This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Woo
Ow, yeah
Settle down
She's got legs like an airship
She's got an ass like a coal tip
She's got tits just like hot air balloons, and I mean the Hindenburg
She's the biggest girl but I'm gonna get there soon
Yeah, you know what I mean
She's got love when you want it, but she never lets go when you get it
You disappear inside, you're never seen again, lost forever
She's the biggest girl of all but I'm gonna get there soon
Alright, here we go
Should be some kind of guitar solo here
Well I met her in a bar, she was propping up the wall
I don't think she was available, she was made a conference stall
I met her in a bar, she was, she was propping up the wall
In fact, she was nailed to it
I gotta admit, I'm rushin', babe, let's get down to it, baby
She had a brain like a sheep-dip
She got love like a cesspit on her mind
She was a big girl, she was big
And I mean she was big, she was fucking huge
Enormous
You could have sailed the Hindenburg through her legs
And never even have landing permission
One more
Oh, we sailed across the ocean you and me
I looked like a flea on the back of a sperm whale
Oh yeah, I was waving a match inside the Albert Hall
Ow, yeah
Settle down
She's got legs like an airship
She's got an ass like a coal tip
She's got tits just like hot air balloons, and I mean the Hindenburg
She's the biggest girl but I'm gonna get there soon
Yeah, you know what I mean
She's got love when you want it, but she never lets go when you get it
You disappear inside, you're never seen again, lost forever
She's the biggest girl of all but I'm gonna get there soon
Alright, here we go
Should be some kind of guitar solo here
Well I met her in a bar, she was propping up the wall

I gotta admit, I'm rushin', babe, let's get down to it, baby

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Self explanatory this one. The idea of big girls or bbw's (relatively new expression for big beautiful women) generally being nymphomanics - more insatiable & a lot more grateful than ordinary sized girls. In my experience very true!
LOL don't remember how I came upon this song, it was hard to believe it was IM at first. It was fuckin hilarious.
