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.
Beep, beep on
Now there goes my phone
And once again
I'm just hoping it's a text from you
It ain't right
Read your messages twice, thrice, four times a night it's true
Everyday I patiently wait
Feeling like a fool but I do anyway
Nothing can feel as sweet and as real
Cause no way I would've waited in pain
[Chorus]
And maybe it's true I'm caught up on you
Maybe there's a chance you're stuck on me too
Maybe I'm wrong it's all in my head
Maybe we're afraid of words we both hadn't said
I'm always connected online
Turn facebook all the time
Hoping you've checked my profile
Just can't help wondering why you play it cool
But sometimes I'm hopelessly falling for you
Every night on the phone and I
In love with you and I know that you like it girl
All joking inside lets see you and I
Come out and say what you're trying to hide
[Chorus]
Like I really want you
I think I need you
Maybe I miss you
I'm thinking of you
Like I really want you
I think I need you
Maybe I miss you
I'm thinking of you
[Chorus]
Now there goes my phone
And once again
I'm just hoping it's a text from you
It ain't right
Read your messages twice, thrice, four times a night it's true
Everyday I patiently wait
Feeling like a fool but I do anyway
Nothing can feel as sweet and as real
Cause no way I would've waited in pain
[Chorus]
And maybe it's true I'm caught up on you
Maybe there's a chance you're stuck on me too
Maybe I'm wrong it's all in my head
Maybe we're afraid of words we both hadn't said
I'm always connected online
Turn facebook all the time
Hoping you've checked my profile
Just can't help wondering why you play it cool
But sometimes I'm hopelessly falling for you
Every night on the phone and I
In love with you and I know that you like it girl
All joking inside lets see you and I
Come out and say what you're trying to hide
[Chorus]
Like I really want you
I think I need you
Maybe I miss you
I'm thinking of you
Like I really want you
I think I need you
Maybe I miss you
I'm thinking of you
[Chorus]

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”
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
thanks for putting the lyrics up.. though in the first version he said : MYSPACE and instead of facebook.. it sounded way better in my opinion.
