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.
Times when we laugh all night,
I ain't no happier in my life.
When we're fighting all day long,
Cats and dogs could sing this song.
Oh yeah... I love you so...
Sometimes we fight all day,
When two people both want their way.
And I can't seem to work it out,
I love that when you scream and shout.
Oh yeah I love you so,
And I always let you know.
I adore you,
Never let you go,
And I adore you,
And I will never let you go.
Sometimes we funk all night,
I love that when you hold me tight.
And then when you do me wrong,
I get the blues and I sing this song.
Oh yeah I love you so,
And I always let you know.
I want to be by you side,
When we run away and hide.
I adore you,
Never let you go, oh no.
And I adore you,
And I will never let you...
I ain't no happier in my life.
When we're fighting all day long,
Cats and dogs could sing this song.
Oh yeah... I love you so...
Sometimes we fight all day,
When two people both want their way.
And I can't seem to work it out,
I love that when you scream and shout.
Oh yeah I love you so,
And I always let you know.
I adore you,
Never let you go,
And I adore you,
And I will never let you go.
Sometimes we funk all night,
I love that when you hold me tight.
And then when you do me wrong,
I get the blues and I sing this song.
Oh yeah I love you so,
And I always let you know.
I want to be by you side,
When we run away and hide.
I adore you,
Never let you go, oh no.
And I adore you,
And I will never let you...

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
