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.
You're so impossible
Scream and moan, it chills my soul
Don't want to hear you got left behind
All those times you stayed up and cried
It's no lie, you did it to yourself
Like chewed up gum under my shoe
Don't look surprised, you must've known all along
It's just another love song
Another love song
It's never easy, it's not hard
When you've lost your mind
With you it's sleazy
Don't tell me your worries
I'm sick, I'll leave you blind
Now the time has come
To leave this love that's left you dry
No need to work this out now
'Cause you know there's no reason why
It's just another love song
Another love song
Another love song
It's just another love song
I never told you it would last forever
You can't hold this boy for long, dig it
By the time you read my letter
Baby, I'll be gone
You're just another love song
Another love song
Another love song
You're just another love song
You're just another love song
Another love song
Another love song
You're just another love song
"This is W.O.m.b, the Womb
And if you, my pets, learn to listen
I'll let you crawl back in
Here is something you should drop to your knees for, and worship
But you are too stupid to realize yourselves"
Scream and moan, it chills my soul
Don't want to hear you got left behind
All those times you stayed up and cried
It's no lie, you did it to yourself
Like chewed up gum under my shoe
Don't look surprised, you must've known all along
It's just another love song
Another love song
It's never easy, it's not hard
When you've lost your mind
With you it's sleazy
Don't tell me your worries
I'm sick, I'll leave you blind
Now the time has come
To leave this love that's left you dry
No need to work this out now
'Cause you know there's no reason why
It's just another love song
Another love song
Another love song
It's just another love song
I never told you it would last forever
You can't hold this boy for long, dig it
By the time you read my letter
Baby, I'll be gone
You're just another love song
Another love song
Another love song
You're just another love song
You're just another love song
Another love song
Another love song
You're just another love song
"This is W.O.m.b, the Womb
And if you, my pets, learn to listen
I'll let you crawl back in
Here is something you should drop to your knees for, and worship
But you are too stupid to realize yourselves"

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical

Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
