This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You need somebody who likes themself
Who lives for life and never calls for help
You need somebody to walk you back
Someone who loves you too before you ask
You’re worth more, you’re worth more than this
You can take a leap without the risk
There’s no time, there’s no time for this
Take your love and start again
So run for your life, run for your life
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time
You need someone who can stand alone
Who finds the way, instead of being shown
Somebody with confidence
Who's strong enough to be hit more than once
You'll find more, you'll find more than this
Take the world that's at your fingertips
Don't waste time, don't waste time with this
Take your love and start again
So run for your life, run for your life
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time
Run, run and don't look back again
Run, run, one day you'll understand
I'm not, no, I'm not who you think I am
So run for your life (run and don't look back again, run and don't look back again)
Run for your life (one day you'll understand, one day you'll understand)
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time
Run for your life, run for your life
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time
Who lives for life and never calls for help
You need somebody to walk you back
Someone who loves you too before you ask
You’re worth more, you’re worth more than this
You can take a leap without the risk
There’s no time, there’s no time for this
Take your love and start again
So run for your life, run for your life
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time
You need someone who can stand alone
Who finds the way, instead of being shown
Somebody with confidence
Who's strong enough to be hit more than once
You'll find more, you'll find more than this
Take the world that's at your fingertips
Don't waste time, don't waste time with this
Take your love and start again
So run for your life, run for your life
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time
Run, run and don't look back again
Run, run, one day you'll understand
I'm not, no, I'm not who you think I am
So run for your life (run and don't look back again, run and don't look back again)
Run for your life (one day you'll understand, one day you'll understand)
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time
Run for your life, run for your life
If you leave me behind, you'll get there in time

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”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
