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.
I’ve had it up to here (now you know)
your stealing and cheating and all your lies
No more chances for you (no no no)
No more chances for you (no no no)
So I follow you around - Not a word from you
you can even hear my heart break
No more lovesongs for you
No more songs at all for you
One day you’ll be alone
And where will I be then – I’ll be gone
I am not invisible, I’m not blind
Everybody can see me cry
Everyone but you (oh oh oh)
everyone but you (no no no)
And so I follow you around - You are laughing now
But I’ll be laughing too (before you know) – and you know
No more lovesongs for you
No more songs at all for you
One day you’ll be alone
And that’s when I’ll be gone – I’ll be gone
No more love songs for you
This is the last time I’ll say
that I ever loved you
But this is the last time I swear
One day you’ll be alone
And there will be no songs for you (no no no)
And there will be no songs for you (no no no no no no)
your stealing and cheating and all your lies
No more chances for you (no no no)
No more chances for you (no no no)
So I follow you around - Not a word from you
you can even hear my heart break
No more lovesongs for you
No more songs at all for you
One day you’ll be alone
And where will I be then – I’ll be gone
I am not invisible, I’m not blind
Everybody can see me cry
Everyone but you (oh oh oh)
everyone but you (no no no)
And so I follow you around - You are laughing now
But I’ll be laughing too (before you know) – and you know
No more lovesongs for you
No more songs at all for you
One day you’ll be alone
And that’s when I’ll be gone – I’ll be gone
No more love songs for you
This is the last time I’ll say
that I ever loved you
But this is the last time I swear
One day you’ll be alone
And there will be no songs for you (no no no)
And there will be no songs for you (no no no no no no)

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
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.
