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.
I know you know my boyfriend is out of town
So have a drink, let's talk it over
So many things I shouldn't be sayin' now
You know I like my boys a little bit older
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight. tonight, tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
All my girls are nowhere to be found
They all split when I'm in trouble
But I'll tell you all my secrets if you stick around
The 'undercover-lovers' under the covers
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight. tonight, tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e
I just wanna use your l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e
I just wanna use your l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e
try to keep my head from spinning
Too much to drink, not making sense
Been a while since I've been with someone new
But I can't stop the way I'm feeling
As you leave please would you just close the door
Now that our love affair is over
You're exactly what I was looking for
We'll go find a shoulder to cry upon
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
(You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all
I think I'm done fuck'n singing this song
I think I'm done fuck'n singing this song
I think I'm done fuck'n singing this song
Singing this song, song, song song
So have a drink, let's talk it over
So many things I shouldn't be sayin' now
You know I like my boys a little bit older
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight. tonight, tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
All my girls are nowhere to be found
They all split when I'm in trouble
But I'll tell you all my secrets if you stick around
The 'undercover-lovers' under the covers
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight. tonight, tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e
I just wanna use your l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e
I just wanna use your l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e
try to keep my head from spinning
Too much to drink, not making sense
Been a while since I've been with someone new
But I can't stop the way I'm feeling

Now that our love affair is over
You're exactly what I was looking for
We'll go find a shoulder to cry upon
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
(You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all
I think I'm done fuck'n singing this song
I think I'm done fuck'n singing this song
I think I'm done fuck'n singing this song
Singing this song, song, song 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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I love this cover.
