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.
The love the love is
Bigger
The love the love is
Bigger
The love the love is
Bigger
Big
Gotta believe in me
Believe me like a fairytale
Put your tooth under your pillowcase
And know I won't I won't
Ever ever let you down (no)
Like a seesaw let you down (oh)
You know why
'Cause we ain't in the playground no more baby
We're big enough
To stand in the picture
We're big enough
To stand next to love
I was a player
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they look so small from up here
'Cause we're bigger
And love's bigger
I'm bigger and you're bigger
Whoa oh
Remember when my heart was young
You were still bigger than me
Is that the reason that you stayed
Most would've got rid of me
Now the bully's in the school yard
Can't take our hugs and our kisses from us
Because we ain't pushovers no more baby
We're big enough
To stand in the picture
We're big enough
To stand next to love
I was a player
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they look so small from up here
'Cause we're bigger
And love's bigger
I'm bigger and you're bigger
I was a player
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they look so small from up here
'Cause we're bigger
And love's bigger
I'm bigger and you're bigger
(Remember those stroll down street) I remember that
(Don't like Edle Lane?) Like yesterday
(They shine on me) We were little then
(In class I dreamed about you) My baby
You wow wow (You wow wow)
Since then all I can remember is the love only got bigger
I was a player
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they look so small from up here
'Cause we're bigger
And love's bigger
I'm bigger and you're bigger
I was a player
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
When I was little
But now I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they look so small from up here
'Cause we're bigger
And love's bigger
I'm bigger and you're bigger
Oh
Bigger
The love the love is
Bigger
The love the love is
Bigger

Gotta believe in me
Believe me like a fairytale
Put your tooth under your pillowcase

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
