oh holly was a roadside heretic
felt the weight of the circus town
all the fakers seemed to do was make her sick
now holly's got a shotgun frown
and underneath her smile's a bitterness
and a need to secure her faith
'cause all the self-belief is just emptiness
if she can never dominate
the question is not how far to push it
when you're forced out of control
we all could use some understanding
before we feel the whip come down
oh billy's got his trite philosophy
tucked away inside his chest
'cause daddy's into cars and pornography
oh and daddy always knows what's best
now underneath the tears of this bitterness
is a need to secure a faith
'cause all the books have left is an emptiness
and a growing sense of hate
the question is not...
roadside heretics
we're all roadside heretics
felt the weight of the circus town

if she can never dominate
the question is not how far to push it

and a growing sense of hate
the question is not...

we're all roadside heretics

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”
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/

Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
