This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
This scene is a hard sell
Patience is underwhelming
Besides you don't want to sleep up late
Midnight on a dirt road
Breathe broken manifold
Time is part of my history
Long days full of bad notes translates to a bad joke
This will be my legacy one day
If I don't have a life to show, put this on my tombstone
Dialer's almost dead, I've gotta let you go
Hang my head next to the phone
Seems so long ago
Looking back on a long night
Sounds bad in the harsh light
At least it's with a document
Of what we were simpler than
I see clearly now, never will escape
Once we took the time to make a beautiful mistake
Baby, I'll take this all forever
Tonight I'll see with clarity right where we belong
Never would go wrong

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”

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'

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/

“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.
Actually, I disagree. I think this is written about Matt's time with The Get Up Kids. See, look at the first verse. In an interview in AP magazine during their farewell tour, they told a story about their first tour ever. Jim drove the van over a pothole and broke the manifold, so it started pumping fumes into the van. They had to drive from Kansas City to Chicago with the windows down (hence the "Breathe broken manifold") line. Then "part of my history" line, that's pretty obvious.
Then in the next verse, the line of "Long days full of bad notes" likely refers to when the band was first getting started
Then, at the end he says "I see clearly now, I never will escape. Once we took the time to make a beautiful mistake." I think that's the central theme of the entire song, which is to say that he's afraid that his long legacy as The Get Up Kids' frontman will overshadow any future endeavors, including The New Amsterdams, but he doesn't regret that time. Hence, "The Beautiful Mistake."
