This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
you light the fire and I'll bring home a smile,
and we'll probably be OK.
Yesterday was fine but tomorrow you'll be mine,
and then every day will stay the same.
How long until you discover,
that the man you broke won't decay?
How long until you recover,
all the memories you threw away?
Take the car and drive as far as possible tonight,
and promise me you'll stay away.
For you'll be wanting more than the love you never saw,
and the motherhood you cast aside in haste.
How long until you discover,
all the lives you broke along the way?
How long until you recover,
and the man you broke walks away?
So you light me fire and I'll bring home a smile,
and we'll probably be OK.
and we'll probably be OK.
Yesterday was fine but tomorrow you'll be mine,
and then every day will stay the same.
How long until you discover,
that the man you broke won't decay?
How long until you recover,
all the memories you threw away?
Take the car and drive as far as possible tonight,
and promise me you'll stay away.
For you'll be wanting more than the love you never saw,
and the motherhood you cast aside in haste.
How long until you discover,
all the lives you broke along the way?
How long until you recover,
and the man you broke walks away?
So you light me fire and I'll bring home a smile,
and we'll probably be OK.

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.
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
