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.
People say I'm indecisive (I am, I'm not)
If one day I hate it, then the next I'll probably like it
Do I feel like being alone or with all of my friends?
Fuck, I don't know if I should say or if I should go (huh)
I don't have the answers you need
'Cause I live in the in-between
So if you put your bets on me
You better be down for anything
'Cause I'm like yes and no
Wait, I don't know
I think I'm dying
Hold up, I'm invincible
Yeah, I'm like yes (yes) and no (no)
Wait, I don't know
I'll pull you closer into to me
And I'm pushing you away
'Cause I'm like yes and no
Wait, I don't know (kn-kn-know)
I think I'm dying
Hold up, I'm invincible (ether)
Yeah, I'm like yes (yes) and no (no)
Wait, I don't know
I'll pull you closer into me
And I'm pushing you away
Don't know if I'm feeling happy (no)
Im kinda confused, I'm not in the mood to try and fix me (uh)
Do I feel like being alone or with all of my friends?
Fuck, I don't know (Fuck I don't no)
If I should say or if I should go (huh)
I don't have the answers you need
'Cause I live in the in-between, ha-ha
'Cause I'm like yes and no
Wait, I don't know
I think I'm dying
Hold up, I'm invincible
Yeah, I'm like yes (yes) and no (no)
Wait, I don't know
I'll pull you closer into to me
And I'm pushing you away
'Cause I'm like yes and no
Wait, I don't know (kn-kn-know)
I think I'm dying
Hold up, I'm invincible (ether)
Yeah, I'm like yes (yes) and no (no)
Wait, I don't know
I'll pull you closer into me
And I'm pushing you away

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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.
