This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I woke up half an hour ago
I don't remember much and I'm feeling slow
I don't know how but I know I lost all my friends
Every time I see you now you're picking a fight
I know I must have said nothing right
Do you think that this is going to make a change
Do you want to fight me? Hand to hand
Do you want to fight me? Now's your chance
Can you tell me why I'm so objectionable
Is it personality or just my smell
When you look like fighting I look sick
Is it a disorder a doctor can fix
or are you just a violent mother fucking son of a bitch
When you put me to the floor you know I'll get back up again
Do you want to fight me? Now's the time
Do you want to fight me? Stand in line
It's obvious it's too late to make it right
Talking sense to you is going to take all night
I'm going to get a beating unless I make a plan
I know you want a piece, sorry I'm so slow
One more bevy I'll be ready to go
And run faster than I've ever run before
I don't remember much and I'm feeling slow
I don't know how but I know I lost all my friends
Every time I see you now you're picking a fight
I know I must have said nothing right
Do you think that this is going to make a change
Do you want to fight me? Hand to hand
Do you want to fight me? Now's your chance
Can you tell me why I'm so objectionable
Is it personality or just my smell
When you look like fighting I look sick
Is it a disorder a doctor can fix
or are you just a violent mother fucking son of a bitch
When you put me to the floor you know I'll get back up again
Do you want to fight me? Now's the time
Do you want to fight me? Stand in line
It's obvious it's too late to make it right
Talking sense to you is going to take all night
I'm going to get a beating unless I make a plan
I know you want a piece, sorry I'm so slow
One more bevy I'll be ready to go
And run faster than I've ever run before

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.
I love the intro. Frenzal own. It was awesome at Pushover last year, when all the emos were there, and they came on stage and for the first song they said "..alright, this is a new one, it's called Fuck You and Your Fucking Emo Band."
I went nuts and yeah, it owned. Frenzal are awesome.
