This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I love you like grave danger
Like moon shining disguise
Mmm hmm
When I wake up with your makeup
And spread blush cross the sky
Like a meteor crush
I'm gonna tell the world
Been a million years full of tears
But I found my girl
My notion of love devotion
Was a corrosion of mind
Mmm hmm
Then come cupid and now I’m stupid
And I feel it’s just fine
Like exploding face
I’m gonna tell the world
Been a million years full of fears
But I found my girl
It’s a spun tongue
It’s a holy shit
It’s a loud cry from the heart
It’s a live death
It’s a big breath
It’s a no more we’re apart
Like a rainbow crash
As we bow and swirl
Been a million years full of tears
But I found my girl
Like exploding sun
Let the light unfurl
Been a million years full of fears
But I found my girl
Like moon shining disguise
Mmm hmm
When I wake up with your makeup
And spread blush cross the sky
Like a meteor crush
I'm gonna tell the world
Been a million years full of tears
But I found my girl
My notion of love devotion
Was a corrosion of mind
Mmm hmm
Then come cupid and now I’m stupid
And I feel it’s just fine
Like exploding face
I’m gonna tell the world
Been a million years full of fears
But I found my girl
It’s a spun tongue
It’s a holy shit
It’s a loud cry from the heart
It’s a live death
It’s a big breath
It’s a no more we’re apart
Like a rainbow crash
As we bow and swirl
Been a million years full of tears
But I found my girl
Like exploding sun
Let the light unfurl
Been a million years full of fears
But I found my girl

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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
I believe the second line is actually "like moonshine in disguise" ... everyone loves moonshine! I love this song. I think it's pretty obvious what it's about. It's just so cute and very sincere.
What a brilliant song - great tune, simple message, and amazing all around
Pretty sure its "Like an idiot crush"
Generally I dislike swearing in songs but I actually like the use of 'holy shit' in this song.
Lyrics should be:
I love you like grave danger Like moonshine in disguise When I wake up with your makeup And spread blush cross the sky
Like a idiot crush Imma tell the world Been a million years full of tears But I found my girl
My notion of love devotion Was a corrosion of mind Then come cupid and now I'm stupid And I feel it's just fine
Like exploding fates Imma tell the world Been a million years full of fears But I found my girl
It's a spun tongue It's a holy shit It's a loud cry from the heart It's a live death It's a big breath It's a no more we're apart
Like a rainbow crash As we bow and swirl Been a million years full of tears But I found my girl
Like exploding sun(s) Let the light unfurl Been a million years full of fears But I found my girl
I don't know for sure, but I think the uncredited line is: "And ya feel ya say(me) way" which is a slurred way of saying "And you feel the same way"
I love the "holy shit" in here too. It's what pops into my mind when I see something incredible or overwhelming, like the feeling you get when you find the right one.
