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.
Well I can't wait to tell you all about her, all about my new girl
(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)
And I can't wait for you to hear me shout it, all about my new girl
(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)
When we were together you tried to break my heart
Said you always did your best at keeping us apart
Said now you're dead and gone and I've got a new thing going
I can't wait to see your face when you and your friends show up
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
Something makes you think that you're some kinda winner
Said you want to get married and cook somebody dinner?
Said you're making fun of me 'cause I'm young and got no money
I've got no time for school books 'cause I got no time to study
Well I can't wait to tell you all about her, all about my new girl
(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)
And I can't wait for you to hear me shout it, all about my new girl
(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
Hey
You're the type of girl that any guy would die for
That's the way it looks and I'm really glad you think so
So concerned with friends and your popularity
That you never even took the time to see the real me
Well I can't wait to tell you all about her, all about my new girl
(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)
And I can't wait for you to hear me shout it, all about my new girl
(He can't wait to tell you about his new girl)
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
So I've got a, I got a new girl
He can't wait to tell you about
He can't wait to tell you about
He can't wait to tell you about
He can't wait to tell you about

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/

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.
