This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Here I am, hopeful again
I can't say when
I wasn't this way
Don't need to worry about me
That's what I said
It's not what I mean
That's what I said
It's not what I mean
Here I am, swinging alone
A time frame surrounds the pictures I hold
But they don't hold up well
Started to wonder if I fell in love with you at all
If I fell in love with you at all
And when will the time come
I could hear a sad love song, that doesn't speak to me?
When will a time come
I could sing a nice love song, using thou and me?
Here I am, walking away
My head's held high
What's the use gettin' down
Because all that I wanted is here
I just kept the ground, close to my ears
I just kept the ground, close to my ears
And when will a time come?
When will it come?
Ooh
Ooh-ah
I can't say when
I wasn't this way
Don't need to worry about me
That's what I said
It's not what I mean
That's what I said
It's not what I mean
Here I am, swinging alone
A time frame surrounds the pictures I hold
But they don't hold up well
Started to wonder if I fell in love with you at all
If I fell in love with you at all
And when will the time come
I could hear a sad love song, that doesn't speak to me?
When will a time come
I could sing a nice love song, using thou and me?
Here I am, walking away
My head's held high
What's the use gettin' down
Because all that I wanted is here
I just kept the ground, close to my ears
I just kept the ground, close to my ears
And when will a time come?
When will it come?
Ooh
Ooh-ah

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
well, the meaning in rather obvious, but great song nonetheless.
i'd say most people can relate
