This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
And my heart aches from this news
Like your footsteps in crowded rooms
Feel the sweet scents of autumn blooms
Is this what you imagined?
Caught your glimpse from an empty stare
Hidden eyes behind your auburn hair
Catch my breath for the smoke to clear
And it's just as it should be
My best laid plans
Will build and break your heart
Her guilty hands
Tear my whole world apart
My mind keeps racing
She's softly dreaming
I'm scraped and sober
But there's no one listening
And we'll wake up in vacant rooms
Pull you close to my aching skin
Broken glass on the porcelain
Is this what you imagined?
We'll forget what we used to say
And our lives won't mean anything
Pull me close as I drift away
And it's just as it should be
My best laid plans
Will build and break your heart
Her guilty hands
Tear my whole world apart
My mind keeps racing
She's softly dreaming
I'm scraped and sober
But there's no one listening
And we'll both take our revenge
But we still don't feel any better
And we'll both take our revenge
But we still won't feel any better
x4
I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening
I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening
I'm scraped and sober but there's no one listening
I'm scraped and sober but there's no on listening to me at all
Like your footsteps in crowded rooms

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Oh and I just looked up "broken glass on porcelain" on Google and found that porcelain is used to break glass when breaking into cars and what-not.
