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"
Well she comes from the land Of Valencian winds Deciduous daydream See sometimes just maybe The mistress of when Dressage round the bend A triptych of new touch From heaven to men Invisible trends She likes nice cars She bites the heads off Her mutual friends We dine at the table She sits at the end She likes big words And playing pretend Come now dear boys How, where to begin? Of the prison within She's Ursula, major Your sashes of New-Ro She's always in parties She's struggling to win From psychic to sin Your need to defend So pseudo-mindacious Let down your void She's cruel in bed You'd think she was precious Something like you said Cause she's got the secret In which fate depends She likes nice cars Impossible trends She bites the heads off Her beautiful friends We dine at the table She likes big words She sits at the end Although we'll never comprehend She likes nice cars Invisible trends She bites the heads off Her musical friends We dine at the table She sits at the end She likes big words She likes nice cars She bites the heads off Her beautiful friends Impossible trends She lights all the candles She likes the ones They burn at both ends That you'll never understand She likes big words

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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
by the way...its "she bites the heads off her beautiful friends" instead of "mutual friends" in the phrase following "impossible trends"....it switches back and forth...and there's a lot of the end of the song that was leftout of this.....and its more about a girl who is trying to ACT smart....she isnt....there's a line that i believe was left out above that says something about "she likes big words, the ones she cant comprehend"...she doesnt understand...like when little kids use words that they dont really understand, and they use them wrong....its at the end of the song....there's quite a few lyrics missing at the end....
