This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
They say that loving yourself
Is loving someone else
You've always been right there
When I needed you
Moving through the night
Trying to get it right
'Cause this here life
Will test you over and over again
'Cause you keep giving me something to believe in
And I keep giving up
'Cause the walls are falling down
'Cause you keep giving me something to believe in
And I keep giving up
'Cause the walls are falling down
'Cause the walls are falling down
'Cause the walls are falling down
Yeah, 'cause the walls are falling down
Is it impossible to be learned
Is it impossible to be taught
'Cause anybody could be burned
And anybody could be caught
I'm standing in the night
Trying to get it right
'Cause this here life
Will test you over and over again
'Cause you keep giving me something to believe in
And I keep giving up
'Cause the walls are falling down
'Cause you keep giving me something to believe in
And I keep giving up
'Cause the walls are falling down
'Cause the walls are falling down
'Cause the walls are falling down
Yeah, 'cause the walls are falling down
'Cause the walls are falling
Is loving someone else
You've always been right there
When I needed you
Moving through the night
Trying to get it right
'Cause this here life
Will test you over and over again
'Cause you keep giving me something to believe in
And I keep giving up
'Cause the walls are falling down
'Cause you keep giving me something to believe in
And I keep giving up
'Cause the walls are falling down
'Cause the walls are falling down
'Cause the walls are falling down
Yeah, 'cause the walls are falling down
Is it impossible to be learned
Is it impossible to be taught
'Cause anybody could be burned
And anybody could be caught
I'm standing in the night
Trying to get it right
'Cause this here life
Will test you over and over again
'Cause you keep giving me something to believe in
And I keep giving up
'Cause the walls are falling down
'Cause you keep giving me something to believe in
And I keep giving up
'Cause the walls are falling down
'Cause the walls are falling down
'Cause the walls are falling down
Yeah, 'cause the walls are falling down
'Cause the walls are falling

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.
