The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Two drifters on the morning sky,
Two drifters sailing wide and high,
When summer breezes blow across your mind
With you, I will walk the line.
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
People walking hand in hand
Everybody's singing to the band
I want to be where the stars shine bright
And hear sweet music on a summer night
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
Sundowners we'll go on and on
We'll find the land of the midnight sun
And when you look you'll see for miles around
You'll see the world is in your hand.
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
Two drifters sailing wide and high,
When summer breezes blow across your mind
With you, I will walk the line.
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
People walking hand in hand
Everybody's singing to the band
I want to be where the stars shine bright
And hear sweet music on a summer night
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
Sundowners we'll go on and on
We'll find the land of the midnight sun
And when you look you'll see for miles around
You'll see the world is in your hand.
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine

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.
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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Really? Because I see it more as an optimistic yearning for tranquility and fulfillment. On the album, it segues into "Livin' Thing"--which is about love--and it seems possible that he's searching here for true love. Either that or this song speaks about general yearning for satisfaction before narrowing on "Livin' Thing" into the search for true love.
I don't think this has anything to do with cocaine.
Hmmm...I have never done it in my life, but it seems pretty clear to me that this song is about cocaine.
