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”
So you've packed up all your makeup
And you grabbed your magazines
And you're leaving in the morning
On a plane
I guess I've taken you for granted I guess I messed this up again
I think I've finally learned my lesson but too late
One thing always leads to another
One foot slips and down goes the other one and one is two but it's just me
So until you're here
[Chorus]
I'm waiting, I'm waiting here
I'm waiting any day any night anyplace anytime all right and I made the bed I lay in
But I shoud've called the maid
Such a heavy-handed lover, such a shame
I'm not too proud to say I'm sorry
If it'd bring you back again
If it'd mother all the orphans in my head
And one things always leads to another
So until you're here
[Chorus]
She's setting like a sun on the horizon
I'm running through the fields to chase her down
I'd stare into the sun 'til I'm blinded
Just hoping for a glimpse of where she's bound
I'd rather lose my sight than all my feeling
I'm better when I feel my way around
I'm better when I got you there beside me
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
[Chorus]
I'll try to remember forever and ever
Is only as long as you plan to stay here
So come and remind me if you get the time
Any day, any sight, anyplace, anytime
And you grabbed your magazines
And you're leaving in the morning
On a plane
I guess I've taken you for granted I guess I messed this up again
I think I've finally learned my lesson but too late
One thing always leads to another
One foot slips and down goes the other one and one is two but it's just me
So until you're here
[Chorus]
I'm waiting, I'm waiting here
I'm waiting any day any night anyplace anytime all right and I made the bed I lay in
But I shoud've called the maid
Such a heavy-handed lover, such a shame
I'm not too proud to say I'm sorry
If it'd bring you back again
If it'd mother all the orphans in my head
And one things always leads to another
So until you're here
[Chorus]
She's setting like a sun on the horizon
I'm running through the fields to chase her down
I'd stare into the sun 'til I'm blinded
Just hoping for a glimpse of where she's bound
I'd rather lose my sight than all my feeling
I'm better when I feel my way around
I'm better when I got you there beside me
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
[Chorus]
I'll try to remember forever and ever
Is only as long as you plan to stay here
So come and remind me if you get the time
Any day, any sight, anyplace, anytime

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.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
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.
sob This song is so sad. Yeah right, its just about how a guy is willing to sacrifice everything for a girl, even if he waits forever^^ The tune is so catchy.
