This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
And so we get in the car,
And drive across the city,
Someplace we've all been before
Hoping for something good
We walk up to the door
The bouncer pats us down
He doesn't notice the knife
And then we're hit with the sound
Where did these assholes come from ?
And when they look around,
Are they as sick as I am ?
Or are they filled with joy I've never found ?
The music's loud enough to keep my mind from thinking
I'm in my own little world,
Kill time untill it's time to go
(Electronic voice)
The whole ride home i'm only waiting to set foot inside my room,
The only place where i'm the only one who dissapoints me.
(Normal voices, electronic voice still in background)
The whole ride home i'm only waiting to set foot inside my room,
The only place where i'm the only one who dissapoints me.

Just A Little Lovin'

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.
The last two lines just go around in my head over and over, I end up singing them to myself =/
