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.
Where is your inspiration, you lost it, oh so long ago
so much for innovation, I saw this coming long before
You had no motivation, your hopes are high but trapped below,
This constant competition, we've won but your still keeping score
But I grew up, wishing on a star
Your think I won't ever get to far.
So high on dedication, it feels so good to get away,
From all this repetition, this angry town, this battleground
So now we'll break tradition, we'll leave you swimming in our wake
Without your inspiration, you can survive, you'll surely drown
But I grew up, wishing on a star
Your think I won't ever get to far
But I grew up, wishing on a star
You think I won't ever get to far
Where is your inspiration, you lost it oh so long ago
so much for innovation, I saw this coming long before
You had no motivation, your hopes are high but trapped below,
This constant competition, we've won but your still keeping score
But I grew up, wishing on a star
Your think I won't ever get to far.
So high on dedication, it feels so good to get away,
From all this repetition, this angry town, this battleground
So now we'll break tradition, we'll leave you swimming in our wake
Without your inspiration, you can survive, you'll surely drown
But I grew up, wishing on a star
Your think I won't ever get to far
But I grew up, wishing on a star
You think I won't ever get to far
Where is your inspiration, you lost it oh so long ago

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.
"you can survive, you'll surely drown"..Should be you "You wont survive..youll surely drown" so change it.
This song is exactally how I feel... You cant depend on other peoples thought or veiws on yourself. "You think i wont ever get to far". You can only depend on yourself.
Yellowcard is amazing. I mean an electric violin in a pop-punk band and making it work perfectly. That shows you have skills as a band. This song is great, and I love when all the guitars mesh and work perfect towards the end. I am in awe of that.
I agree with littlelostemoboy. This song, and every element in this song (electric violing and so on) make it so fucking good! It's very admirable.
I totally agree with Shann, its about keeping your hopes set high and going for your goals no matter what anyone says cuz most likely they arent gonna be on your side. you just have to live for yourself and do what you believe no matter what anyone says.
Ditto to the above. Sort of reminds you that just because you're living doesn't mean that you are the best you an be, especially if all you do is try to drag other people down to you and leech off them.
grrr, on audioplanet and kazaa this coems up. but its not yellowcard. another band. the song starts out "do you remember the day, when we used to play, in the backyard, hen life wasnt so hard?" someone pleeeeeeese get me those lyrics and the name of the band.
this song is for my dad cause im successful now and he never thought i would be....
