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”
You’re always almost getting busted
And whatever you did wrong is something big
You’re always almost getting thrown out and branded you tell me
At least that’s how it feels.
You’re somewhere between a waste and the best place I’ve ever been
I am breathing underwater
You’re somewhere between the lies and the world and bleeding and skin
But I’m learning to balance, yes I’m learning to balance my love
You’re somewhere between a waste and the best place I’ve ever been
I am breathing underwater
You’re somewhere between the lies and the world and bleeding and skin
But I’m learning to balance, yes I’m learning to balance my love
You’re always almost fighting someone
You’re always almost on to something big
You’re always almost what you want
At least that’s how it feels
You’re somewhere between a waste and the best place I’ve ever been
I am breathing underwater
You’re somewhere between the lies and the world and bleeding and skin
But I’m learning to balance, yes I’m learning to balance my love
And whatever you did wrong is something big
You’re always almost getting thrown out and branded you tell me
At least that’s how it feels.
You’re somewhere between a waste and the best place I’ve ever been
I am breathing underwater
You’re somewhere between the lies and the world and bleeding and skin
But I’m learning to balance, yes I’m learning to balance my love
You’re somewhere between a waste and the best place I’ve ever been
I am breathing underwater
You’re somewhere between the lies and the world and bleeding and skin
But I’m learning to balance, yes I’m learning to balance my love
You’re always almost fighting someone
You’re always almost on to something big
You’re always almost what you want
At least that’s how it feels
You’re somewhere between a waste and the best place I’ve ever been
I am breathing underwater
You’re somewhere between the lies and the world and bleeding and skin
But I’m learning to balance, yes I’m learning to balance my love

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
