Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Why do you spend all your time
Watching life pass you by; Hanging on to your pride
All that you can anticipate
Hoping all your mistakes will somehow fade away
What are you to do with this
It's either hit or miss
You know the answer now; Come on, give your heart away
I know you hurt inside; I know the reason why
Don't wait a moment; Come on and give you heart away
Why the hesitation
God is ever waiting
Gotta' stop procrastinating; Can you feel me
Why the hesitation; You can pick your destination
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
Your heart will never be the same
Giving up drama's days; Letting go uneasy ways
When will you ever realize
Letting go all your lies; All the pain will subside
What are you gonna' do with this
It's either hit or miss
You know the answer now; Come on, give your heart away
I know you hurt inside; I know the reason why
Don't wait a moment; Come on and give you heart away
Why the hesitation God is ever waiting
Gotta' stop procrastinating; Can you feel me
Why the hesitation; You can pick your destination
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
(Did you know) it's too easy
(So why'd you say) You're too busy
You know you need Him
Come on give your heart away
(Let you know) Why you waiting
(You're wasting time) Hesitating
You know you need Him
Are you ready to believe
Why the hesitation When God is ever waiting
Gotta' stop procrastinating; Can you feel me
Why the hesitation; You can pick your destination
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
What you need, what you need
What you want, what you want
What you want, what you want
(What you need is something genuine)
What you want, what you want
I'm just wondering, Why
Why the hesitation When God is ever waiting
Gotta' stop procrastinating; Can you feel me
Why the hesitation; You can pick your destination
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
Watching life pass you by; Hanging on to your pride
All that you can anticipate
Hoping all your mistakes will somehow fade away
What are you to do with this
It's either hit or miss
You know the answer now; Come on, give your heart away
I know you hurt inside; I know the reason why
Don't wait a moment; Come on and give you heart away
Why the hesitation
God is ever waiting
Gotta' stop procrastinating; Can you feel me
Why the hesitation; You can pick your destination
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
Your heart will never be the same
Giving up drama's days; Letting go uneasy ways
When will you ever realize
Letting go all your lies; All the pain will subside
What are you gonna' do with this
It's either hit or miss
You know the answer now; Come on, give your heart away
I know you hurt inside; I know the reason why
Don't wait a moment; Come on and give you heart away
Why the hesitation God is ever waiting
Gotta' stop procrastinating; Can you feel me
Why the hesitation; You can pick your destination
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
(Did you know) it's too easy
(So why'd you say) You're too busy
You know you need Him
Come on give your heart away
(Let you know) Why you waiting
(You're wasting time) Hesitating
You know you need Him
Are you ready to believe
Why the hesitation When God is ever waiting
Gotta' stop procrastinating; Can you feel me
Why the hesitation; You can pick your destination
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me
What you need, what you need
What you want, what you want
What you want, what you want
(What you need is something genuine)
What you want, what you want
I'm just wondering, Why
Why the hesitation When God is ever waiting
Gotta' stop procrastinating; Can you feel me
Why the hesitation; You can pick your destination
And the risk is so worth taking; Can you hear me

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'

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/

This song is one reason why I'm so close to god!
This song helps me to undertsand God!
THIS SONG IS SAYING THAT THERE IS NO REASON TO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD. HE IS HERE FOR US AND ALWAYS WILL BE. HE IS WAITING FOR US TO SHOW OUR LOVE AS HE SHOWS HIS LOVE. THERE IS NO REASON TO HESTIATE BECAUSE GOD'S LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL. THIS IS WHAT STACIE MEANS BY "WHY THE HESITATION WHEN GOD IS EVER-WAITING, GOTTA STOP PROCRASTINATING; CAN YOU FEEL ME?"
