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.
(Olivia Newton-john/John Capek)
As a young girl I came here by the sea
To a new home for my family
It welcome us with open arms
A chance to live my dream
And there's no place that I'd rather be
Yes-It's always Australia for me
As the years went on I moved far away
And I always said I'd come back some day
I think about it all the time
My friends all here me say
That there's no place that I'd rather be
Yes-It's always Australia for me
Live-Love knowing that we're all free
Know that we are blessed in our country
And realize how lucky we are
Safe beneath our southern star
And there's no place that I'd rather be
Yes-It's always Australia for me
Live-Love knowing that we're all free
Know that we are blessed in our country
And realize how lucky we are
Safe beneath our southern star
And there's no place in the world I'd rather be
Happy birthday to Aussie from me
As a young girl I came here by the sea
To a new home for my family
It welcome us with open arms
A chance to live my dream
And there's no place that I'd rather be
Yes-It's always Australia for me
As the years went on I moved far away
And I always said I'd come back some day
I think about it all the time
My friends all here me say
That there's no place that I'd rather be
Yes-It's always Australia for me
Live-Love knowing that we're all free
Know that we are blessed in our country
And realize how lucky we are
Safe beneath our southern star
And there's no place that I'd rather be
Yes-It's always Australia for me
Live-Love knowing that we're all free
Know that we are blessed in our country
And realize how lucky we are
Safe beneath our southern star
And there's no place in the world I'd rather be
Happy birthday to Aussie from me

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/
