This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I've called a thousand times to hear your voice on a thousand nights
And i've closed my eyes to see the shapes your lips make when you speak
The words that you give to me when i'm sad
I've watched them burst language at its seams
and brighten my darkness and make me brave
I'll take you out
We'll spiral and tangle and dance away the night
and waltz the canal
We'll go home exhausted and dream the rest of our
lives together
When you float into my thoughts you're like a princess
with an angels kiss
who dances around me and keeps me safe
I'll take you out
We'll go out
And i've closed my eyes to see the shapes your lips make when you speak
The words that you give to me when i'm sad
I've watched them burst language at its seams
and brighten my darkness and make me brave
I'll take you out
We'll spiral and tangle and dance away the night
and waltz the canal
We'll go home exhausted and dream the rest of our
lives together
When you float into my thoughts you're like a princess
with an angels kiss
who dances around me and keeps me safe
I'll take you out
We'll go out

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.
