See it from the outside
Running toward the wall
Seeing from your blinds eye
But you don't know me at all
I've been here
Too many times before
And your tears don't mean a thing
I only come when you scream
I told you
[Chorus]
Just don't follow me home
You're just to perfect for my hands to hold
If you choose to stay you'll throw it all away
And I just want to take your innocence
This is what you wanted
Did I make your dreams come true
Sitting in a corner
Wondering what you got into
You ache for this
You don't understand
That your tears don't mean a thing
And I only come when you scream
I told you
[Chorus]
There's no such thing as fate
Only yourself to blame
You never walked away
I told you
[Chorus: x2]
And I just want to take your innocence
I just want to take
Running toward the wall
Seeing from your blinds eye
But you don't know me at all
I've been here
Too many times before
And your tears don't mean a thing
I only come when you scream
I told you
[Chorus]
Just don't follow me home
You're just to perfect for my hands to hold
If you choose to stay you'll throw it all away
And I just want to take your innocence
This is what you wanted
Did I make your dreams come true
Sitting in a corner
Wondering what you got into
You ache for this
You don't understand
That your tears don't mean a thing
And I only come when you scream
I told you
[Chorus]
There's no such thing as fate
Only yourself to blame
You never walked away
I told you
[Chorus: x2]
And I just want to take your innocence
I just want to take

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/
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
It may have been "just" when it was written, but it is DEFINITELY "Child" on the album.
It is about a relationship that should not have happened. About temptation if you will. Knowing that is "child", I take it mean a teenage girl/boy who has become infatuated with an older man/woman. Basically telling him/her that if you choose to pursue me, I am only going to be with you for one thing, your innocence (virginity possibly or just for sex)
It also could be reversed with a man/woman already in a serious relationship getting involved with someone single. "If you choose to stay, you'll throw it all away", meaning your are going to wreck your relationship to be with me.
Saw them just a few weeks ago in Orlando. Very good show.
