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.
When the sun slowly chases the moon from the sky
And touches your face as you open your eyes
What are you thinking? Do you like what you see?
Is it all that you dreamed of, or do you wish it was me?
Is the life that you've chosen free from regret?
Or is what mine has been just too hard to forget?
Has the glitter all faded? Do you get what you need?
Are you satisfied, baby, or do you wish it was me?
I know that you did what you thought you should do
It was safe and secure, so completely thought through
But you sacrificed passion, and abandoned your dreams
Baby, was it all worth it, or do you wish it was me?
Does each kiss seem closer to the first or the last
Is the fire still raging, or has it burned down to ash?
Do the memories haunt you? Do they beg and they plead?
Are you satisfied, baby, or do you wish it was me?
Is the life that you've chosen free from regret?
Or is what mine has been just too hard to forget?
Has the glitter all faded? Do you get what you need?
Are you satisfied, baby, or do you wish it was me?
Are you satisfied baby?
Mm, yeah
Or do you wish it was me?
Do you wish it was me?
Oh, do you wish it was me?
Do you wish it was me?
Do you wish it was me?
Do you wish it was me?
Whoa
And touches your face as you open your eyes
What are you thinking? Do you like what you see?
Is it all that you dreamed of, or do you wish it was me?
Is the life that you've chosen free from regret?
Or is what mine has been just too hard to forget?
Has the glitter all faded? Do you get what you need?
Are you satisfied, baby, or do you wish it was me?
I know that you did what you thought you should do
It was safe and secure, so completely thought through
But you sacrificed passion, and abandoned your dreams
Baby, was it all worth it, or do you wish it was me?
Does each kiss seem closer to the first or the last
Is the fire still raging, or has it burned down to ash?
Do the memories haunt you? Do they beg and they plead?
Are you satisfied, baby, or do you wish it was me?
Is the life that you've chosen free from regret?
Or is what mine has been just too hard to forget?
Has the glitter all faded? Do you get what you need?
Are you satisfied, baby, or do you wish it was me?
Are you satisfied baby?
Mm, yeah
Or do you wish it was me?
Do you wish it was me?
Oh, do you wish it was me?
Do you wish it was me?
Do you wish it was me?
Do you wish it was me?
Whoa

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/
