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.
The other day we talked so long about our history
And all that had gone wrong, big hardcore mystery
And images I keep, so vivid, buried deep
Of days gone by, there is no reason why
A new day, a new time
Why don't we let the kids give it a try?
A new way, a new plan
Why should we get what we don't understand?
Let us accomplishments speak loud, why shouldn't we be proud?
A lot has happened since big hardcore influence
Some even tried to steal the name but it wasn't the same
If our best days are behind, let's hope some kids will find...
A new day, a new time
Why don't we let the kids give it a try?
A new way, a new plan
Why should we get what we don't understand?
And all that had gone wrong, big hardcore mystery
And images I keep, so vivid, buried deep
Of days gone by, there is no reason why
A new day, a new time
Why don't we let the kids give it a try?
A new way, a new plan
Why should we get what we don't understand?
Let us accomplishments speak loud, why shouldn't we be proud?
A lot has happened since big hardcore influence
Some even tried to steal the name but it wasn't the same
If our best days are behind, let's hope some kids will find...
A new day, a new time
Why don't we let the kids give it a try?
A new way, a new plan
Why should we get what we don't understand?

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/
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.

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.
... but maybe I'm too harsh here or don't even get the lyrics' real meaning ;)
anyway, this song sucks, let alone musicwise.
