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.
dont worry bout one thing
dont worry bout nothing
she said
im not gonna let this one go
nobody on my side
nobody seems to see
how much
how deep
how far these things could be
my eyes are dry and I...
my eyes are dry and
I.. I
still don't even know you
I.. I
still wish that I could hold you
I..I
I sometimes wanna die
and everywhere i go
and everyone i see
somehow
almost sets me free
and the space where me meet
is different from the rest
and i just cant seem to forget that
my eyes are dry and..
i..i
still dont even kno you..
i..i.
still wish that i could hold you
i..i
i sometimes wanna die
i sometiems wanna die
i sometiems wanna...
and you were at the start
and now u are the end
and u left me with nothing to defend
i need the voice of a good friend
can't stop myself from laughing
no matter how sad these things can be
these things can be...
my eyes are bright and..
i..i
still dont even kno you..
i..i.
still wish that i could hold you
i..i
still dont even kno you..
i sometimes wanna die
i sometiems wanna die
i sometimes wanna die
i sometimes wanna die
i sometiems wanna die
i sometiems wanna die
i sometimes wanna die
i sometiems wanna die
i sometimes wanna die
i sometiems wanna die
dont worry bout nothing
she said
im not gonna let this one go
nobody on my side
nobody seems to see
how much
how deep
how far these things could be
my eyes are dry and I...
my eyes are dry and
I.. I
still don't even know you
I.. I
still wish that I could hold you
I..I
I sometimes wanna die
and everywhere i go
and everyone i see
somehow
almost sets me free
and the space where me meet
is different from the rest
and i just cant seem to forget that
my eyes are dry and..
i..i

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'
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I love her voice.
