The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Hoping you will find this message
The words begin to leave my mouth
Through the capsule down the wire
Yeah you came for love setting of that killer spark
You came for love tearing all my doubts apart
Boost the signal need some gain
Amplify my deepest thoughts
The consol guides my masterplan
'Cause you came for love setting of that killer spark
Yeah you came for love tearing all my doubts apart
And I'll reach you through the air
And I'll reach you through the air
Hoping you will find this message
As I watch the faders move
I think of how you make me feel
'Cause you came for love setting of that killer spark
Yeah you came for love tearing all my doubts apart
I'll reach you through the air
The words begin to leave my mouth
Through the capsule down the wire
Yeah you came for love setting of that killer spark
You came for love tearing all my doubts apart
Boost the signal need some gain
Amplify my deepest thoughts
The consol guides my masterplan
'Cause you came for love setting of that killer spark
Yeah you came for love tearing all my doubts apart
And I'll reach you through the air
And I'll reach you through the air
Hoping you will find this message
As I watch the faders move
I think of how you make me feel
'Cause you came for love setting of that killer spark
Yeah you came for love tearing all my doubts apart
I'll reach you through the air

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.
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/
