Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
The sun shined on our face
Our imaginations took us to any place
At the end of that altered road
Where we all stop running
We were living without no plans
There was never a doubt that some day
One of us might shake hands with the devil
The other would not break free
What if we were young again, yeah
When all of the was just pretending
Everybody wants to move on, whoa
To a brand new thing
That doesn't mean that much to me
Everybody's singing along
To the song the other is singing, yeah
Because it's a brand new thing
The sun went by so fast
Caught up in something we thought would last
The hope grows cold
But the fire's still burning
Thinking about that time
Of giving up everything that was mine
I know that something tells me the end is near
What if we could start again, yeah
When all of this was just beginning
Everybody wants to move on, whoa
To a brand new thing
That doesn't mean that much to me
Everybody's singing along
To the song the other is singing, yeah
Because it's a brand new thing
We don't know
They will follow
They just know
They will follow
They just know
They will follow
Everybody wants to move on, whoa
To a brand new thing
That doesn't mean that much to me
Everybody's singing along
To the song the other is singing, yeah
Because it's a brand new thing
Everybody wants to move on, whoa (Everybody wants to move one)
Everybody's singing along (Everybody wants to move on)
Everybody wants to move on, whoa (Everybody wants to move one)
Everybody's singing along (Everybody wants to move on)
Our imaginations took us to any place
At the end of that altered road
Where we all stop running
We were living without no plans
There was never a doubt that some day
One of us might shake hands with the devil
The other would not break free
What if we were young again, yeah
When all of the was just pretending
Everybody wants to move on, whoa
To a brand new thing
That doesn't mean that much to me
Everybody's singing along
To the song the other is singing, yeah
Because it's a brand new thing
The sun went by so fast
Caught up in something we thought would last
The hope grows cold
But the fire's still burning
Thinking about that time
Of giving up everything that was mine
I know that something tells me the end is near
What if we could start again, yeah
When all of this was just beginning
Everybody wants to move on, whoa
To a brand new thing
That doesn't mean that much to me
Everybody's singing along
To the song the other is singing, yeah
Because it's a brand new thing
We don't know
They will follow
They just know
They will follow
They just know
They will follow
Everybody wants to move on, whoa
To a brand new thing
That doesn't mean that much to me
Everybody's singing along
To the song the other is singing, yeah
Because it's a brand new thing
Everybody wants to move on, whoa (Everybody wants to move one)
Everybody's singing along (Everybody wants to move on)
Everybody wants to move on, whoa (Everybody wants to move one)
Everybody's singing along (Everybody wants to move on)

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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/
