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.
So it would appear
I left my heart here
And it would be fair to say
I've been swept away
So move in right along
For you I wrote this song
If I'm a fool
So this fool will never be with you
Oh yeah I know
For just when I thought that we could make it
Realty strikes me down
For I don't want tomorrow
Just give me some today
I'll be on first train back home to yesterday
Yesterday
To yesterday
Leave me on the hell
For 50 years
Dancing there
Leave me where you will
I'm very well
You are
Wonderful
Oh yes you are
You are the star
Yes you are
Yes you are
You are the star
So keep well
And travel safe
You are
Wonderful
I left my heart here
And it would be fair to say
I've been swept away
So move in right along
For you I wrote this song
If I'm a fool
So this fool will never be with you
Oh yeah I know
For just when I thought that we could make it
Realty strikes me down
For I don't want tomorrow
Just give me some today
I'll be on first train back home to yesterday
Yesterday
To yesterday
Leave me on the hell
For 50 years
Dancing there
Leave me where you will
I'm very well
You are
Wonderful
Oh yes you are
You are the star
Yes you are
Yes you are
You are the star
So keep well
And travel safe
You are
Wonderful

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

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.
