In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
What's in your head
You've gotta believe me somehow
Who's in your head now
I think you're crazy how
You run and run around my world
Looking for a reason why I..
Can't walk it off
Can't come clean
A pretty shoe, a dirty soul
A God I lost somehow
You think I'm crazy how
I run and run with no sound
Trippin on my feet again I..
Just lost it all
Just came clean
Hey, just woke up and already I'm a losing
Messed up everything again
Drink up, pass the gun again
Hey, just woke up and already I'm a losing
Messed up everyone again
Someone pass the gun again now
I turn it on, I turn it down
Echoes in my house again
Now the doomsday light let the haunting inside
I turn it up and down again
I want you to know that i'm not scared
Hey, just woke up and already I'm a losing
Messed up everything again
Drink up, pass the gun again
Hey, just woke up and already I'm a losing
Messed up everyone again
Someone pass the gun again
Walk it off
And you'll come clean
Hey, just woke up and already I'm a losing
Messed up everything again
Drink up, pass the gun again
Hey, just woke up and already I'm a losing
Messed up everyone again
Someone pass the gun again, again, again
You've gotta believe me somehow
Who's in your head now
I think you're crazy how
You run and run around my world
Looking for a reason why I..
Can't walk it off
Can't come clean
A pretty shoe, a dirty soul
A God I lost somehow
You think I'm crazy how
I run and run with no sound
Trippin on my feet again I..
Just lost it all
Just came clean
Hey, just woke up and already I'm a losing
Messed up everything again
Drink up, pass the gun again
Hey, just woke up and already I'm a losing
Messed up everyone again
Someone pass the gun again now
I turn it on, I turn it down
Echoes in my house again
Now the doomsday light let the haunting inside
I turn it up and down again
I want you to know that i'm not scared
Hey, just woke up and already I'm a losing
Messed up everything again
Drink up, pass the gun again
Hey, just woke up and already I'm a losing
Messed up everyone again
Someone pass the gun again
Walk it off
And you'll come clean
Hey, just woke up and already I'm a losing
Messed up everything again
Drink up, pass the gun again
Hey, just woke up and already I'm a losing
Messed up everyone again
Someone pass the gun again, again, again

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.

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. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
