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.
Greatness + Greatness = Great Greatness
Hey, Hey, Hey
The way we get loose
We move our shoulders
Forward
Heads back
Get it in control
Like Janet Jack
Get it on da flow
Let 'em kno whats happenin'
L.I.L You better ask somebody
I been on my grind since butt-touch-potty
Y'all don't really want it wit the Yung God Toddla
Wit a flow so spec like technolotta
It's, so sick
How da clock go tick
Keep given ya'll hit like techmatic uh!
Its the reason why I spit it
How I spit
When I spit its like mucus
Gotta get rid of it
These chicks don't pop like me
Uncompatible girl
No comparing me
And!
Ain't none of y'all scarin' me
Like don't cha wish ya girl was as bad as me yeah!!
Wit a flow so sick like Twista's
So sweet
It can be cold like a Mystic
Instincts come so smooth
Like what is it?
BK-H-Dub ours like a wizard
(Chorus)
Shawty get loose!
Baby do what chu do
Lemme see ya let down your hair

Hit da dance flow and act like there's nobody else in hurr

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/
