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”
In the times I dream Jesus
It's like he's coming through the walls
When I'm working at my desk at night
I hear his footsteps in the hall
You can believe me not believe me
I'm just a bird upon the sill
And these words just pour right through me
Like water through a mill
He was a rebel jew
He was a rebel jew
And he died for you and your sins
He was a rebel jew
He was a rebel jew
Let him in
Sometimes I dream of Texas
Yeah, it's the biggest part of me
And the planes look like the sea at night
Oh, she wants to be so free
She is a rebel state
She is a rebel state
And it's not too late for her to break
From a sick, sick union
An unhealed wound and separate
All the time I dream of Michelle
And the towers in her mind
Some women lie down with killers
Oh, my baby's not that kind
She is a real good girl
Yeah, she's a real good girl
And she stops the world so I can't see
That she's a good, good girl
A good, good girl to me
It's like he's coming through the walls
When I'm working at my desk at night
I hear his footsteps in the hall
You can believe me not believe me
I'm just a bird upon the sill
And these words just pour right through me
Like water through a mill
He was a rebel jew
He was a rebel jew
And he died for you and your sins
He was a rebel jew
He was a rebel jew
Let him in
Sometimes I dream of Texas
Yeah, it's the biggest part of me
And the planes look like the sea at night
Oh, she wants to be so free
She is a rebel state
She is a rebel state
And it's not too late for her to break
From a sick, sick union
An unhealed wound and separate
All the time I dream of Michelle
And the towers in her mind
Some women lie down with killers
Oh, my baby's not that kind
She is a real good girl
Yeah, she's a real good girl
And she stops the world so I can't see
That she's a good, good girl
A good, good girl to me

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.
