This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
The cycles they are clawing
Thrive
Wander, then starve
The cycles they are thawing
Dive
Wallow, then freeze
Silence
Ripping up through the cracks
The thriving of the doomed
Before the cleanse to dust
Rise
Run
Feed
Ripen
Wound
Wither
Fall
Rise again
Taking time
by the forelock
A chronology for survival
And a wretched end for the pathetic
Thrive
Wander, then starve
The cycles they are thawing
Dive
Wallow, then freeze
Silence
Ripping up through the cracks
The thriving of the doomed
Before the cleanse to dust
Rise
Run
Feed
Ripen
Wound
Wither
Fall
Rise again
Taking time
by the forelock
A chronology for survival
And a wretched end for the pathetic

Just A Little Lovin'

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.
this song is fucking awesome.
