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.
It's been a long
Time alone
I feel the change
Like seasons change
I feel the need to let you know
I'm ready for lovin' girl and I really want to let you know
And if you
Feel it too
Then maybe we
Could possibly
Open our hearts and give it a try
[Chorus:]
I need to know
If this love is even possible
We've tried it once before
But damn I let you go
Back then we couldn't be
But I hope that you can see
I've grown and changed
And I know I'm ready for love.
I was thinking we
Could start again
'Cause I want you back
And I can't pretend
And if you believe in loving me
I need to know.
I'm not trying to say things are perfect
But I know this one thing's worth it
That's keeping you here right beside me
'Cause I need to know
[Chorus]
I need to know
If you feel what I'm feeling
Only heaven knows
Knows how much
We've been through
But I know that I'm missing you (you know its true)
Whatever we've been through
'Cause I've been missing you
No matter, we've gone through
Still down to ride with you
Do you still love me like you used to?
[Repeat]
[Chorus x 3]
I really want to let you know
That I never want to let you go
'Cause I'm ready for love
Been ready for love
For you girl, you know I want you so bad
I know it's love, and I know you know.
I've grown and changed.
Time alone
I feel the change
Like seasons change
I feel the need to let you know
I'm ready for lovin' girl and I really want to let you know
And if you
Feel it too
Then maybe we
Could possibly
Open our hearts and give it a try
[Chorus:]
I need to know
If this love is even possible
We've tried it once before
But damn I let you go
Back then we couldn't be
But I hope that you can see
I've grown and changed
And I know I'm ready for love.
I was thinking we
Could start again
'Cause I want you back
And I can't pretend
And if you believe in loving me
I need to know.
I'm not trying to say things are perfect
But I know this one thing's worth it
That's keeping you here right beside me
'Cause I need to know
[Chorus]
I need to know
If you feel what I'm feeling
Only heaven knows
Knows how much
We've been through
But I know that I'm missing you (you know its true)
Whatever we've been through
'Cause I've been missing you
No matter, we've gone through
Still down to ride with you
Do you still love me like you used to?
[Repeat]
[Chorus x 3]
I really want to let you know
That I never want to let you go
'Cause I'm ready for love
Been ready for love
For you girl, you know I want you so bad
I know it's love, and I know you know.
I've grown and changed.

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/
