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.
She had a mouth that was stolen
From magazines she was holdinʼ
She kept her name in the papers
Itʼs good for calling in favors
And in the back of my mind
All the signs came down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Yes I coud see
And I could see
Well she could never care about me
She had a face that was Snow White
Like sheʼd been chasing it all night
She came up smelling like roses
And stuck their checks up their noses
I felt it deep in my chest
And the rest rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Oh I could see
And I could see
Ah she could never care about me
How does it feel to be loved
Dead on the water
But in the back of my mind
All the signs rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
And I could see
Oh I could see
Well she could never care about me
And I could see
Yes I could see
Yes I could see
Well she could never care about me
From magazines she was holdinʼ
She kept her name in the papers
Itʼs good for calling in favors
And in the back of my mind
All the signs came down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Yes I coud see
And I could see
Well she could never care about me
She had a face that was Snow White
Like sheʼd been chasing it all night
She came up smelling like roses
And stuck their checks up their noses
I felt it deep in my chest
And the rest rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Oh I could see
And I could see
Ah she could never care about me
How does it feel to be loved
Dead on the water
But in the back of my mind
All the signs rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
And I could see
Oh I could see
Well she could never care about me
And I could see
Yes I could see
Yes I could see
Well she could never care about me

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
