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.
I know tonight she comes
She's taken a swipe at fun
She gives me a reason
The sight in my sights
Well I know tonight she comes
She channels me up
She does it with ease
And sometimes she passes through me
Just like a breeze
She gives me a reason
For feeling alright, oh well
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) she comes
I know she's gonna to stay implanted
In my mind
Why does she keep me hanging
On the line
I know she going to do it to me
One more time (one more time)
I know she gonna to stay implanted
In my mind
Oh, why does she keep me hanging
On the line, oh yeah
I know the way that she feels
And all of the hearts that she steals
She tells me it's easy
When you do it right, oh well
I know tonight she comes
She tells me it's easy
When you do it right
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) she comes
I know tonight (I know tonight)
Oh yeah (I know tonight)
Well, I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) tonight she comes
She's taken a swipe at fun
She gives me a reason
The sight in my sights
Well I know tonight she comes
She channels me up
She does it with ease
And sometimes she passes through me
Just like a breeze
She gives me a reason
For feeling alright, oh well
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) she comes
I know she's gonna to stay implanted
In my mind
Why does she keep me hanging
On the line
I know she going to do it to me
One more time (one more time)
I know she gonna to stay implanted
In my mind
Oh, why does she keep me hanging
On the line, oh yeah
I know the way that she feels
And all of the hearts that she steals
She tells me it's easy
When you do it right, oh well
I know tonight she comes
She tells me it's easy
When you do it right
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) she comes
I know tonight (I know tonight)
Oh yeah (I know tonight)
Well, I know tonight
(Know tonight) (I know tonight) tonight she comes

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

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.
It's strange that everyone with the correct interpretation is being downvoted. Stop being so innocent, folks. This song is about a woman having an orgasm.
