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.
Catch you
You create misery
Have your cake and eat it
Take your place in history
And pray we don't repeat it
Call it faith,
call it back,
call it off
Don't call me later
Lay your head in your bed
It's just how they made it
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm coming
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way start running
I'm gonna catch you
It's your day believe it
It's your date with destiny
It's too late to leave it
After all it's your
it's your party
Call it luck, call it faith,
call me beautiful to my face
Call it out to my surprise
It's just how they made it
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm coming
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way start running
I'm gonna catch you
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm coming
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way start running
I'm gonna catch you
Catch you
Catch you
You create misery
Have your cake and eat it
Take your place in history
And pray we don't repeat it
Call it faith,
call it back,
call it off
Don't call me later
Lay your head in your bed
It's just how they made it
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm coming
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way start running
I'm gonna catch you
It's your day believe it
It's your date with destiny
It's too late to leave it
After all it's your
it's your party
Call it luck, call it faith,
call me beautiful to my face
Call it out to my surprise
It's just how they made it
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm coming
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way start running
I'm gonna catch you
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm coming
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way I'm running
I'm gonna catch you if I can
Out of my way start running
I'm gonna catch you
Catch you
Catch you

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.
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/
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.
one of the best songs I've heard lately. This one is just great.
