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.
It's undeniable
That we should be together
It's unbelievable
How I used to say that I'd fall never
The basis you need to know
If you don't know just how I feel
Then let me show you now
That I'm for real
If all things in time
Time will reveal
Yeah
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one
So incredible
The way things work themselves out
And all emotional, once you know what it's all about babe
And undesirable
For us to be apart
Never would have made it very far
Cause you know that you've got the keys to my heart
Cause
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one
Say farewell to the dark night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child
Whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life
Into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out the life line
Just in the nick of time
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one
That we should be together
It's unbelievable
How I used to say that I'd fall never
The basis you need to know
If you don't know just how I feel
Then let me show you now
That I'm for real
If all things in time
Time will reveal
Yeah
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one
So incredible
The way things work themselves out
And all emotional, once you know what it's all about babe
And undesirable
For us to be apart
Never would have made it very far
Cause you know that you've got the keys to my heart
Cause
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one
Say farewell to the dark night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child
Whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life
Into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out the life line
Just in the nick of time
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I start back at one

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/

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.
