This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
My love, it's been a long time since i cried and left you out of the blue.
Its hard leaving you that way when I never wanted to.
Self-denial is a game it's strange i never would've wanted 'til there was you.
'Cause i have learned that love is beyond
what human can imagine, the more it clears the more i gotta let you go.
it is why i don't understand is why im feeling so bad now when i know it was my idea.
i could've just denied the truth and
lied.
but why am i the only one standing stranded on the same ground?
My love, Its been a long time since i cried
and left you out of the blue.
Its hard leaving you that way when
I never wanted to.
Self-denial is a game its strange i never would've wanted til there was you.
'Cause i have learned that love is a word gets thrown a little bit too much.
the best excuse to fill the infinite abyss i have never ever have to fail
If all else fail, would you be there to love me?
When all else fail, would you be brave to see right
through me?

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

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
She's afraid of LOVE. She left the man she loves too much that she got scared. She's afraid with the intensity of what she is feeling so she decided to end it. But after a long time she regrets and hopes that maybe he would come back, that the man could somehow "see right through her" and realizes that she was just scared.
@r3n2388 so basically she has avoidant attachment issue, right?
