This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading slowly fading into you
and keep on stop your waiting
keep on stop your waiting
don’t you keep on waiting cause i’m walking away from you
well, we could all change
but i know that you will never change
you shut up the night and when the light hits
you talk to me
i was never so amazed
it was such a mutual craze
between you and me and me and you
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading slowly fading into you
and keep on stop your waiting
keep on stop your waiting
don’t you keep on waiting cause i’m walking away from you
you could never walk away from me
dance around but never be
you know you are the one who knows that
laugh out loud so here it goes
i was never so amazed
it was such a mutual craze
between you and me and me and you
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading slowly fading into you
and keep on stop your waiting
keep on stop your waiting
don’t you keep on waiting cause i’m walking away from you
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading slowly fading into you
and keep on stop your waiting
keep on stop your waiting
don’t you keep on waiting cause i’m walking away from you
well, we could all change
but i know that you will never change
you shut up the night and when the light hits
you talk to me
i was never so amazed
it was such a mutual craze
between you and me and me and you
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading slowly fading into you
and keep on stop your waiting
keep on stop your waiting
don’t you keep on waiting cause i’m walking away from you
you could never walk away from me
dance around but never be
you know you are the one who knows that
laugh out loud so here it goes
i was never so amazed
it was such a mutual craze
between you and me and me and you
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading slowly fading into you
and keep on stop your waiting
keep on stop your waiting
don’t you keep on waiting cause i’m walking away from you

Just A Little Lovin'

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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
this song is confusing to understand, but in my point of view is that he is getting tired of waiting for his girl to come and be with him and he is slowly fading away...
