I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Growing up was all a dream
When all the world was what it seemed
We toss our hair, and laugh out loud
Run and play and spin around
But I don't know where it went wrong
When did we all lose our hearts
When did we plunge into the dark
I'll fall, all the way, all the way back down
And you'd run, all the way, all the way back home
And I'll fall, all the way, all the way back down
And you'd run, all the way, all the way back home
As long we're forced into this
How do we live our life like kids
With innocence and clarity
That never doubts the lives we'll lead
I'll fall, all the way, all the way back down
And you'd run, all the way, all the way back home
And I'll fall, all the way, all the way back down
And you'd run, all the way, all the way back home
When all the world was what it seemed
We toss our hair, and laugh out loud
Run and play and spin around
But I don't know where it went wrong
When did we all lose our hearts
When did we plunge into the dark
I'll fall, all the way, all the way back down
And you'd run, all the way, all the way back home
And I'll fall, all the way, all the way back down
And you'd run, all the way, all the way back home
As long we're forced into this
How do we live our life like kids
With innocence and clarity
That never doubts the lives we'll lead
I'll fall, all the way, all the way back down
And you'd run, all the way, all the way back home
And I'll fall, all the way, all the way back down
And you'd run, all the way, all the way back home

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
