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”
in a show of hands
who has said these words before?
In a show of hearts on the floor
who has ever meant them more?
I'll swallow my pride
if you'll stay for the years
and watch me spin circles as i disappear
and hearts they don't lie
they just quiver in fear
as you say, say:
tonight we forget everything
and stay the night
if i was wrong then I'm sorry
I'll stop this fight for the night
and this empty space left in the seat
to my right where you should be says a lot
don't let it say good-bye
don't let it say good-bye, let it say good-bye
forget everything
and stay the night
if i was wrong then I'm sorry
I'll stop this fight for the night
and this empty space left in the seat
to my right where you should be says a lot
and today i know, that tomorrow will shine
golden and rain our hearts back home.
And today i know, that tomorrow will shine
golden and bring our hearts back home.
And today i know, that tomorrow will shine
(and today meant nothing because you're gone,and i swear that...)
golden and bring our hearts back home.
(this meant everything to me, because my heart's not home)
And today i know, that tomorrow will shine
(and today meant nothing because you're gone,and i swear that...)
golden and bring our hearts back home.
(and today meant nothing because you're gone
and I swear that this meant everything to me because my hearts not home)
who has said these words before?
In a show of hearts on the floor
who has ever meant them more?
I'll swallow my pride
if you'll stay for the years
and watch me spin circles as i disappear
and hearts they don't lie
they just quiver in fear
as you say, say:
tonight we forget everything
and stay the night
if i was wrong then I'm sorry
I'll stop this fight for the night
and this empty space left in the seat
to my right where you should be says a lot
don't let it say good-bye
don't let it say good-bye, let it say good-bye
forget everything
and stay the night
if i was wrong then I'm sorry
I'll stop this fight for the night
and this empty space left in the seat
to my right where you should be says a lot
and today i know, that tomorrow will shine
golden and rain our hearts back home.
And today i know, that tomorrow will shine
golden and bring our hearts back home.
And today i know, that tomorrow will shine
(and today meant nothing because you're gone,and i swear that...)
golden and bring our hearts back home.
(this meant everything to me, because my heart's not home)
And today i know, that tomorrow will shine
(and today meant nothing because you're gone,and i swear that...)
golden and bring our hearts back home.
(and today meant nothing because you're gone
and I swear that this meant everything to me because my hearts not home)

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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
"Hearts, they don't lie they just quiver in fear" ....you have no idea how true that really is. Beautiful lyrics. This band is incredible.
