This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
watch your step.
be taken aback.
the empty road is on fire.
It'll burn a whole right through you.
remove the excess.
so cheat and lie while you still can.
i'm fathoming something bigger than you'll ever be.
appease the masses,
then steal what i want because im not allowed.
even though i've died over and over again to earn it.
i still won't ever stand still.
i'll scream and shatter all your windows.
I'll write and whisk you all away.
I'll talk and watch you fall faceless.
I'll walk and hear the foot steps follow....no more.
I'm here to reprogram you,
and of course not to your liking.
now repeat all this back to me in Latin.
Maybe pride is on clearance
and ration is being rationed.
we need to have this talk again.
be taken aback.
the empty road is on fire.
It'll burn a whole right through you.

so cheat and lie while you still can.
i'm fathoming something bigger than you'll ever be.

Maybe pride is on clearance
and ration is being rationed.
we need to have this talk again.

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/

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.
