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.
And it's all in how you mix the two
And it starts just where the light exists
It's a feeling that you cannot miss
And it burns a hole
Through everyone that feels it
Well, you're never gonna find it
If you're looking for it
Won't come your way, yeah
Well, you'll never find it
If you're looking for it (looking for it)
Should've done something but I've done it enough
By the way your hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you
And you never would have thought in the end
How amazing it feels just to live again
It's a feeling that you cannot miss
And it burns a hole through everyone that feels it
Well, you're never gonna find it
If you're looking for it
Won't come your way, yeah
Well, you'll never find it
If you're looking for it (looking for it)
Should've done something but I've done it enough
By the way your hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you
Should've said something but I've said it enough
By the way my words were fading
Rather waste some time with you
(Time with you)
(Waste some time with you)
(Waste some time with you)
Should've done something but I've done it enough
By the way your hands were shaking
Rather waste my time with you
Should've said something but I've said it enough
By the way my words were fading
Rather waste my time with you
Should've done something but I've done it enough
By the way my hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you
Waste some time with you
Waste some time with you
(Waste some time with you)
Waste some time with you
(Waste some time with you)
Waste some time with you
(Waste some time with you)
Should've done something but I've done it enough
By the way your hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you
And it starts just where the light exists
It's a feeling that you cannot miss
And it burns a hole
Through everyone that feels it
Well, you're never gonna find it
If you're looking for it
Won't come your way, yeah
Well, you'll never find it
If you're looking for it (looking for it)
Should've done something but I've done it enough
By the way your hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you
And you never would have thought in the end
How amazing it feels just to live again
It's a feeling that you cannot miss

(Waste some time with you)

Rather waste my time with you
Should've done something but I've done it enough
By the way my hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you
Waste some time with you
Waste some time with you
(Waste some time with you)
Waste some time with you
(Waste some time with you)
Waste some time with you
(Waste some time with you)
Should've done something but I've done it enough
By the way your hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
This song is amazing. That's all that needs to be said.
