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”
Your always waiting on the tides
It's time you decide
I've walked down long roads that seem to have no end at all
You never wanted time to end
To let my life offend
It's time to realize what hides deep inside holy eyes
Hold on tight Hold on fast
This ain't the kind that always lasts
If you want me to go just ask me
To go I'd go
All the way my love over the hills and
Right on to you Run away my love
Over the hills and right on through you
Over the hills and right on through you
Lying awake in these restless dreams
Life's never what it seems
I've always tried to read your eyes
To get inside that scornful mind
Hold on tight Hold on fast
This ain't the kind that always lasts
If you want me to go just ask me
To go I'd go
All the way my love over the hills
And right on through you- all the
Way my love over the hills and right
On through you....
I was with you- that pallet
Steaming spinning round in circles
Dreaming I was with you on that
Pallet steaming running round in
Circles screaming
All the way my love over the hills and
Right on to you Run away my love
Over the hills and right on through you
Over the hills and right on through you
Lying awake in these restless dreams
Life's never what it seems
I've always tried to read your eyes
To get inside that scornful mind
Hold on tight Hold on fast
This ain't the kind that always lasts
If you want me to go just ask me
To go I'd go
It's time you decide
I've walked down long roads that seem to have no end at all
You never wanted time to end
To let my life offend
It's time to realize what hides deep inside holy eyes
Hold on tight Hold on fast
This ain't the kind that always lasts
If you want me to go just ask me
To go I'd go
All the way my love over the hills and
Right on to you Run away my love
Over the hills and right on through you
Over the hills and right on through you
Lying awake in these restless dreams
Life's never what it seems
I've always tried to read your eyes
To get inside that scornful mind
Hold on tight Hold on fast
This ain't the kind that always lasts
If you want me to go just ask me
To go I'd go
All the way my love over the hills
And right on through you- all the
Way my love over the hills and right
On through you....
I was with you- that pallet
Steaming spinning round in circles
Dreaming I was with you on that
Pallet steaming running round in
Circles screaming
All the way my love over the hills and
Right on to you Run away my love
Over the hills and right on through you
Over the hills and right on through you
Lying awake in these restless dreams
Life's never what it seems
I've always tried to read your eyes
To get inside that scornful mind
Hold on tight Hold on fast
This ain't the kind that always lasts
If you want me to go just ask me
To go I'd go

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
