Are you real love?
Am I only dreaming up
Such a true love
I don't wanna pass it up

When your with me
Am I all you're thinking of
Do you see him
Do you try and shut it up

And what am I supposed to say to you
when I'm here and he's not around
Baby how could I be without you now
With out you

Do I take love
and throw it all away
Wait and see love
coming back to me again
when you kiss me
is it really just enough
Or do you miss him
do you try and choke it up

And what am I supposed to say to you
when I'm here and he's not around
baby how could I be without you now
With out you

And what am I supposed to say to you
when I'm here and he's not around
baby how could I be without you now
With out you
with out you

    It's about a girl who's been through a rough relationship; probably got her heart broken. She starts seeing another guy, and hes falling for her, but is constantly wondering if shes moved on from her previous relationship, and is finally allowing herself to give her heart to someone new, despite how hard it may be. Beautiful song. Love the duet.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
