Love is what we got
A terrible mistake
This bedroom is caught on fire
And killed
Two birds with one stone
A terrible love song
You sang it so sweet

If I ever see you again
And this gun is loaded
You'll sleep in hell
You'll sleep in it
If I ever see you again
And this gun is loaded
You'll sleep in hell
You'll sleep in hell

Love is what we lost
We had a connection
This feeling has gone too far
And killed
Two birds with one stone
A terrible love song
You sang it so sweet

If I ever see you again
And this gun is loaded
You'll sleep in hell
You'll sleep in it
If I ever see you again
And this gun is loaded
You'll sleep in hell
You'll sleep in hell

You told me you'd keep this between us
But
If you're so sorry
I hope you're happy
You slung
Your tongue
At me
You're wrong

If I ever see you again
And this gun is loaded
You'll sleep in hell
You'll sleep in it
If I ever see you again
And this gun is loaded
You'll sleep in hell
You'll sleep in hell

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.

Punchline
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.

Plastic Bag
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.
