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.
Do you know, where everyone will go
if tomorrow always comes so slow
Look at me, look deep into my eyes
knowing everything is just alright
Things I like, things you do to me
make you know fine is the way they'll always be
Because, I just say...
Hey, do you want things to be this way?
Want me to go? Why can't I stay?
It was April but now it's May...
and Thursday was your favorite day...
Can you remember talkin' on the phone
everything about you feels like home
Wondering what to say next
cause I'll meet you on the steps
and see your pretty face
waiting in our special place
I just say...
Hey, do you want things to be this way?
Want me to go? Why can't I stay?
It was April but now it's May...
and Thursday was your favorite day...
your favorite day...
if tomorrow always comes so slow
Look at me, look deep into my eyes
knowing everything is just alright
Things I like, things you do to me
make you know fine is the way they'll always be
Because, I just say...
Hey, do you want things to be this way?
Want me to go? Why can't I stay?
It was April but now it's May...
and Thursday was your favorite day...
Can you remember talkin' on the phone
everything about you feels like home
Wondering what to say next
cause I'll meet you on the steps
and see your pretty face
waiting in our special place
I just say...
Hey, do you want things to be this way?
Want me to go? Why can't I stay?
It was April but now it's May...
and Thursday was your favorite day...
your favorite day...

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
