This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Hey I'm with you, let me just get you a light
And if we'd thought to listen
We might have checked if the weather was right.
And I don't mind if you want to drive all day.
Hey, it's raining, I should have brought my coat
And sometimes I could sell my soul
Just to sit and watch you smoke.
And I don't mind if you want to break my heart.
'Cause you can burn paper.
You can turn a wheel
But you can't change later
Here and now just how good we can feel.
Hey, stop talking, think I can hear the sea.
And did I tell you the sound of the surf
Makes strange things happen to me
And I don't mind if you want to crash the car.
'Cause you can turn traitor
You can turn on your heels
But you can't change later,
Here and now just how good we can feel.
And hey don't worry, so that black cat's some kind of curse
'Cause if bad times are coming up ahead,
Just put us in reverse.
I don't want to waste time, thinking 'bout it here and now babe
Nothing else matters but what we've got here and now babe
And if we'd thought to listen
We might have checked if the weather was right.
And I don't mind if you want to drive all day.
Hey, it's raining, I should have brought my coat
And sometimes I could sell my soul
Just to sit and watch you smoke.
And I don't mind if you want to break my heart.
'Cause you can burn paper.
You can turn a wheel
But you can't change later
Here and now just how good we can feel.
Hey, stop talking, think I can hear the sea.
And did I tell you the sound of the surf
Makes strange things happen to me
And I don't mind if you want to crash the car.
'Cause you can turn traitor
You can turn on your heels
But you can't change later,
Here and now just how good we can feel.
And hey don't worry, so that black cat's some kind of curse
'Cause if bad times are coming up ahead,
Just put us in reverse.
I don't want to waste time, thinking 'bout it here and now babe
Nothing else matters but what we've got here and now babe

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/

“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.
