This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
All things pass with time
Old trends, old friends
Fitting for the month that Michael died
Buried in a stone cold riverbed, where the water divides
Oh come colder weather
Oh come something better please
All things freeze with time
Clear skies, dry eyes
Am I colder than the air in this town
I have been a stone cold riverbed, if still I am alive
But maybe
Someday
Maybe you'll forgive me
Because I've been a mayday son
I'm withered, weathered by the setting sun of your summer
If I could be anyone
These days I'd be someone different
So I could hold you now
But you slip away like a changing maple leaf
And try to find any dry land that I can
For the last time, though I have loved you
You keep slippin' away, slippin' away and I am finished with
All the chaos and the ticking clock
The college life, the bomb that drops
And blows the whole damn thing to bits
Freezing are my fingertips in this cold
In this cold, cold town
We make such different people
Climbing into different beds at night
With both such different feelings
Mine are overwhelming, are yours
I might be screaming while you're
Dreaming without any concern
It took so long for me to find
That I can't try anymore
And if I said I'm sorry
Too many times before it's 'cause I
Just wanted desperately to make you love me
Darling, if the sun could shine in
Brighter than all your distractions
I would climb in to help
And light myself on fire
Old trends, old friends
Fitting for the month that Michael died
Buried in a stone cold riverbed, where the water divides
Oh come colder weather
Oh come something better please
All things freeze with time
Clear skies, dry eyes
Am I colder than the air in this town
I have been a stone cold riverbed, if still I am alive
But maybe
Someday
Maybe you'll forgive me
Because I've been a mayday son
I'm withered, weathered by the setting sun of your summer
If I could be anyone
These days I'd be someone different
So I could hold you now
But you slip away like a changing maple leaf
And try to find any dry land that I can
For the last time, though I have loved you
You keep slippin' away, slippin' away and I am finished with
All the chaos and the ticking clock
The college life, the bomb that drops
And blows the whole damn thing to bits
Freezing are my fingertips in this cold
In this cold, cold town
We make such different people
Climbing into different beds at night
With both such different feelings
Mine are overwhelming, are yours
I might be screaming while you're
Dreaming without any concern
It took so long for me to find
That I can't try anymore
And if I said I'm sorry
Too many times before it's 'cause I
Just wanted desperately to make you love me
Darling, if the sun could shine in
Brighter than all your distractions
I would climb in to help
And light myself on fire

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 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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
