The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me
Off guard, red-handed, now I'm far from lonely
Asleep I still see you lying next to me
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I
I need something else
Would someone please just give me
Hit me, knock me out and let me go back to sleep
I can laugh all I want, inside I still am empty
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I
I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got
I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got
(All that I've got)
I guess, I remember every glance you shot me
Unharmed, I'm losing weight and some body heat
I squoze so hard I stopped your heart from beating
So deep that I didn't even scream, fuck me, I
I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got
I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got
(All that I've got, all that I've got)
And it's all that I've got
Yeah, it's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me
So deep that I didn't even scream, fuck me
I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got
I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got
And it's all that I've got
Yeah, it's all that I've got
Off guard, red-handed, now I'm far from lonely
Asleep I still see you lying next to me
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I
I need something else
Would someone please just give me
Hit me, knock me out and let me go back to sleep
I can laugh all I want, inside I still am empty
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me I
I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got
I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got
(All that I've got)
I guess, I remember every glance you shot me
Unharmed, I'm losing weight and some body heat
I squoze so hard I stopped your heart from beating
So deep that I didn't even scream, fuck me, I
I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got
I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got
(All that I've got, all that I've got)
And it's all that I've got
Yeah, it's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
It's all that I've got
So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me
So deep that I didn't even scream, fuck me
I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got
I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got
And it's all that I've got
Yeah, it's all that I've got

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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/
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
great tune.
