This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
She looks smiley
He looks friendly
You maybe nice
Don't know who I am
She is talkative
He is whiner
You are innocent
Don't know how I am
She keeps talking
He keeps begging
You are stainless
But I keep driving
Though I know you're the one
who would end this rain
You make me
feel like changing
That only makes me annoyed
Cause Grab it steal it
beat them down
That's all I've learned
You are innocent
You are stainless
You're my best friend
so I'll tell you this
You're an angel
Let me feel good
Let me feel I am still alive
I have learned my instinct is
hiding background
Though no one knows
But I keep denying
Cause the world is
lonesome enough to me
and the world is crazy
enough to me
It keeps turning 'round
and 'round and
leaves me behind
I say the world is
lonesome enough
I say the world is
lonesome enough
<>
When I've got a feeling
that I am behind
I balme myself
to have expected
The way you see it through
your eyes could be
different slight
Cause the world is lonesome
enough to me
and the world is crazy
enough to me
It keeps turning 'round and
'round and leaves me behind
I say the world is
lonesome enough
I say the world is
lonesome enough
You make me
feel like changing
That only makes me annoyed
Cause Grab it steal it
beat them down
That's all I've learned
the world is lonesome
enough to me
and the world is crazy
enough to me
It keeps turning 'round and
'round and leaves me behind
I say the world is
lonesome enough
the world is lonesome
enough to me
and the world is crazy
enough to me
It keeps turning 'round and
'round and leaves me behind
I say the world is
lonesome enough
I say the world is
lonesome enough
He looks friendly

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Great Song!
Like the title said, it's about being lonesome.
