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.
I know you've tried to say, that
It's the last time
I can see it in your eyes
I can feel it when I'm holding you
And you're as cold as ice.
It's the last time
I can taste it in your kiss,
I can hear it in the silence
And we both know what it is,
It's the last time
There's nothing I can say
I haven't said before
If I've made mistakes along the way
I can't have loved you more
There's no side of me I'm hiding
No new way to make you care
I've tried everything I can and still
The feeling isn't there... and
It's the last time
And I can't belive it's true
If I had a chance with anyone
I swear my chance was you.
It's the last time
And I'm angry and I'm scared
And I don't know what I'll do
When I wake up and you're not there,
It's the last time
It's the last time
I just can't believe that you don't need me
The last time
I juts can't belive that you would leave me
The last time
I'll be such a lonely man, belive me
The last time
The last time
Now I'll have to spend my nights without you
The last time
Now I'll have to fight my dreams about you
The last time
I would change your mind if I knew how to
But it's the last time...
It's the last time
I can see it in your eyes
I can feel it when I'm holding you
And you're as cold as ice.
It's the last time
I can taste it in your kiss,
I can hear it in the silence
And we both know what it is,
It's the last time
There's nothing I can say
I haven't said before
If I've made mistakes along the way
I can't have loved you more
There's no side of me I'm hiding
No new way to make you care
I've tried everything I can and still
The feeling isn't there... and
It's the last time
And I can't belive it's true
If I had a chance with anyone
I swear my chance was you.
It's the last time
And I'm angry and I'm scared
And I don't know what I'll do
When I wake up and you're not there,
It's the last time
It's the last time
I just can't believe that you don't need me
The last time
I juts can't belive that you would leave me
The last time
I'll be such a lonely man, belive me
The last time
The last time
Now I'll have to spend my nights without you
The last time
Now I'll have to fight my dreams about you
The last time
I would change your mind if I knew how to
But it's the last time...

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/
