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"
The stars look like satellites
Married to the moon tonight
Looking down on you.
I never thought that a fallen grace
I would see your face in another space
I don't like this place
Tomorrow came too soon.
And everything I did was not enough (was not enough)
And everything I did for you.
Crash back down
It's too late for goodbye
It's too late for goodbye
Because the lights are burning out
It too late for goodbye
So dont wait for goodbye
Because the lights are burning out
(its too late, its too late)
The stars look like city lights
that glitter in the sky tonight
shining down on you
I never thought in a milion years
Through a thousand tears
and a life of fears
That the end was here
Tomorrows burning thorugh
But everything I did was not enough (was not enough)
And everything I did for you.
Crash back down
It's too late for goodbye
It's too late for goodbye
Because the lights are burning out (don't wait tonight)
It's too late for goodbye
so dont wait for goodbye
because the lights are burning out (don't wait tonight)
And I'll blame myself for writing these words that I never said to you
Deep breaths and hesitating, but the city lights remind me of you
And I hate myself for saving these letters that never came to you
Once done there's nothing changing in you. (this is totally wrong but I don't know what to write here:P)
It's too late for goodbye
It's too late for goodbye
Because the lights are burning out (don't wait tonight)
It's too late for goodbye
So dont wait for goodbye
Because the lights are burning out (don't wait tonight)
The stars look like sattelites
Married to the moon tonight
Lookin down on you
Married to the moon tonight
Looking down on you.
I never thought that a fallen grace
I would see your face in another space
I don't like this place
Tomorrow came too soon.
And everything I did was not enough (was not enough)
And everything I did for you.
Crash back down
It's too late for goodbye
It's too late for goodbye
Because the lights are burning out
It too late for goodbye
So dont wait for goodbye
Because the lights are burning out
(its too late, its too late)
The stars look like city lights
that glitter in the sky tonight
shining down on you
I never thought in a milion years
Through a thousand tears
and a life of fears
That the end was here
Tomorrows burning thorugh
But everything I did was not enough (was not enough)
And everything I did for you.
Crash back down
It's too late for goodbye
It's too late for goodbye
Because the lights are burning out (don't wait tonight)
It's too late for goodbye
so dont wait for goodbye
because the lights are burning out (don't wait tonight)
And I'll blame myself for writing these words that I never said to you
Deep breaths and hesitating, but the city lights remind me of you
And I hate myself for saving these letters that never came to you
Once done there's nothing changing in you. (this is totally wrong but I don't know what to write here:P)
It's too late for goodbye
It's too late for goodbye
Because the lights are burning out (don't wait tonight)
It's too late for goodbye
So dont wait for goodbye
Because the lights are burning out (don't wait tonight)
The stars look like sattelites
Married to the moon tonight
Lookin down on 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.

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.
