This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
You feel like you are alone. You have a soulmate?
Somebody who challenges you
I'm talking about someone who opens up things for you, touches your soul
You can't get back to it, you know
You'll never have that kind of relationship in the world
Right, you'll always afraid to take the first step
'Cause all you see is all the negative things ten miles down the road
You can do anything you want, you are bound my love
Yeah, are you my soulmate, my angel?
What do you want with me?
Too high, slow pace, my eyes closed
Your body all I see
I think you're too, too fine for my human mind
When I'm with you what do you do with me to fly
No matter what, one day everyone dies
You think you are God until you run out of time
Yeah, when you're gone what will you leave behind?
Yeah, do I belong sometime soon, where goes my mind?
You were the one to show me divine love, love, love, love
Where was you when I was lonely, my divine love, love, love?
When the stereo plays our songs, sounds so blue
Baby, where'd you go? What's so wrong? I'm right here
Yeah, why do you stay on my case?
I try to make you feel okay
Do you know I'm in pain?
I get you clothes, you misconstrue
You continue to push me far away
Why don't you come on in?
It's like you forgot my face
I just wanna taste you, everything you're made of
We ain't (nothing)
Cut the strings, might belong, watch me fly
Yeah, when are you coming through to free my mind?
Are you happy with your life?
Can I come and satisfy?
Open up, let me inside
When you take off all your clothes
I'm under your control
Rollin' up, you get me high
You the one to show me divine love, love, love, love
Where was you when I was lovely, my divine love, love, love?
When the stereo plays our songs, sounds so blue
Baby, where'd you go? What's so wrong? I'm right here
Somebody who challenges you
I'm talking about someone who opens up things for you, touches your soul
You can't get back to it, you know

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
