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.
Got caught up in your eyes,
got caught up in your thighs
when we first kissed at the cemetery,
but now our eyes are getting dimmer,
and our legs are getting slimmer.
Some days I don’t understand you at all.
And I could give you anything you need.
I could give you anything you need,
and I could give you anything you need,
but I won’t give you everything you want.
My hands have pulled you back,
a furnace on the mountain top.
My lips were nervous,
you said we’ll bounce if we see the cops.
Thought all the dirt would blow away,
before we ever stopped,
making love in the grass.
And I could steal you anything you need.
I could steal you anything you need,
and I could steal you anything you need,
but I won’t steal you everything you need.
(Speech in Foreign[?] Language. Lyrics?)
Tire swing you take me higher than I’d ever swung.
Gardener witch plant, and palm blossoms on my tongue.
Fucking and fighting louder than you’ve ever sung,
and you’re still beautiful to me.
And I could grow you anything you need.
I could grow you anything you need,
and I could grow you anything you need,
but I won’t grow you everything you want.
got caught up in your thighs
when we first kissed at the cemetery,
but now our eyes are getting dimmer,
and our legs are getting slimmer.
Some days I don’t understand you at all.
And I could give you anything you need.
I could give you anything you need,
and I could give you anything you need,
but I won’t give you everything you want.
My hands have pulled you back,
a furnace on the mountain top.
My lips were nervous,
you said we’ll bounce if we see the cops.
Thought all the dirt would blow away,
before we ever stopped,
making love in the grass.
And I could steal you anything you need.
I could steal you anything you need,
and I could steal you anything you need,
but I won’t steal you everything you need.
(Speech in Foreign[?] Language. Lyrics?)
Tire swing you take me higher than I’d ever swung.
Gardener witch plant, and palm blossoms on my tongue.
Fucking and fighting louder than you’ve ever sung,
and you’re still beautiful to me.
And I could grow you anything you need.
I could grow you anything you need,
and I could grow you anything you need,
but I won’t grow you everything you want.

“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.
I'm aware this is a Mark Gunnery song as well. I may be wrong in a few spots as well. One of my favorite songs though.
