try to swim, keep your head up
kick your feet, never give up, boy
if I could I'd turn it around
let me out, I wanna get out now
you know it gets so deep [...]
you know it

you know it, you're feeling so deep
but if you make it out, it tastes so sweet
sweet
sweet

I'm so high, I wanna come down
I'm so old to wanna be younger now
if I could I'd turn it around
let me out, I wanna go home now

you know the feeling, when you're in too deep
and if you make it out, the taste so sweet
sweet
sweet

cover me, cover me, cover me
till I'm gone
cover me, cover me, cover me
till I'm gone
cover me, cover me, cover me
till I'm gone
gone

you know the feeling, when you're in too deep
and if you make it out, it tastes so sweet
sweet
sweet

I miss, make it oh yeah

    No...this is 1000% about Dave's son and watching him learn how to swim.

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.

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.
