you mean
When you said that you were mine, you knew that was a lie
But in your heart you know that truth
And I'm trying to forget
All the things you put me through (Oh baby)
I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone
It's over now, we can't go on
In my eyes I thought that you could do no wrong
It's no surprise we both belong
Because of you my heart's singing us that song
Oh, please tell me what did you mean
When you said that you were mine, you knew that was a lie
But in your heart you know that truth
And I'm trying to forget
All the things you put me through (Oh baby)
I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone
I can't believe our love is over now
Where did love go
And why did I believe that we would be together forever
Now it's all a memory
I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone
I never thought you'd turn you back
And walk away from love like that
While I was holding on to you
All you did was let me go
I never thought I would regret
The way I felt when we first met
And now I'm standing here
Alone in this world, alone

Just A Little Lovin'

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
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.

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.
