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.
There's a notebook on the table, you can take it to the store
So you won't forget the groceries anymore
There's a rifle in the cabinet that I used to fight a war
But to this day, I don't know what I was fighting for
I'm fighting for
Will you show me love as we get older and I'm falling at your feet?
After thirty years of service and the wounds of it are me
Show me love as we grow colder, let our love provide the heat
That our older bones are missing, but our hearts will never need
There's a blanket on the sofa that I used to keep you warm
When I find you fast asleep at half past four
There's a record we keep turning that reminds us of our youth
But there's still nothing as beautiful as you
Will you show me love as we get older and I'm falling at your feet?
After thirty years of service and the wounds of it are me
Show me love as we grow colder, let our love provide the heat
That our older bones are missing, but our hearts will never need
(As we grow colder, love provide the heat)
(Older bones are missing, hearts will never need)
Because your hand belongs in my hand
Belongs in your hand, belongs with, with me
(Blanket on the sofa that I used to keep you warm)
(There's a record we keep turning that I used to turn you on)
Will you show me love as we get older and I'm falling at your feet?
After thirty years of service and the wounds of it are me
Show me love as we grow colder, let our love provide the heat
That our older bones are missing, but our hearts will never need
So you won't forget the groceries anymore
There's a rifle in the cabinet that I used to fight a war
But to this day, I don't know what I was fighting for
I'm fighting for
Will you show me love as we get older and I'm falling at your feet?
After thirty years of service and the wounds of it are me
Show me love as we grow colder, let our love provide the heat
That our older bones are missing, but our hearts will never need
There's a blanket on the sofa that I used to keep you warm
When I find you fast asleep at half past four
There's a record we keep turning that reminds us of our youth
But there's still nothing as beautiful as you
Will you show me love as we get older and I'm falling at your feet?
After thirty years of service and the wounds of it are me
Show me love as we grow colder, let our love provide the heat
That our older bones are missing, but our hearts will never need
(As we grow colder, love provide the heat)
(Older bones are missing, hearts will never need)
Because your hand belongs in my hand
Belongs in your hand, belongs with, with me
(Blanket on the sofa that I used to keep you warm)
(There's a record we keep turning that I used to turn you on)
Will you show me love as we get older and I'm falling at your feet?
After thirty years of service and the wounds of it are me
Show me love as we grow colder, let our love provide the heat
That our older bones are missing, but our hearts will never need

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/

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 used to have this but i deleted it buecause the sexualness of the lyrics freaked me out at the time. Now i've seen this and remembered it, I might try and find it again. I really like the lyrics to the second verse. Plus it's a cool tune.
