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.
And like a brand new trend,
You’ll be my new girlfriend
We’ll make you back before your brothers even know you left
And every song I sing
Will be your favorite thing
I wrote this one for you
Why aren’t you singing?
We’ll get in my new car
I’ll be a movie star
And I’ll break your heart
Then you fall apart
But I don’t care at all
Who you really are
And when we’re done you get the fuck out of my car
I never told you to
I never think about you
I never holded you
I forget how to
I never cared about you
I never saw that in you
I never loved you
Baby got your gun out
And now we’re dug out
And now we’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
x2
(C'mon x3)
This is getting really scary for me
Baby this is how you tell me
Hear you loud and clearly that you really love me
Baby, you’re in love now
And now we’re dug out
And then I’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
I’d stop it if I could
But I don’t think I would
I had no idea
I could look so good
And something’s telling me
Predictability
Hang on, ‘cause I’m a time bomb baby
And we will make it through
If you want to
I’ll get a new tattoo
That says ‘I love you’
And when I find someone new
What am I gonna do?
I’ll just change the name
To what better suits you
I never told you to
I never think about you
I never holded you
I forget how to
Baby got your gun out
And now we’re dug out
And now we’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
x2
(C'mon x3)
This is getting really scary for me
Baby this is how you tell me
Hear you loud and clearly that you really love me
Baby, you’re in love now
And now we’re dug out
And then I’ll run out
And then I’ll get down
I'm sick of running from you honey
What are you gonna do?
She said don't make a move
You’ll make the six o’clock news
x2
[???]
You better pull the fucking trigger
Baby got your gun out
And now we’re dug out
And now we’ll run out
And then I’ll get down

Baby this is how you tell me
Hear you loud and clearly that you really love me

Baby’s got your gun out
Baby, you’re in love now

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
