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”
A part of me you have
A part of me you hold
Apart from me you stand
And there's parts that you had stole
You collect them in the cupboards
Like the pieces of the puzzle
And nest just like a mother
In the dampness of your sweater
It's never put together
As I've watched you from the window
Behind the curtains, winter
Moves slowly as a feather
To wrap around you tightly
As lovers will in meadows
To fall in love with shadows
Where the snow is all but melted
And It's never put together
It's never put together
Behind the curtains, winter
Falls slowly as a feather
The part of you I have
The part of you I hide
The parts of you I hold
The parts you left behind
Call on me
I'll be there always
And call on me
I'll be there always
And call on me
I'll be there always
Call on me
I'll be there always
Call on me
I'll be there always
Part of me you have
A part of me you hold
Apart from me you stand
And there's parts that you had stole
The part of you I have
The part of you I hide
The parts of you I stole
The parts you left behind
A part of me you hold
Apart from me you stand
And there's parts that you had stole
You collect them in the cupboards
Like the pieces of the puzzle
And nest just like a mother
In the dampness of your sweater
It's never put together
As I've watched you from the window
Behind the curtains, winter
Moves slowly as a feather
To wrap around you tightly
As lovers will in meadows
To fall in love with shadows
Where the snow is all but melted
And It's never put together
It's never put together
Behind the curtains, winter
Falls slowly as a feather
The part of you I have
The part of you I hide
The parts of you I hold
The parts you left behind
Call on me
I'll be there always
And call on me
I'll be there always
And call on me
I'll be there always
Call on me
I'll be there always
Call on me
I'll be there always
Part of me you have
A part of me you hold
Apart from me you stand
And there's parts that you had stole
The part of you I have
The part of you I hide
The parts of you I stole
The parts you left behind

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.
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/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Love this song! Absolutely love this album.
