This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in our laces
Heart it races
And we go back to where we moved out to the places
Heart it races
I bought it in a can and stirred it with my fingers singing
(Boom dah dah dah dah dah)
(Boom dah dah dah dah)
Threw it out the window
Lately you been tanned, suspicious for the winter with your
(Boom dah dah dah dah dah)
(Boom dah dah dah dah)
Legs like little splinters
Legs like little splinters
And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in the laces
Heart it races
And we go back to where we moved out to the places
Heart it races
I sold it to a man and threw him out that window
He went
(Boom dah dah dah dah dah)
(Boom dah dah dah dah)
Made his wife a widow
Ah, ah ah ah
(Made his wife a widow)
Ah, ah ah ah (heart it races, so long)
(Heart it races, so long)
(Heart it races, so long)
(Heart it races, so long)
(Heart it races, so long)
(Heart it races, so long)
(Heart it races, so long)

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/
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.
My ex posted this on his FB wall shortly after our breakup, heh, (never heard of it before then) and I'm pretty sure we were both in love (long distance brought too much pressure, though). So I'm interpreting the lyrics through that lens, if you will, but...
I look at this as a song about reflection, depression, giving up and jealousy, I suppose, among other things:
"And we're slow to acknowledge the knots in our laces, Heart it races."
People don't realize the mistakes they've made until it's (seemingly) too late--a realization that stirs his heart (though not enough to inspire action, revealed later on).
"And we go back to where we moved out to the places, Heart it races."
He (the narrator) goes back to reminisce on his former relationship with a girl he loved, which also stirs his heart. Could even be in his car physically revisiting places he went to with his ex.
"I bought it in a can and stirred it with my fingers Singin'... Threw it out the window."
Maybe he's literally eating or drinking something specific (yet unmentioned) from a can--a particular delight he once shared with his ex--but it no longer holds the same appeal and lacks taste. Could be an obscure reference to something else, though.
"Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter, With your... Legs like little splinters."
It's obvious to him now (since he's apparently stalking now, haha) that his ex has been out and about since they've went their separate ways, moving forward with her life. Maybe she's even grown more physically fit and he's jealous of her new form, heh.
"I sold it to a man and threw him out that window, He went... Made his wife a widow."
He could be imagining himself "selling" the canned drink/food to the guy he assumes his ex is now married to (though he hasn't seen this man yet) and is using the figure of speech "threw him out the window" as what he'd like to do to the lucky guy (get rid of him), leaving his (assumed-to-be) married ex a widow out of spite.
"Heart it races alone..."
Now he's, well, alone--bitterly stalking his ex in his car because of his own mistake: not going after her and fighting for what they once had. (That's the real tragedy, I think.)
But, in his twisted mind, so is she now (alone).
You mad much, bro?

Also, I went and listened to the original...and I definitely prefer this one much more. (Maybe because its chill, kind of "que sera sera" mood reminds me of my ex's own very chill, sometimes "que sera sera" vibe and attitude about life? le sigh Bless his soul...)
