The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Saw the washing on the line
As I lay on the floor
With a heart full of wine
With nothing left to pour
To pour
Silver moon feeling high
Through the window beneath the door
Her eyes are so kind
With nothing left to pour
To pour
You stepped into these days
You stepped into these days
You stepped into these days
You stepped into these days
And you went your way
We're sitting out on the couch
A movie plays without the sound
Words to say left in my mouth
With nothing left to pour
To pour
Silver moon feeling high
Through the window beneath the door
Her eyes are so kind
With nothing left to pour
To pour
You stepped into these days
You stepped into these days
You stepped into these days
You stepped into these days
Oh you stepped into
Oh you stepped into
One of these days
As I lay on the floor
With a heart full of wine
With nothing left to pour
To pour
Silver moon feeling high
Through the window beneath the door
Her eyes are so kind
With nothing left to pour
To pour
You stepped into these days
You stepped into these days
You stepped into these days
You stepped into these days
And you went your way
We're sitting out on the couch
A movie plays without the sound
Words to say left in my mouth
With nothing left to pour
To pour
Silver moon feeling high
Through the window beneath the door
Her eyes are so kind
With nothing left to pour
To pour
You stepped into these days
You stepped into these days
You stepped into these days
You stepped into these days
Oh you stepped into
Oh you stepped into
One of these days

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/
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.
i think this song is about wanting to share things in a relationship but not having the desire to anymore, but they still kinda stick around to see what will happen. hmm im not sure, i do know that i love angus and julia stone, their lyrics are always awesome to read.
