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 the shoreline ends
Where your body starts
where your body starts
And the sting remains
As we trace footsteps we made
And when the tide rolls in
And you rush out to meet it
You will find what you've always waited for
And when the city lights are so bright that they blind you
Just remember your hand was meant for mine
And you run away (and you run away)
And I called your name through sunsets
But you never noticed
Your eyes were always closed
And when the tide rolls in
And you rush out to meet it
You will find what you've always waited for
And when the city lights are so bright that they blind you
Just remember your hand was meant for mine
Your hand was meant for mine
Your hand was meant for mine
And when the tide rolls in
And you rush out to meet it
You will find what you've always waited for
And when the city lights are so bright that they blind you
Just remember, your hand was meant for
Your hand was meant for mine
Where your body starts
where your body starts
And the sting remains
As we trace footsteps we made
And when the tide rolls in
And you rush out to meet it
You will find what you've always waited for
And when the city lights are so bright that they blind you
Just remember your hand was meant for mine
And you run away (and you run away)
And I called your name through sunsets
But you never noticed
Your eyes were always closed
And when the tide rolls in
And you rush out to meet it
You will find what you've always waited for
And when the city lights are so bright that they blind you
Just remember your hand was meant for mine
Your hand was meant for mine
Your hand was meant for mine
And when the tide rolls in
And you rush out to meet it
You will find what you've always waited for
And when the city lights are so bright that they blind you
Just remember, your hand was meant for
Your hand was meant for mine

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/
