Their arms
They reach
They branch
Like they're trying to catch me
They stand so tirelessly
Outgrown the sides of roads
All mixed in gold
This summer has me...
This summer has me sold
I see the hints
Just picture it,
Craving to witness
But we blinked and missed it
Beg to the sky, long days and old night

Here we are, rooted deep, looking up. So sun sweet...
Until the fall we lose it all...
Here we are

Thin and bare
Stuck in a stiff stare
I wait up in the air,
That makes it all fair
We stop and grow and stop and grow.
We coexist,
Flourished
And sun-kissed
Anything you'd like,
Your backroad eyes,
They're getting dry,
An unnatural smile.
You're lost in this place, I see it in your face...

Here we are, rooted deep, looking up. So sun sweet...
Until the fall we lose it all...
Here we are

... So lost in it

    The song is simply gorgeous. We're all trees, growing in the summer until the fall when we change our colors and it leaves us bare. In the summer we grow again. "We stop and grow and stop and grow."

    Then top it off with a beautiful montage to bring a close to an amazing album.

    VersaEmerge is a beyond awesome band that doesn't get enough credit. Love them. <3

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
“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 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.
