I've seen his face before
And I wonder what it means
Three lonely figures standing at my door
And one he spoke to me
With a letter from my home
And a fever in his eyes
A chill went through my bones
And I bid my host goodbye
He gave me no reply
And I never looked behind
You've gotta get us home right now
There's no comfort in the cradle where we sleep
It's a land of dark and wide
It won't let us survive for free
I made my way on trains
Through the brick and the lanes
Where the burnt wrecks lay dead on the plains
And it leaves your heart the same
But it must be in disguise
If in this distance is my prize
Oh, out here sometimes it can play a cruel trick on the mind
It's playing one on mine
Such a cruel trick on the mind
You've gotta get us home right now
There's no comfort in the cradle where we sleep
It's a land of dark and wide
It won't let us survive for free
You've gotta get us home
You've gotta lay it in stone
And I wonder what it means
Three lonely figures standing at my door
And one he spoke to me
With a letter from my home
And a fever in his eyes
A chill went through my bones
And I bid my host goodbye
He gave me no reply
And I never looked behind
You've gotta get us home right now
There's no comfort in the cradle where we sleep
It's a land of dark and wide
It won't let us survive for free
I made my way on trains
Through the brick and the lanes
Where the burnt wrecks lay dead on the plains
And it leaves your heart the same
But it must be in disguise
If in this distance is my prize
Oh, out here sometimes it can play a cruel trick on the mind
It's playing one on mine
Such a cruel trick on the mind
You've gotta get us home right now
There's no comfort in the cradle where we sleep
It's a land of dark and wide
It won't let us survive for free
You've gotta get us home
You've gotta lay it in stone

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”
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page

Ed Sheeran
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.
