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.
i'm sorry about your girl|little center of the universe|her axis turns the world|you need to jet to get to her|oh the way she moves|attracts all kinds of focus|from all over the room...|she's not ladylike|(doo doo doo yeah)|she's big|and proud|and she knows what the world is about...|(hey)|what the what is ladylike|if ladies like to do what the what|they like just like you|yeah, just like you|look out, babe, here comes another one|what the what is ladylike|if ladies like to do what the what|they like just like you|yeah, just like you|look out, babe, here comes another one|(doo doo doo yeah)|on my knees|on all fours|from underneath|hear me|what the what is ladylike|if ladies like to do what the what|they like just like you|hey, just like you|look out, Man - Go|what the what is ladylike|if ladies like to do what the what|they like just like you|like you, like you, like you oh|what the what is ladylike|what the what is ladylike|what the what the what the what|what the what the what the what|is ladylike|what the what is ladylike|what the what is ladylike|what the what the what the what|what the what the what the what|is ladylike|(doo doo doo yeah)

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.
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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
damn i love this song!!!
Fricking amazing. When she says "On my knees or on all fours, from underneath hear me roar" it's like pure sex dripping from her voice. I love this woman. She is the best thing to happen to feminism since lesbianism. lol jk kinda but not really.
omg, first person who wrote the lyrics that is actually right. I love you!
