This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
If I touched myself
The way you touched me
If I could hold myself
The way you held me
[Chorus]
Then I wouldn't need you
I wouldn't need you
No, I wouldn't need you
To love me
If I could replace
The things you gave me
If I could see my face
Without the tragedy
[Chorus]
But I do
So come back
Come back
If you could see the way I act
When I'm alone
If you could hear my voice crack
Over the phone
Oh and I need you
Oh and I need you
To love me
The way you touched me
If I could hold myself
The way you held me
[Chorus]
Then I wouldn't need you
I wouldn't need you
No, I wouldn't need you
To love me
If I could replace
The things you gave me
If I could see my face
Without the tragedy
[Chorus]
But I do
So come back
Come back
If you could see the way I act
When I'm alone
If you could hear my voice crack
Over the phone
Oh and I need you
Oh and I need you
To love me

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
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.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I agree that it seems dirty, but I think it's also very intimate. Aside from that, though, I absolutely adore this song. It's probably one of my favorites from the album. I especially love "If you could hear my voice crack over the phone." There's something so emotional about that particular line.
