[Repeat: x2]
Headlights
Highways
Your life collides with mine

Leavin' our shoes behind
We cross the water
Our words flow
From mouth to mouth

Like fish seeking dark places
The mist covers our traces
Covers our faces

[Repeat: x2]
Headlights
Highways
Your life collides with mine

We're stepping into shelter
Movin' out of shadow
We made some wrong moves
Along the way

Oh we might have strayed
Will I forget your face
And your fluid gait
Or will I stare into the stillness
This is where I miss you

So long to what's done
How come we've gone?
So much time's been wasted
So many thoughts been lost on you

[Repeat: x3]
Headlights
Highways
Your life collides with mine

Cold wind rushes down on my face
Smoke heats the black throat of the chimney

The door is open
Come on inside...

    i think this is about two people letting their guard down and allowing themselves to fall in love........and then losing love......and "the door is open, come on inside" means that he wants to let her back in

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/
