This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I was twelve when daddy said to me
"Don't take to drinking, boy, that road don't lead no where"
And don't you ever let me hear you swear
Don't you dare
He told me that stealing is a lazy man's way
Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay, so don't buy in
Then you can look the whole world in the eye
Honey, I've tried
But since I met you girl I've been breaking every rule
I must confess I'm just a back sliding fool
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear I'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I want to lie here close to you, look at what you made me do
Darling, you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
Last night I threw away the twelve-step book
I finally faced the fact that I am hooked on you
There's nothing more that I can do, ain't no use
'Cause every time I see your angel face
My halo disappears without a trace, I swear
Girl, I'd admit I haven't got a prayer
But I don't care
Well, I know this ain't exactly how I was raised
But heaven help me honey, I ain't changing my ways
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear I'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I want to lie here close to you, look at what you made me do
Darling you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear I'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I want to lie here close to you, look at what you made me do
Darling you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
Drink, swear, steal and lie
"Don't take to drinking, boy, that road don't lead no where"
And don't you ever let me hear you swear
Don't you dare
He told me that stealing is a lazy man's way
Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay, so don't buy in
Then you can look the whole world in the eye
Honey, I've tried
But since I met you girl I've been breaking every rule
I must confess I'm just a back sliding fool
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear I'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I want to lie here close to you, look at what you made me do
Darling, you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
Last night I threw away the twelve-step book
I finally faced the fact that I am hooked on you
There's nothing more that I can do, ain't no use
'Cause every time I see your angel face
My halo disappears without a trace, I swear
Girl, I'd admit I haven't got a prayer
But I don't care
Well, I know this ain't exactly how I was raised
But heaven help me honey, I ain't changing my ways
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear I'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I want to lie here close to you, look at what you made me do
Darling you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear I'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I want to lie here close to you, look at what you made me do
Darling you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
Drink, swear, steal and lie

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/
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.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
