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 hurts to lose someone
love is no fun
but everyone keeps telling me it gets better
wait and see
how much longer will i have to wait?
if i give up, will you still try?
and if i just stop, will you ask why?
if i just can't take anymore, will you just close the door?
it hurts to be alone
it will but then it won't
but everyone keeps telling me she'll come back
just wait and see
how much longer will i have to wait?
if i give up, will you still try?
and if i just stop, will you ask why?
if i just can't take anymore, will you just close the door?
when i see you in July
i'll try not to break down and cry
it will be hard to let go
of something that i didn't know
of something that i didn't know
if you want it, come and get it
it's all for you
don't deny it, you won't regret it
love's made for two
if you want it, come and get it
it's all for you
don't deny it, you won't regret it
love's made for two
if i give up, will you still try?
and if i just stop, will you ask why?
if i just can't take anymore, will you just close the door?
if i give up, will you still?
if i just stop, will you ask me?
if i just can't take anymore, will you just close the door?
it hurts to be alone
it will but then it won't
love is no fun
but everyone keeps telling me it gets better
wait and see
how much longer will i have to wait?
if i give up, will you still try?
and if i just stop, will you ask why?
if i just can't take anymore, will you just close the door?

it hurts to be alone
it will but then it won't

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
wow this is a pretty good song. I think it means that this guy is going to break up with a girl because he really likes her but she doesn't seem to or to pay much attention or care. He hates to because he really likes her but he knows there's something better out there. Just my oppinion, its a tough song to translate
