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.
Naki nemuru ansoku no chi yume wo miru junketsushu
Itsuka mita kono basho sae imadewa mou waratte irareru
Nandomo toikakete wa nandomo yobikakete wa
Jibun no yowasa ni kagi wo kaketa
Kono te ni furete hoshii kono me wo mite hoshii
Sonzai no yume sae wakaranakunaru
Sora kara maiochiru kimi no hakanaki negai wa haruka
Ikoku no tami e todoku deshou towa no nemuri no naka de
Kono mama kazari sugita hibi no yowasa wo ima mo daita mama
Kimi wo sagashiteiru
Kore ijou kodoku ni taekirenai kimi ni aitai yo aitai yo
Furitsuzuku yuki ni oboreteita
Nee [kimi] wa ima doko de dare ni inori kaketemasuka?
Hakanaki negai wa yagate osanaki boku no tenohira de
Namida no you ni koboreochi kagayaku takara mono to natta
Eien to iu na no akari wo keshite watashi wa koko ni iru
Seinaru yoru no hibiki todoita no kana?
Imasara kizuku boku wa baka da ne
Kimi ni aitai yo... aitai yo
Kore ijou kodoku ni taekirenai kimi ni aitai yo aitai yo
Furitsuzuku yuki ni oboreteita

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'

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/
