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.
If I could grant you one wish
I wish you could see the way you kiss
Ooh, I love watching you baby
When you're driving me, ooh crazy
Ooh, I love the way you (you laugh and breath)
Love the way you love me (and smile when you touch me)
There's nowhere else I'd rather be (drives me wild)
Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me (I melt and spin and fall again)
I only wish that you could see the way you love me (love me)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa the way you love me
It's not right
It's not fair
What you're missing over there
Someday I'll find a way to show you
Just how lucky I am to know you
Ooh, I love the way you (you laugh and breath)
Love the way you love me (and smile when you touch me)
There's nowhere else I'd rather be (drives me wild)
Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me
I only wish that you could see the way you love me (love me)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa the way you love me
You're the million reasons why
There's love reflecting in my eyes
Ooh, I love the way you (you laugh and breath)
Love the way you love me (and smile when you touch me)
There's nowhere else I'd rather be (drives me wild)
Ooh to feel the way I feel with your arms around me (I melt and spin and fall again)
I only wish that you could see the way you love me (love me)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa the way you love me (love me)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa the way you love me (love me)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa the way you love me
Oh, the way you love me
Ooh, I love the way you love me
The way you love me
Ooh, I love the way you love me
Oh yeah
Ooh, I love the way you love me
Ooh
Yeah
I wish you could see the way you kiss
Ooh, I love watching you baby
When you're driving me, ooh crazy
Ooh, I love the way you (you laugh and breath)
Love the way you love me (and smile when you touch me)
There's nowhere else I'd rather be (drives me wild)
Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me (I melt and spin and fall again)
I only wish that you could see the way you love me (love me)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa the way you love me
It's not right
It's not fair
What you're missing over there
Someday I'll find a way to show you
Just how lucky I am to know you
Ooh, I love the way you (you laugh and breath)
Love the way you love me (and smile when you touch me)
There's nowhere else I'd rather be (drives me wild)
Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me
I only wish that you could see the way you love me (love me)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa the way you love me

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa the way you love me (love me)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa the way you love me (love me)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa the way you love me
Oh, the way you love me
Ooh, I love the way you love me
The way you love me
Ooh, I love the way you love me

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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'

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/

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.
