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.
You know I've been drinking
My senses are leaving
Enhance my dreaming
And my feelings for you
But we're young to this city
So we gotta do everything
Not to let it down
Not to let it down
It's up to me and you
To do all the things our
Parents taught us
So well not to
We're young and alone
So let's do everything
Ignore the telephone
It's not for you
Constantly
It's so hard to breathe
I can hardly see
Sense of smell's left me
And what's the point to hear
Unless it's her voice saying
We can disappear
What in the hell did she do to me?
I'll always want to sleep
If she's the one I'll see
What in the hell did she do to me?
Everything not too well.
My senses are leaving
Enhance my dreaming
And my feelings for you
But we're young to this city
So we gotta do everything
Not to let it down
Not to let it down
It's up to me and you
To do all the things our
Parents taught us
So well not to
We're young and alone
So let's do everything
Ignore the telephone
It's not for you
Constantly
It's so hard to breathe
I can hardly see
Sense of smell's left me
And what's the point to hear
Unless it's her voice saying
We can disappear
What in the hell did she do to me?
I'll always want to sleep
If she's the one I'll see
What in the hell did she do to me?
Everything not too well.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
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.
Page

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 don't know why, or how even, i started listening to this song because i'd never heard of the band. But man it's a damn good song. I'm gonna go check out there other stuff =)
