This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
The finest hour has stayed unknown, that's not to say it hasn't shown all its torments. But that's okay. If we ever get clear then that's enough, my dear, to let it strip away. And there are cold symbols of all good moments, hanging on, waiting for recognition. But that's okay. If we ever get clear then that's enough, my dear, to put them in their place. I'm down in all that never happened. Am I up in all that's happening because I'll ride this one out until the end. Lick our wounds and sew them all shut, draw them tight, swallor pride, and if that's not enough...

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/
Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
I saw these guys play when they come down to Aussie. This song was by no doubt the stand out track of the night. At the end when both vocals kicked in and sung "I'm down in all that never happened. Am I up in all that's happening because I'll ride this one out until the end. Lick our wounds and sew them all shut, draw them tight, swallor pride, and if that's not enough..." I nearly creamed. It was that good!
Holy shit, I remember that. I was underage at Caringbah Bizzo's. One of the best shows I ever went to.
