This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Out one day, walking one day
Out one day with you, hallelujah
We found a wood with trolleys on wheels
Rolling all around the hills, hallelujah
And just as soon as it had slipped into sleepy dusk
And it's not very likely that we'll see it again
Out one day, walking one day
Out one day with you, hallelujah
We found a wood, we unfound a wood
And then we cried, oh no
Please tell me, will we ever find it again?
In the depths of Trolley Wood, do Trolleys still drive?
Gone for the day to the Trolley Wood
I'm gone for the day to the Trolley Wood
The Trolley Wood is taking me away
Out one day with you, hallelujah
We found a wood with trolleys on wheels
Rolling all around the hills, hallelujah
And just as soon as it had slipped into sleepy dusk
And it's not very likely that we'll see it again
Out one day, walking one day
Out one day with you, hallelujah
We found a wood, we unfound a wood
And then we cried, oh no
Please tell me, will we ever find it again?
In the depths of Trolley Wood, do Trolleys still drive?
Gone for the day to the Trolley Wood
I'm gone for the day to the Trolley Wood
The Trolley Wood is taking me away

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/
Punchline

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Amazing

Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This song always reminds me of Mr. Rogers so, to me, it's about leaving childhood and having to face the ugly, unfantastical world and wanting to go back.
