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.
"I don't want this anymore"
Is all I heard her say
As I grabbed my stuff
And headed out the door
With my music in my phones
And my bike under my feet
Things started to look different
As I got out on the street
Sometimes I see her face
In the new people that I meet
We're not who we thought we were
When we saw this dream
Sometimes when I just can't sleep
I hear the words you said to me
"How did you get so deep inside of me?"
I wake up and I move on
I admit the past is gone
I wake up and I refine
Moving foward to the next lifetime
I leave it all behind
Sometimes when I just can't sleep
I hear the words you said to me
"Sometimes it takes a painful loss
To realize you are free"
How did you get so deep inside of me?
How did you get so deep inside of me?
Is all I heard her say
As I grabbed my stuff
And headed out the door
With my music in my phones
And my bike under my feet
Things started to look different
As I got out on the street
Sometimes I see her face
In the new people that I meet
We're not who we thought we were
When we saw this dream
Sometimes when I just can't sleep
I hear the words you said to me
"How did you get so deep inside of me?"
I wake up and I move on
I admit the past is gone
I wake up and I refine
Moving foward to the next lifetime
I leave it all behind
Sometimes when I just can't sleep
I hear the words you said to me
"Sometimes it takes a painful loss
To realize you are free"
How did you get so deep inside of me?
How did you get so deep inside of me?

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/
