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”
Ooo, she plays the drums like a queen
Got the prettiest high-hat cymbal I've ever seen
I could fix a broken bass drum beater
If I had the courage to go up to her and meet her
She gives off sucha soothing vapour
Cooling effect she uses to smooth her temper
Wish I had all she ever needed to give her
Every time I see her I start to shiver
She wraps it up tight and she holds it in
Keeps a funny joke tucked inside her grin
Maybe its behind her wild eyes
Now I know why
I know that there's fuses inside tiger bomb
She is one target that is clearly out of sight
Tiger bomb
I know she's got something, ow!
Mama said that she was a big zero
She proved her mumma wrong at the big rock show
She kicked out a beat that made are feet get busy
A cloud of tom toms that made us all feel dizzy
Now its four in the morning and the show is done
Now I gotta be the strong one
Don't you know its going to hurt me to
Going the opposite direction as you
I know that there's fuses inside tiger bomb
She is one target that clearly out of sight, tiger bomb
I can't X-ray that shell to read her mind tiger bomb
I had to drop my tiger bomb
I had to drop my tiger bomb
I had to drop my tiger bomb
Got the prettiest high-hat cymbal I've ever seen
I could fix a broken bass drum beater
If I had the courage to go up to her and meet her
She gives off sucha soothing vapour
Cooling effect she uses to smooth her temper
Wish I had all she ever needed to give her
Every time I see her I start to shiver
She wraps it up tight and she holds it in
Keeps a funny joke tucked inside her grin
Maybe its behind her wild eyes
Now I know why
I know that there's fuses inside tiger bomb
She is one target that is clearly out of sight
Tiger bomb
I know she's got something, ow!
Mama said that she was a big zero
She proved her mumma wrong at the big rock show
She kicked out a beat that made are feet get busy
A cloud of tom toms that made us all feel dizzy
Now its four in the morning and the show is done
Now I gotta be the strong one
Don't you know its going to hurt me to
Going the opposite direction as you
I know that there's fuses inside tiger bomb
She is one target that clearly out of sight, tiger bomb
I can't X-ray that shell to read her mind tiger bomb
I had to drop my tiger bomb
I had to drop my tiger bomb
I had to drop my tiger bomb

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.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page

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.
