Fly away with me
Three thousand miles
To a place that I
Went to live

In a time that we
Can face the dark
In a time that I
Forgive

British light(?) shines down
A thousand times
Across the bay and the mines
I swam

You lived and loved
In a faraway town
Now we're here for good
So let's live

Hold on to me, baby
Always let me feel
Slip into the water
Fall into the shore
Find diverse in cities(?)
You got me
I will always save you
For holding on

Drive away with me
Through the winding hills
Look across the bay
To the sea

Feel the wind blow
Like times before
Wallow thoughts of wine
With me

Hold on to me, baby
Always let me feel
Slip into the water
Fall into the shore
Find diverse in cities
You got me
I will always save you
For holding on

    My Interpretation

    I think it's "Bridge lights" considering he mentions the bay next, and that makes more sense than "British".

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'
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/
