Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I've been waiting for the right time to tell her how I feel
I've been waiting so long to say what's on my mind
But I just don't think she's gonna understand
That we could watch a stupid movie
While I hold her by the hand
Stay up all night talking but we'll never get the chance
So I wrote these words so maybe she'll understand
That I've been staying up all night
Waiting for a phone call
Staying up all night
Praying that I don't fall
Madly in love with this girl that's gonna break my heart
(she'll break my heart every time I see her)
I guess it's t he right time to tell her how I feel
It's my one last show to say what's on my mind
But I just don't think she's gonna understand
That I would drive all night just to see her for a day
Make another broken promise
If she says that I could stay
So I wrote these words so maybe she'll understand
Every time I see her smile that smile
I think that maybe she had saved that one for me
Then I realize that I'm going crazy
Or maybe it's just my imagination working overtime
On a girl that's gonna break my heart
I've been waiting so long to say what's on my mind
But I just don't think she's gonna understand
That we could watch a stupid movie
While I hold her by the hand
Stay up all night talking but we'll never get the chance
So I wrote these words so maybe she'll understand
That I've been staying up all night
Waiting for a phone call
Staying up all night
Praying that I don't fall
Madly in love with this girl that's gonna break my heart
(she'll break my heart every time I see her)
I guess it's t he right time to tell her how I feel
It's my one last show to say what's on my mind
But I just don't think she's gonna understand
That I would drive all night just to see her for a day
Make another broken promise
If she says that I could stay
So I wrote these words so maybe she'll understand
Every time I see her smile that smile
I think that maybe she had saved that one for me
Then I realize that I'm going crazy
Or maybe it's just my imagination working overtime
On a girl that's gonna break my heart

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.
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/

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.
i think this song exactly the point of view of a teenager who is fallen in love.
