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.
I look at the starlight,
I am shattered by the night
Always run where I can and
I hide where I wanna hide
But it feels so right,
I want it tonight
It feels so right
Oh, I went out of my mind
I am caught here
One more time
I know how it feels tonight
I can do nothing about it
But it feels so right,
I want it tonight
You feel so right
I will wait to love you
I will wait another day
For you I'd leave
All this behind
(Oooh)
I will wait for you tonight
I will waste
Another dream on you
Always run to you, run
I will take the long road
But it leads right back to you
Follow you into the sun
I will steal this time for you
But it feels so right
I want it tonight
You feel so right
Oh, I will wait to love you
I will wait another day
For you I'd leave
All this behind
(Oooh)
I will wait for you tonight
I will waste
Another dream on you
Always run to you
I will wait to love you
I will wait another day
For you I'd leave
All this behind
(Oooh)
I will wait for you tonight
I will waste
Another dream on you
Always run to...you, run
I am shattered by the night
Always run where I can and
I hide where I wanna hide
But it feels so right,
I want it tonight
It feels so right
Oh, I went out of my mind
I am caught here
One more time
I know how it feels tonight
I can do nothing about it
But it feels so right,
I want it tonight
You feel so right
I will wait to love you
I will wait another day
For you I'd leave
All this behind
(Oooh)
I will wait for you tonight
I will waste
Another dream on you
Always run to you, run
I will take the long road
But it leads right back to you
Follow you into the sun
I will steal this time for you
But it feels so right
I want it tonight
You feel so right
Oh, I will wait to love you
I will wait another day
For you I'd leave
All this behind
(Oooh)
I will wait for you tonight
I will waste
Another dream on you
Always run to you
I will wait to love you
I will wait another day
For you I'd leave
All this behind
(Oooh)
I will wait for you tonight
I will waste
Another dream on you
Always run to...you, run

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.
It's "I will waste another dream ON you", not of you. Makes far more sense. Obviously she can't be with this person, not fully, and yes I get the impression it's 'cause they're in a relationship...but she's still holding out for them, even though she knows it's a waste of time, and a waste of a dream, she can't help herself because "I will take the long road, but it leads right back to you." No matter what she does, she can't help but wait for this person. Beautiful song, if very sad.
