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.
Jealousy, I do believe you're haunting me.
I've said before; I don't mislead.
One girl's enough for a guy like me.
So fall asleep in my arms, and fall away from temptation, and fall.
I'll always be here if you fall.
I'll be here to catch you. Why don't I care?
I don't resist. Don't have the urge, though they persist.
There is no cure, There's no disease.
One girl's enough for a guy like me.
I've said before; I don't mislead.
One girl's enough for a guy like me.
So fall asleep in my arms, and fall away from temptation, and fall.
I'll always be here if you fall.
I'll be here to catch you. Why don't I care?
I don't resist. Don't have the urge, though they persist.
There is no cure, There's no disease.
One girl's enough for a guy like me.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

it definitely is talking about how this guy wants commitment and he is saying that he wont cheat or anything like that because he likes the girl tooo much and he cant even look at other girls the same way.
I agree with skichick74. "One girl's enough for a guy like me" I think he's saying in this day and age with guys going out with girl after girl just for the popularity points, he doesn't care, he only needs one (her).
P.S. Skiing stinks, snowboarding is better. :)
actually, i disagree. i think it's the girl that's being all seductive with other guys. that's why he's talking about being jealous. and now he's like one girls enough for a guy like me, but obviously one guys not enough for this girl. thats why he says fall away from temptation and that hell be there when shes ready to committ, i guess.
I also think that this is about a guy who is ready to settle down. He's saying there is no other girl for him apart from the one he has. He wants commitment and he's promising to be faithful.
