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.
Heavy night, it was a heavy night
Feels like we've come back from the dead
Heavy night, it was a heavy night
I cannot remember what I said to anyone
If we get up now we can catch the afternoon
Watch the under fifteens playing football in the park
Let's sit in St. Leonard's on this alcoholic day
We're doing the best with what we've got
I'll love you in the morning
When you're still hung-over
I'll love you in the morning
When you're still strung out
I'll love you in the morning
I work hard all week, and so do you
We deserve to let off some steam
Less orthodox, creeping
When we need to rage through this life
There might be ones who are smarter than you
That have the right answers, that wear better shoes
Forget about those melting ice caps
We're doing the best with what we've got
I'll love you in the morning
When you're still hung-over
I'll love you in the morning
When you're still strung out
When I'm with you I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile
A private kind of happiness
You see giant proclamations are all very well
But our love is louder than words
When I'm with you I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile
A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)
When I'm with you I am calm (I'll love you in the morning)
A pearl in your oyster (I'll love you in the morning)
Head on my chest, a silent smile (I'll love you in the morning)
A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)
When I'm with you I am calm (I'll love you in the morning)
A pearl in your oyster (I'll love you in the morning)
Head on my chest, a silent smile (I'll love you in the morning)
A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)
I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning
Feels like we've come back from the dead
Heavy night, it was a heavy night
I cannot remember what I said to anyone
If we get up now we can catch the afternoon
Watch the under fifteens playing football in the park
Let's sit in St. Leonard's on this alcoholic day
We're doing the best with what we've got
I'll love you in the morning
When you're still hung-over
I'll love you in the morning
When you're still strung out
I'll love you in the morning
I work hard all week, and so do you
We deserve to let off some steam
Less orthodox, creeping
When we need to rage through this life
There might be ones who are smarter than you
That have the right answers, that wear better shoes
Forget about those melting ice caps
We're doing the best with what we've got
I'll love you in the morning
When you're still hung-over
I'll love you in the morning
When you're still strung out
When I'm with you I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile
A private kind of happiness
You see giant proclamations are all very well
But our love is louder than words
When I'm with you I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile
A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)
When I'm with you I am calm (I'll love you in the morning)
A pearl in your oyster (I'll love you in the morning)
Head on my chest, a silent smile (I'll love you in the morning)
A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)
When I'm with you I am calm (I'll love you in the morning)
A pearl in your oyster (I'll love you in the morning)
Head on my chest, a silent smile (I'll love you in the morning)
A private kind of happiness (I'll love you in the morning)
I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning
I'll love you in the morning

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

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.
Sorry, but I think you misheard some of the lines. ;) I could tell it's "forget about those melting icecaps" and "that have the right answers, that wear better shoes".
