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”
Hold onto me
Like we're the only one that see
The sky above us falling down
And breathe in my ear
Like we're the only one to hear
The mountains crashing down
I have wasted most of my life
Playing games that I knew I'd lose
But let me sing to you
Just sit here don't move
I just want to waste some time with you
So take my hand
I don't understand
How they kept us apart for so long
And smile so I can see
That it's really you in front of me
'Cause that's still so hard to believe
I have wasted most of my life
Playing games that I knew I'd lose
Let me sing to you
Just sit here don't move
I just want to waste some time with you
Forcing back the tears
Over all the years
Boarding up the door
Throw my hope to the floor
I could not forget now it all makes sense
That your here with me
And I never ever want to leave
I would have wasted most of my life
Never even though with you
Now you sing to me and I still don't believe
That you wanna waste some time with me
Let me sing to you
Just sit here don't move
I just wanna waste some time with you
And now you sing to me and I still don't believe
That you wanna waste some time with me
Like we're the only one that see
The sky above us falling down
And breathe in my ear
Like we're the only one to hear
The mountains crashing down
I have wasted most of my life
Playing games that I knew I'd lose
But let me sing to you
Just sit here don't move
I just want to waste some time with you
So take my hand
I don't understand
How they kept us apart for so long
And smile so I can see
That it's really you in front of me
'Cause that's still so hard to believe
I have wasted most of my life
Playing games that I knew I'd lose
Let me sing to you
Just sit here don't move
I just want to waste some time with you
Forcing back the tears
Over all the years
Boarding up the door
Throw my hope to the floor
I could not forget now it all makes sense
That your here with me
And I never ever want to leave
I would have wasted most of my life
Never even though with you
Now you sing to me and I still don't believe
That you wanna waste some time with me
Let me sing to you
Just sit here don't move
I just wanna waste some time with you
And now you sing to me and I still don't believe
That you wanna waste some time with me

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 song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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/

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.
The meaning of this song is pretty obvious, and I believe the only reason I am the first to comment (as far as the song meanings app shows) is because Saint Astonia is a somewhat newly formed band. This song is all about a guy that has found a girl that he has fallen in love with. Potentially one he plans to marry or is just madly in love with. Because he was the lead songwriter in 3DG, I assume Gontier wrote this song for a girlfriend or wife (I have no idea if he's married or not) In the song, he talks about never wanting to leave and wanting to waste time with you (whoever he wrote the song to/about) I feel like the song is very self explanatory. I'm glad that Adam is making music again, and I hope that this band can become as widely known as Three Days Grace
