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.
Help me out and hear my selfish plea
He'll run away someday
But he was in love with me
Lord, please help me put these thoughts to rest
He has another woman
He'll never be the best
Lord, can you expel my evil prayer
I love him all the time
but I know it seems unfair
Tell me now, let me know which love is real
I don't know very much but I know the way I feel
One is the enemy, been running all along
One is the one for me
Don't know where I went wrong
One is the enemy, been running all along
One is the one for me
Don't know where I went wrong
Help me out and hear my awful cries
He loves me all the time
But he only tells me lies
Lord, please help me put these thoughts to rest
He has another woman
He'll never be the best
See for me 'cause my vision's not so clear
I can't help holdin' on to the demons I hold dear
Tell me now, let me know which love is real
I don't know very much
I don't know the way I feel
One is the enemy, been running all along
One is the one for me
Don't know where I went wrong
One is the enemy, been running all along
One is the one for me
Don't know where I went wrong
He want to push me down
He's tearing me apart
He wants to build me up and give me all his love
One is the enemy, been running all along
One is the one for me
Don't know where I went wrong
One is the enemy, been running all along
One is the one for me
Don't know where I went wrong
He'll run away someday
But he was in love with me
Lord, please help me put these thoughts to rest
He has another woman
He'll never be the best
Lord, can you expel my evil prayer
I love him all the time
but I know it seems unfair
Tell me now, let me know which love is real
I don't know very much but I know the way I feel
One is the enemy, been running all along
One is the one for me
Don't know where I went wrong
One is the enemy, been running all along
One is the one for me
Don't know where I went wrong
Help me out and hear my awful cries
He loves me all the time
But he only tells me lies
Lord, please help me put these thoughts to rest
He has another woman
He'll never be the best
See for me 'cause my vision's not so clear
I can't help holdin' on to the demons I hold dear
Tell me now, let me know which love is real
I don't know very much
I don't know the way I feel
One is the enemy, been running all along
One is the one for me
Don't know where I went wrong
One is the enemy, been running all along
One is the one for me
Don't know where I went wrong
He want to push me down
He's tearing me apart
He wants to build me up and give me all his love
One is the enemy, been running all along
One is the one for me
Don't know where I went wrong
One is the enemy, been running all along
One is the one for me
Don't know where I went wrong

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
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"

Just A Little Lovin'

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/

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.
It's about her loving two dudes. One is good for/to her and the other is a scumbag and she wants divine assistance to help her choose which one to stop loving. heh
