Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I was free when we met
You were eating a burrito
With a girl some brunette
At El Torosco's
Then you smiled like you knew
That someday we'd be together
And together we were for a while
How do I feel'
Ever since you walked away from me
I miss you for real
Everyday of my life
How do I feel'
Now that it's over
For the thing that I miss the most is missing you
I was lost for a while
Every place brought back a memory
Of a kiss, or a smile
That you gave me
Now it's changed, well, I guess
More and more I miss you less and less
Sometimes it's hard to let go
How do I feel'
Ever since you walked away from me
I miss you for real
Everyday of my life
How do I feel'
Now that it's over
For the thing that I miss the most is missing you
Sometimes you get trapped in the time of your life
But you know it gets a little easier over time (gets a little easier over time)
How do I feel'
Now that it's over
For the thing that I miss the most
I miss the moody
Walks in the rain
I miss the poetry
I miss the days
I miss the sad songs
I used to play
For the thing that I miss the most
How do I feel'
I miss you for real
How do I feel'
Now that it's over
For the thing that I miss the most is missing you
You were eating a burrito
With a girl some brunette
At El Torosco's
Then you smiled like you knew
That someday we'd be together
And together we were for a while
How do I feel'
Ever since you walked away from me
I miss you for real
Everyday of my life
How do I feel'
Now that it's over
For the thing that I miss the most is missing you
I was lost for a while
Every place brought back a memory
Of a kiss, or a smile
That you gave me
Now it's changed, well, I guess
More and more I miss you less and less
Sometimes it's hard to let go
How do I feel'
Ever since you walked away from me
I miss you for real
Everyday of my life
How do I feel'
Now that it's over
For the thing that I miss the most is missing you
Sometimes you get trapped in the time of your life
But you know it gets a little easier over time (gets a little easier over time)
How do I feel'
Now that it's over
For the thing that I miss the most
I miss the moody
Walks in the rain
I miss the poetry
I miss the days
I miss the sad songs
I used to play
For the thing that I miss the most
How do I feel'
I miss you for real
How do I feel'
Now that it's over
For the thing that I miss the most is missing 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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
"But the thing that I miss the most Is missing you"
This is a nice song. Nice in a sense that I had it playing in my head over and over again in the 7th grade. Yeah, the thing that I miss the most is missing him. Its kind of sad. I dont miss him, I just miss waiting for him to come back. KNow what I mean? I didnt think so. No one ever does..
"I was lost for a while Every place brought back a memory Of a kiss or a smile that you gave me Now it's changed Well I guess More and more I miss you Less and less Sometimes it's hard to let you go"
This part describes perfectly how I felt, a while after being left by a girl i really loved.
The whole song is great!!
