The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
thats ok(i dont care)
i cant remember what happpened there
something about you said you loved me(would you go with me anywhere)
i dont care
i dont mind
you only broke my heart
my life revoloved around you
why did you leave
what did you do
gaze into the days
i came back
you werent there
what happened to those times we shared
i dont know
i guess there gone somehow
i knew that all along
you were fake
theres no mistake
and that its better either way
for you but silll i think
its seem so hard for me to see
gaze into the day
what you see there
had to be ok
see its not too bad
when you left
you left me dead
but now its growing out
things just might get perfect again
??????????? i will be sad
so dont came back acting sad
did you care
today im alone
and now i know
that ill be fine
even without you
by my side but i
cant believe you left me there
'i love you' is what you said
the day before you packed your things and left
gaze into the day
what you see there
had to be ok
see its not too bad
when you left
you left me dead
but now its growing out
things just might get perfecrt again
??????????? i wont be sad
dont came back acting sad
did you care
i will never say
i want you again
i will never play
so i suggest you stay away
i will never say
i want you again
i will never play
STAY AWAY

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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
