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.
oh how you move
you could say anything
you're just so smooth
dresed to kill sweetheart
you're well aware
you could have anyone
can I have this dance
right now
girl I'm shaking in my shoes
I can't get away from you
while you're moving on the dance floor
I'm begging you for more
and take my hand
and we can shake it all night long
our bodies roll so natural
if only I can talk to you
so run your fingers through your hair
I'm only human I can't help it
you're my worst addiction
i need a hit a taste a midnight fix
so run your fingers through your hair
I'm only human I can't help it
you're my worst addiction
I need a hit a taste a midnight...
oh how you move
you could say anything
you're just so smooth
dresed to kill sweetheart
girl I'm shakin in my shoes
I can't get away from you
while you're moving on the dance floor
I'm begging you for more
and take my hand
and we can shake it all night long
our bodies roll so natural
just one more dance to get me through the night
you could say anything
you're just so smooth
dresed to kill sweetheart
you're well aware
you could have anyone
can I have this dance
right now
girl I'm shaking in my shoes
I can't get away from you
while you're moving on the dance floor
I'm begging you for more
and take my hand
and we can shake it all night long
our bodies roll so natural
if only I can talk to you
so run your fingers through your hair
I'm only human I can't help it
you're my worst addiction
i need a hit a taste a midnight fix
so run your fingers through your hair
I'm only human I can't help it
you're my worst addiction
I need a hit a taste a midnight...
oh how you move
you could say anything
you're just so smooth
dresed to kill sweetheart
girl I'm shakin in my shoes
I can't get away from you
while you're moving on the dance floor
I'm begging you for more
and take my hand
and we can shake it all night long
our bodies roll so natural
just one more dance to get me through the night

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/
