This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
One by one, doing the crime
Never thought twice, never did time
Never turn back, never go home
Never get used to being alone
One by one, into the sea
Too many eyes are staring at me
Two by two, watch as they go
Who are you and what do you know
I got your heart in hand
Never let go
Make it
Take it
Never let go
Tell all you know
This is what you make it, pound the ground
Make it
Take it
Never let go
Tell all you know
How far can you take it as you go... Ironbound
Two by two, iron to bend
Keeping the oath, right to the end
Three by three, breaking some bones
Snapping some neck, never alone
Here they come, rumble and pound
Never get used to hearing that sound
There they go, fast as they came
Never go back, never the same
All my friends are green and black
All my friends are right
All my friends are automatic
They all rule the night
All my friends are think and thin
They've loyalty and heart
Said all of them are green and black
Everyone is right
All my friends are automatic
Born to rule the night
Never thought twice, never did time
Never turn back, never go home
Never get used to being alone
One by one, into the sea
Too many eyes are staring at me
Two by two, watch as they go
Who are you and what do you know
I got your heart in hand
Never let go
Make it
Take it
Never let go
Tell all you know
This is what you make it, pound the ground
Make it
Take it
Never let go
Tell all you know
How far can you take it as you go... Ironbound
Two by two, iron to bend
Keeping the oath, right to the end
Three by three, breaking some bones
Snapping some neck, never alone
Here they come, rumble and pound
Never get used to hearing that sound
There they go, fast as they came
Never go back, never the same
All my friends are green and black
All my friends are right
All my friends are automatic
They all rule the night
All my friends are think and thin
They've loyalty and heart
Said all of them are green and black
Everyone is right
All my friends are automatic
Born to rule the night

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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think this is about having friends that are like you, loyal, caring and tough. Your missing a part of the song to. After "They've loyalty and heart" There is "my friends put me back together when I fall apart"
