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.
Breathe me in my love
and hold me in tight
Wandering, not lost
alone in the
night
The fear's begun to surface
So breathe me in my love
and hold me in
tight
You had me going for a minute there
I thought I heard you coming up
the stairs
There comes a time you need to let me know
We'll fight your demons
when they start to show
I would never mind a sudden change
Sometimes it gets
us on our better days
You're just a victim of the circumstance
Breathe in
as you spin in circles
So breathe me in my love
In circles
What we take
hold of
is up to us now
So try and hold your head
up above ground
You had
me going for a minute there
A subtle feeling lingered in the air
There comes
a time you need to let me know
We'll fight your demons when they start to
show
I would never mind a sudden change
Sometimes it gets us on our better
days
You're just a victim of the circumstance
Breathe in as you spin in
circles
So breathe me in my love
In circles
and hold me in tight
Wandering, not lost
alone in the
night
The fear's begun to surface
So breathe me in my love
and hold me in
tight
You had me going for a minute there
I thought I heard you coming up
the stairs
There comes a time you need to let me know
We'll fight your demons
when they start to show
I would never mind a sudden change
Sometimes it gets
us on our better days
You're just a victim of the circumstance
Breathe in
as you spin in circles
So breathe me in my love
In circles
What we take
hold of
is up to us now
So try and hold your head
up above ground
You had
me going for a minute there
A subtle feeling lingered in the air
There comes
a time you need to let me know
We'll fight your demons when they start to
show
I would never mind a sudden change
Sometimes it gets us on our better
days
You're just a victim of the circumstance
Breathe in as you spin in
circles
So breathe me in my love
In circles

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
