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.
They go for you with their love and fear
They go being and never disappear
If you rub yourself along now
You'll get down to their kind of emotion
Straight to your heart
Sweet doll
Straight to your heart
Gotta love and forgive
Or you can't breathe
Gotta search and be with
Or you can't breathe
I got something to give
Before I leave
I can never run back
I'm smothered in, memories of you are too
What is given back, we can't unglue
All this sticks to me, some days sweet like honey
Some days tart like Marmite
Sticks to your heart
Sweet doll
Straight to your heart
Gotta love and forgive
Or you can't breathe
Gotta search and be with
Or you can't breathe
I got something to give
Before I leave
I can never run back
The croft, the croft
Old lofts and searching
The path, the path
Of always searching
All from the heart
All from the need
All from the love
All from the greed
The croft, the croft
Old lofts and searching
Right from the
Right from the heart
Old from the need
Old from the love
Old from the greed
I tell you this old heart is covered in glue
I can never run back or forget you
I tell you this old heart is covered in glue
I could never run back or forget you
Gotta love and forgive
Or you can't breathe
Gotta search and be with
Or you can't breathe
I got something to give
Before I leave
I can never run back
They go being and never disappear
If you rub yourself along now
You'll get down to their kind of emotion
Straight to your heart
Sweet doll
Straight to your heart
Gotta love and forgive
Or you can't breathe

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/

Amazing

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.
