I feel so lonely when I'm left alone
And I know
You're having fun
With all the other boys in town.
Why am I the only one?
I'm a first class loser that you don't wanna have around
I keep calling in the dead of night
Until you say you're gonna try treating me right.

Well I know it sounds funny
But I don't wanna be in love
Just wanna piece of the action
And there's no amount of money
That could ever be too much
To get a piece of the action
To get piece of the action
Just wanna piece of the action
Just wanna piece of the action
To get piece of the action.
Little by little I'm beginning to learn
You're many man woman and it's heavy on my mind.
Any time you wanted love
You just snapped your fingers
And it's not very hard to find.
I don't wanna tie you down but it'll
Feel so good with you around.

Well I know it sounds funny
I don't wanna be the life of the party
I just wanna little excitement lay it down.

Well I know it sounds funny
Well I know it sounds funny

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 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.

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 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.
