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”
To wake up and be here, means one more year
I've been longing for that road
And if it means that road be marked with what i fear, then i say "bring on the suffering"
But surely i'll be walking, and i sure as hell can't drive unless you
Come along for the ride
Leave it all behind, leave it all ruins
For all I care, for all we care
Don't look back just keep driving
Don't stop now just keep striving
Don't say, that we've seen better days
Cause we haven't seen a thing (we haven't seen a thing)
And at the break of day, in our case new (?)
We'll scale that open road
Cause here the hopeless strive, and all our dreams are shot out of the sky
But they won't die, if we
Don't look back just keep driving
Don't stop now just keep striving
Don't say, that we've seen better days
Cause we haven't seen a thing
Someday when we're just a myth in town, I want you to know
I want you to remember
That friends do last forever, last forever
So don't you ever change, no
Don't look back just keep driving
Don't stop now just keep striving
Don't say, that we've seen better days
Cause we haven't seen a thing
Doo doo do do do doo (yeah)
Doo doo do do do doo (we haven't seen a thing)
Doo doo do do do doo (yeaaa)
Doo doo do do do doo (yeaaah)
I've been longing for that road
And if it means that road be marked with what i fear, then i say "bring on the suffering"
But surely i'll be walking, and i sure as hell can't drive unless you
Come along for the ride
Leave it all behind, leave it all ruins
For all I care, for all we care
Don't look back just keep driving
Don't stop now just keep striving
Don't say, that we've seen better days
Cause we haven't seen a thing (we haven't seen a thing)
And at the break of day, in our case new (?)
We'll scale that open road
Cause here the hopeless strive, and all our dreams are shot out of the sky
But they won't die, if we
Don't look back just keep driving
Don't stop now just keep striving
Don't say, that we've seen better days
Cause we haven't seen a thing
Someday when we're just a myth in town, I want you to know
I want you to remember
That friends do last forever, last forever
So don't you ever change, no
Don't look back just keep driving
Don't stop now just keep striving
Don't say, that we've seen better days
Cause we haven't seen a thing
Doo doo do do do doo (yeah)
Doo doo do do do doo (we haven't seen a thing)
Doo doo do do do doo (yeaaa)
Doo doo do do do doo (yeaaah)

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 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.

I know I got the "and at the break of day..." part wrong...I couldn't figure out what he was saying.
