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.
Stuck on a feeling
I’m high on believing
That you’ll come back again
This Indian summer
A snowfall in June
Show up uninvited
I’m leaving with you soon
And I will
Hold my tongue
It burns still
The fires strong
And I will
Justify these pills
And make believe now
Everything that I’ve forgotten comes back
[Chorus]
Now forever
You hold me again
Now forever
You hold me still
Stuck on a feeling
I’ve been there before
My six o’clock special
Is breaking down my doors
This beautiful nightmare
This aura, this love
This now forever
That I will overcome
And I will
Hold my tongue
It burns still
The fires strong
And I will
Justify these pills
And make believe now
Everything that I’ve forgotten
Streets so hollow
I can’t stop it
[Chorus x2]
Now for…
Now, everything
Has come and gone
It’s taught me truth
And made me strong
The bitter chase
The memories of you
Now, everything
Is black and white
The table turned
And on this night
My victory
The sunlight shining through
[Chorus x2]
Yeah
Yeah, hold me still [x4]
I’m high on believing
That you’ll come back again
This Indian summer
A snowfall in June
Show up uninvited
I’m leaving with you soon
And I will
Hold my tongue
It burns still
The fires strong
And I will
Justify these pills
And make believe now
Everything that I’ve forgotten comes back
[Chorus]
Now forever
You hold me again
Now forever
You hold me still
Stuck on a feeling
I’ve been there before
My six o’clock special
Is breaking down my doors
This beautiful nightmare
This aura, this love
This now forever
That I will overcome
And I will
Hold my tongue
It burns still
The fires strong
And I will
Justify these pills
And make believe now
Everything that I’ve forgotten
Streets so hollow
I can’t stop it
[Chorus x2]
Now for…
Now, everything
Has come and gone
It’s taught me truth
And made me strong
The bitter chase
The memories of you
Now, everything
Is black and white
The table turned
And on this night
My victory
The sunlight shining through
[Chorus x2]
Yeah
Yeah, hold me still [x4]

The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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/
