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.
You Lie in bed when it's raining outside
Listen to the voices in the back of your mind
There the ones that tell you, your all alone
But your to scared to be happy
Or let it show
Something thats given is so easily taken
Beginning to wonder whether you were mistaken
For someone who gives a damn bout having a smile
Is being happy really worthwhile?
but you would never come to my door
Telling me you'd want more
But i guess you were'nt meant to see
No more
I never ever thought in a million years
That you would be the one who would cause my tears
Something thats lost well it may never be found
Now we have to find a moment just to slow down
I wanna help you out
We're gunna figure out what its all about cuz
but you would never come to my door
Telling me you'd want more
But i guess you were'nt meant to see
No more
ba da ba
but you would never come to my door
Telling me you'd want more
But i guess you were'nt meant to see
No more

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/

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.
