This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
If you ever find a way to forgive me
If you ever find a way to put this all to rest
Because I am hanging on your dress now like a little boy
When all that you wanted
Wast a good man
Right in the middle of another fight
Boom back another one tonight
Blood never forgets but who protects the memories when we bleed each other from the vain
And if you ever find a way to make this interesting
If I ever find a way to stop disintegrating
Into pieces that I was that you destroy
When all that you wanted
Was a good man
Right in the middle of another big fight
Go to bed it's getting light out
Why do you always find me in the places when I'm coming down
And how do you do it when I'm overwhelmed by a violet sky,
And we fly inn decayed orbit 66 thousand miles and hour goes by when we kissed,
And only now do I feel your mouth, like an ache you never knew,
And it was right in front of you
How do you do it, roots in the soil untangled
Releasing in sweet summer oil still I recoil like mace
In all the little moments I pushed you away that I can't erase
Cause every moment overflows with power 66 thousand miles an hour
If you ever find a way to put this all to rest
Because I am hanging on your dress now like a little boy
When all that you wanted
Wast a good man
Right in the middle of another fight
Boom back another one tonight
Blood never forgets but who protects the memories when we bleed each other from the vain
And if you ever find a way to make this interesting
If I ever find a way to stop disintegrating
Into pieces that I was that you destroy
When all that you wanted
Was a good man
Right in the middle of another big fight
Go to bed it's getting light out
Why do you always find me in the places when I'm coming down
And how do you do it when I'm overwhelmed by a violet sky,
And we fly inn decayed orbit 66 thousand miles and hour goes by when we kissed,
And only now do I feel your mouth, like an ache you never knew,
And it was right in front of you
How do you do it, roots in the soil untangled
Releasing in sweet summer oil still I recoil like mace
In all the little moments I pushed you away that I can't erase
Cause every moment overflows with power 66 thousand miles an hour

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.
I have been listening to 3eb for years and years and only just discovered this song.
I feel this song is all about regret and thinking about a past relationship. Regretting mistakes made, wishing things could work out.
The lyrics in this song are like most of SJ's work, beautiful.
66,000 miles an hour is the approximate speed of the planet earth as it orbits the sun. To me its a reference to time and how despite any feelings, any decisions, anything, it just keeps going on.
The line 'hanging onto your dress like a little boy' is so powerful of the feeling of longing and regret when you realise you've lost the woman you really love. It really reduces you to that.
I could go on. The lyrics are just so powerful.
Yeah jenkin's imagery in this song blow my mind:<br /> <br /> "And we fly in a decayed orbit <br /> 66 thousand miles an hour goes by when we kissed <br /> And only now do I feel your mouth <br /> Like an ache you never knew <br /> And it was right in front of you"<br /> <br /> This is so true.
