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”
Y-O-U-R-E G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S
Remember that tanktop you bought me
You wrote "You're gorgeous" on it
You took me to your rented motor car
And filmed me on the bonnet
You got me to hitch my knees up
And pulled my legs apart
You took an instamatic camera
And pulled my sleeves around my heart
Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous, I know you'll get me through
You said my clothes were sexy
You tore away my shirt
You rubbed an ice-cube on my chest
Snapped me 'til it hurt
Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous, our love will see us through
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
Bababa, bababa, bababa, bababa, bababa, bababa, bababa, bababa, bababa, haha
You said I wasn't cheap
You paid me twenty pounds
You promised to put me in a magazine
On every table, in every lounge
Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous, I know you'll get me through
Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous, I know you'll get me, know you'll get me through
Know you'll get me through, know you'll get me through
Know you'll get me through, know you'll get me through
Know you'll get me through, know you'll get me through
Know you'll get me, know you'll get me through
I know you'll get me, know you'll get me, know you'll get me through
Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous, I know you'll get me through
I know you'll get me, know you'll get me, I know you'll get me through
Remember that tanktop you bought me
You wrote "You're gorgeous" on it
You took me to your rented motor car
And filmed me on the bonnet
You got me to hitch my knees up
And pulled my legs apart
You took an instamatic camera
And pulled my sleeves around my heart
Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous, I know you'll get me through
You said my clothes were sexy
You tore away my shirt
You rubbed an ice-cube on my chest
Snapped me 'til it hurt
Because you're gorgeous, I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous, our love will see us through

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/
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.
This is what I just read somewhere:
"The catchy chorus was the thing that tricked fans of this song. People in love began singing it to their beaus and it even featured in some couples’ weddings as they danced to the throes of “Because you’re gorgeous — I’d do anything for you.” What Stephen Jones was actually talking about in this tune, was an aspiring model tricked into a soft-porn photo shoot by a charming photographer."
