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.
[Verse 1:]
It all started off hanging out.
Doing what lovers do, well on their way to falling in love.
Everybody said leave you alone, girl he's no good for you.
But they can't judge what they don't know.
[Hook:]
Cause when Im with you your all I see.
And when you touch me my body goes weak.
Your such a part of my identity.
That without you there's no me (Nooooo).
[Chorus:]
What were my dreams are now reality.
You say all the thing's that I'm about to speak.
No one could ever change the way I feel.
Baby it's you and me against the world.
It's ride or die til the very end.
Til the tire's pop, I'll be your second skin.
Your my man no doubt that I'm your girl.
Baby it's you and me against the world.
[Verse 2:]
They can hate on us if they choose.
No matter what they do, it's gonna be me and you forever.
The way you love me is unnatural.
Like I'm the only girl who is existing in your world.
[Hook:]
I can't picture my life without you.
You been by my side the whole way through.
They chance's I'll find somebody almost like you.
Is a million to one, so this battle is won.
[Chorus:]
What were my dreams are now reality.
You say all the thing's that I'm about to speak.
No one could ever change the way I feel.
Baby it's you and me against the world.
It's ride or die til the very end.
Til the tire's pop, I'll be your second skin.
Your my man no doubt that I'm your girl.
Baby it's you and me against the world

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

“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.
