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.

You sure you wanna be with me I've nothing to give
Don't lie and say this lovin's best
Don't leave us in emotional place
Take a walk take a rest now take a rest
I seen ya diggin a hole in ya neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy
No need to live in a lean-to
Your troubles must be see-through
See through money like it's paper
With faces I remember
I drink on a daily basis though it seldom calms my temper
Ya leave me in peace, ya leave me in pieces
I walking through the suburbs
We're not exactly lovers
Your a couple specially
When your body's double
Duplicate and then you wait for the next kuwait
So karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Deflowering my baby are you my baby mate
I must be crazy you see I'm swayze
You diggin a hole in ya neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy must be lazy
I seen ya
The fire that rises in me
The daisy ? ? ? dwindle
? ? ? like a jungle in decline
My time has been so wasteful
I never fight time
Deflowering my baby are you my baby mate
My baby
Deflowering my baby are you my baby mate
I must be crazy I know you're lazy
So karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma what jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma what jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma what jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma what jamaica an' roma
You sure you wanna be with me I've nothing to give
Don't lie and say this lovin's best
Don't leave us in emotional place
Take a walk take a rest now take a rest
I seen ya diggin a hole in ya neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy
No need to live in a lean-to
Your troubles must be see-through
See through money like it's paper
With faces I remember
I drink on a daily basis though it seldom calms my temper
Ya leave me in peace, ya leave me in pieces
I walking through the suburbs
We're not exactly lovers
Your a couple specially
When your body's double
Duplicate and then you wait for the next kuwait
So karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Deflowering my baby are you my baby mate
I must be crazy you see I'm swayze
You diggin a hole in ya neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy must be lazy

The fire that rises in me
The daisy ? ? ? dwindle
? ? ? like a jungle in decline
My time has been so wasteful
I never fight time
Deflowering my baby are you my baby mate
My baby
Deflowering my baby are you my baby mate
I must be crazy I know you're lazy
So karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma

Karmacoma what jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma what jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma what jamaica an' roma

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/
