Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I know your face, I know your smile and how it plays
Into the minds of those who cling to every word you say.
This isn't how I wanted to remember me and you.
Your eyes are talking but your lips are standing still.
Open your mouth, tell me how I'm supposed to feel.
My finger pointing is just a warning so I suggest you...
Say you're wrong,
Lets get this over I would like to get some sleep tonight
Lets get this over, I'd like to get some sleep tonight,
Lets get this over. I'm done with all your lies.
You make it hard for me to leave, so very hard for me to leave.
By now the lies you told are weighing on your chest,
If I provide the rope I know you'll do the rest.
But I will not be an accessory, no I'm not who you think and I
Will never be your enemy so don't insult me.
Say you're wrong,
This could be easier if I was over her,
So say you're wrong. (Say you're wrong)
I know she's just a girl but she's got me standing on the edge,
I'm on the edge of the world.
My eyes are open for the first time,
This planks not yours, it's in my own eye.
My eyes are open for the first time,
This planks not yours, it's in my own eye.
I am not a man who a life as soilders, but
I am not the kind of man who walks away.
I will stand face to face and toe to toe with anyone,
Yes anyone.
Everything you said about me was the truth but I just don't think that I can look at you the same.
You're like a splinter that will never show its head to anyone, to anyone.
Now I know that I was not the man you wanted,
You know I loved you and I wanted to make you proud.
My intentions were to never give myself to anyone,
Look what I've done.
Just look what I've done.
My intentions were to never give myself to anyone,
Look what I've done.
Into the minds of those who cling to every word you say.
This isn't how I wanted to remember me and you.
Your eyes are talking but your lips are standing still.
Open your mouth, tell me how I'm supposed to feel.
My finger pointing is just a warning so I suggest you...
Say you're wrong,
Lets get this over I would like to get some sleep tonight
Lets get this over, I'd like to get some sleep tonight,
Lets get this over. I'm done with all your lies.
You make it hard for me to leave, so very hard for me to leave.
By now the lies you told are weighing on your chest,
If I provide the rope I know you'll do the rest.
But I will not be an accessory, no I'm not who you think and I
Will never be your enemy so don't insult me.
Say you're wrong,

So say you're wrong. (Say you're wrong)
I know she's just a girl but she's got me standing on the edge,

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
"My finger pointing's just a warning so I suggest you say you're wrong."
