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”
It was ten years ago we did a show in a pub in Yeovil town
but no one came we were packing in the rain hungry, we went to look around
It was late and dark we stopped and we parked
by a chippy in a one way street
We hadn't ordered before in through the door
came a nightmare swaying on his feet
He was about my size red around the eyes
smelling fo glue and beer
A dotted line across his throat "cut here" said the note
I thought "I'd rather not be here"
He came into my space a foot from my face I took my right hand slowly from my coat
But he wasn't that slow "are ya gonna 'ave a go, are you man or a mouse" and I quote
In Yeovil town
Well the scars on his head went well with the web of the spiderman tattooed on his ear
My heart overtime pumped a heady red wine of anger, adrenalin and fear.
Then in from the rain a heavy metal couple came, the frozen moment passed
Our order arrived I pushed him aside and we were outside looking in the glass
With our food in our laps staring at the maps searching for the way out town
Then round the bend came our new friend, Phil said "lets run the bastard down"
That night in Yeovil
In Yeovil town
Well he started up the car he wasn't too far away staggering in teh middle of the road
I saw the fright in the white headlights oh God we only just slowerd
He put his hands out, gave the front a clout and seeing it was us inside
Threw his chips on the floor staggered round to my the moment the engine died
That night in Yeovil
In Yeovil town
I was struggling with the lock he was picking up a rock finally the engine fired
We sped into the night we hadn't touched a bite you know we nearly retired
Well the moral of this song won't take long
You might want to write this down
Don't tempt fate, never eat late and stay away from Yeovil town
Don't tempt fate, never eat late and stay away from Yeovil town.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
