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”
See my both hands tied
beneath our freezing sky
guess my fortune's out
silent dream silent shout
clock tick slower now
Armageddon creeping on
I'm waiting for the dawn to come and
free my soul
But it's you, I see my love come shining
through
but it's so hard trying to get close to you
I see my only love tied in a tear
and it's so hard to get close to you
Rain of needles and pain
thunder of howling train
scream my name, rise again
shine again, get on track again
and I like the fact that I'm getting old
and
I don't know what to do when all I need is
you close to my heart
But It's you, I see my love come shining
through
but it's so hard trying to get close to you
I see my only love tied in a tear
and it's so hard to get close to you
When you're lonely I'll be there for you
If you only would let me through
When you're lost I'll guide you're way
If only you could hear my prayer
When you're lonely I'll be there for you
If only you would lead me through
When you're lost I'll guide your way
If only you could hear my prayer
I'm the rain when your well has dried
If only you could me mine
beneath our freezing sky
guess my fortune's out
silent dream silent shout
clock tick slower now
Armageddon creeping on
I'm waiting for the dawn to come and
free my soul
But it's you, I see my love come shining
through
but it's so hard trying to get close to you
I see my only love tied in a tear
and it's so hard to get close to you
Rain of needles and pain
thunder of howling train
scream my name, rise again
shine again, get on track again
and I like the fact that I'm getting old
and
I don't know what to do when all I need is
you close to my heart
But It's you, I see my love come shining
through
but it's so hard trying to get close to you
I see my only love tied in a tear
and it's so hard to get close to you
When you're lonely I'll be there for you
If you only would let me through
When you're lost I'll guide you're way
If only you could hear my prayer
When you're lonely I'll be there for you
If only you would lead me through
When you're lost I'll guide your way
If only you could hear my prayer
I'm the rain when your well has dried
If only you could me mine

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'

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

“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.
