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.
If heaven's just a calming blow
Then I think I'd rather know
Although it's hard to say that nothing's wrong
When nothing's changed
And yet if God were here alone with me
And I could say anything
I believe I could rest assured she's quite the same
But when people fight to stay inside
What I don't understand
We could leave today, tonight
We'd be fine
Cause there's something that we define
There's no end in sight
Could you please save us all the time?
Forget about what never was
The point, I guess, won't ever come
'Til you're certain, we can all agree
We'll see
You get scared and I get angry
Being lost, feeling lazy
Not at all like you
Not you
But if emptiness is all we've got
And understanding doesn't help at all
Still you're certain there's a place for me
We'll see
We're going to make a radio
We'll make you stay home and say so
Then I think I'd rather know
Although it's hard to say that nothing's wrong
When nothing's changed
And yet if God were here alone with me
And I could say anything
I believe I could rest assured she's quite the same
But when people fight to stay inside
What I don't understand
We could leave today, tonight
We'd be fine
Cause there's something that we define
There's no end in sight
Could you please save us all the time?
Forget about what never was
The point, I guess, won't ever come
'Til you're certain, we can all agree
We'll see
You get scared and I get angry
Being lost, feeling lazy
Not at all like you
Not you
But if emptiness is all we've got
And understanding doesn't help at all
Still you're certain there's a place for me
We'll see
We're going to make a radio
We'll make you stay home and say so

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
this song is a tribute to marconi for creating the radio but within this tribute they tap into the spiritual relm as well as relationship stuff, yeah im fucked up right now but its cool i can do this, the whole instrumental beginning is really the best part, leading up to the lyrics witch are freakin awesome, one of teh best songs an A+ on my list.
