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.
Kind of hard, hard to see
When you crawl on your hands and your knees
With your face in the trough
Wait your turn
While they finish you off
Don't know when it started
Don't know how
Should have found out
Should have happened by now
Got these lines on my face
After all this time
And I still haven't found my place
I jump from every rooftop
So high, so far to fall
I feel a million miles away
I don't feel anything at all
I wake up on the floor
Start it up again
Like it matters anymore
I don't know if it does
Is this really all
That there ever was?
Put the gun in my mouth
Close your eyes
Blow my fucking brains out
Pretty patterns on the floor
That's enough for you
But I still need more
I jump from every rooftop
So high, so far to fall
I feel a million miles away
I don't feel anything at all
I jump from every rooftop (is this really all, is it)
So high, so far to fall
I feel a million miles away
I don't feel anything at all
I don't feel anything
I don't feel anything
I don't feel anything
I don't feel anything
I don't feel anything (a million miles away)
I don't feel anything (a million miles away)
I don't feel anything (a million miles away)
I don't feel anything
When you crawl on your hands and your knees
With your face in the trough
Wait your turn
While they finish you off
Don't know when it started
Don't know how
Should have found out
Should have happened by now
Got these lines on my face
After all this time
And I still haven't found my place
I jump from every rooftop
So high, so far to fall
I feel a million miles away
I don't feel anything at all
I wake up on the floor
Start it up again
Like it matters anymore
I don't know if it does
Is this really all
That there ever was?
Put the gun in my mouth
Close your eyes
Blow my fucking brains out
Pretty patterns on the floor
That's enough for you
But I still need more
I jump from every rooftop
So high, so far to fall
I feel a million miles away
I don't feel anything at all
I jump from every rooftop (is this really all, is it)
So high, so far to fall
I feel a million miles away
I don't feel anything at all
I don't feel anything
I don't feel anything
I don't feel anything
I don't feel anything
I don't feel anything (a million miles away)
I don't feel anything (a million miles away)
I don't feel anything (a million miles away)
I don't feel anything

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/
Punchline

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.
In Hurt he was thinking "wow, maybe it wouldnt suck if i was somewhere else entirely," and now he is saying "well here i am, and it still sucks."
Thank God. I was wondering what the similaraties were =D
