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.
Well I've got lot's of friend that come around
But nothing beats the kicks that I have found
Well I've got lot's of friend that come around
Well I've got lot's of friend that come around ( Ya Ya )
Well I've got lot's of friends to steal my pride
Tell me what would happen if I die
Tell me what would happen if I die
Well I've got lot's of friends that come around
Ya I've got lot's of friends who bring me down
I'm comin' down ( comin' down )
Bring me down whe your around
I've got lot's of friends who stroke my head
You could rub it, suck it, love it, it's my head
Well I've got lot's of friends that come around
Ya I've got lot's of friends who bring me down
I'm comin' down ( comin' down )
Bring me down whe your around
Well I don't owe you nothing
I don't owe you nothing
I don't owe you nothing
I don't owe you nothing
You bring me down
When your around
Don't come around (ya)
But nothing beats the kicks that I have found
Well I've got lot's of friend that come around
Well I've got lot's of friend that come around ( Ya Ya )
Well I've got lot's of friends to steal my pride
Tell me what would happen if I die
Tell me what would happen if I die
Well I've got lot's of friends that come around
Ya I've got lot's of friends who bring me down
I'm comin' down ( comin' down )
Bring me down whe your around
I've got lot's of friends who stroke my head
You could rub it, suck it, love it, it's my head
Well I've got lot's of friends that come around
Ya I've got lot's of friends who bring me down
I'm comin' down ( comin' down )
Bring me down whe your around
Well I don't owe you nothing
I don't owe you nothing
I don't owe you nothing
I don't owe you nothing
You bring me down
When your around
Don't come around (ya)

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/

Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way.
