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.
When peeps give you love
There's nothing in this world that can set u free
Yeah, feel me, yo G hit me
Here I am, all alone
Can't let them get the best of me
(Gotta let you know, love sets you free)
And these walls closing in
Closing in slowly
But ain't no way they can hold me down
I won't allow it
Cause I believe, I believe that love yeah, yeah
Love sets you free
You know it will take you higher, oh yeah
If you believe
Do you know?
What it's like when shackles are on your feet?
You're facing a hurricane
One more chapter in your journey
(Your journey)
Break the darkness in my life like sunshine
Now I believe, now I believe that love
Love sets you free
(Sets you free)
You know it's gonna take you higher
If you just believe
(You just believe)
Believe that love will set you free
I know it's gonna take you higher, oh
(Higher)
Just believe
You just believe
And you will receive
I opened up with my hear
There was no doubt
That hatred pulls you in
And love pulls you out
If you believe in faith you will never fall
Love will take you higher than anyone
Love sets you free
(Love will set you free, oh)
It's gonna take you higher
(It's gonna take you higher)
Just believe
(I do believe, all you gotta do is believe)
Love sets you free
(Love will set you free)
If you just believe
Take you higher
Just believe
(I do believe, just believe it)
I do believe it
Only love can set you free
Let it be, everything you need
A little faith, charity
If you just believe
Open up let it in
If you change everything will be
Love is blind love is sweet
If you only trust in me
Only love can set you free
Let it be, everything you need
A little faith, charity
If you just believe
Open up let it in
If you change everything will be
Love is blind love is sweet
If you only trust in me
Just believe, love will set you free
There's nothing in this world that can set u free
Yeah, feel me, yo G hit me
Here I am, all alone
Can't let them get the best of me
(Gotta let you know, love sets you free)
And these walls closing in
Closing in slowly
But ain't no way they can hold me down
I won't allow it
Cause I believe, I believe that love yeah, yeah
Love sets you free
You know it will take you higher, oh yeah
If you believe
Do you know?
What it's like when shackles are on your feet?
You're facing a hurricane
One more chapter in your journey
(Your journey)
Break the darkness in my life like sunshine
Now I believe, now I believe that love
Love sets you free
(Sets you free)
You know it's gonna take you higher
If you just believe
(You just believe)
Believe that love will set you free
I know it's gonna take you higher, oh
(Higher)
Just believe
You just believe

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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” 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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
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.
