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.
(Chorus)Three days,
since you left me all alone.
I fell asleep again,
with my hand holding the phone.
I know that you'll be back,
but I can't help but think,
before you go to sleep at night,
are you thinking of me?
As soon as you cross state lines,
be sure to call my name.
I'm pretty sure I'll hear you I've been missing you everyday.
I guess that I'll just sit,
with my eyes stuck to the wall.
I'm running out of things to do.
Me and Jason are sick of the mall.
Chorus
These twenty-four hour days,
seem a little longer.
Are there seven days in a week?
Since you've been gone
my heart has skipped one million beats
Where can I go?
I woke up again last night,
I really needed the rest.
I could'nt go back to sleep.
My heart was beating through my chest.
Chorus
since you left me all alone.
I fell asleep again,
with my hand holding the phone.
I know that you'll be back,
but I can't help but think,
before you go to sleep at night,
are you thinking of me?
As soon as you cross state lines,
be sure to call my name.
I'm pretty sure I'll hear you I've been missing you everyday.
I guess that I'll just sit,
with my eyes stuck to the wall.
I'm running out of things to do.
Me and Jason are sick of the mall.
Chorus
These twenty-four hour days,
seem a little longer.
Are there seven days in a week?
Since you've been gone
my heart has skipped one million beats
Where can I go?
I woke up again last night,
I really needed the rest.
I could'nt go back to sleep.
My heart was beating through my chest.

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/
