I just wanna get a little bit
(Gladwin you're an angel)

I just wanna get a little bit
Just enough to get a nigga clean
I just wanna get a little bit (I just wanna get a little bit)
I've been grinding but I'm never seen
Slowly drowning in the river and (Slowly drowning in the river and)
Doesn't seem like I will ever breath
I just wanna get a little bit (I just wanna get a little bit)
I ain't here for what I'll never need

Man to really tell the truth I've been thinking hard and
I've remained true to the vision mom had
I became schooled in the rhythm with tools
I would never reuse when I needed more help
I been living under rules that were here to fault me
I have been brewed by the shit I can't have
What can you do homie
I remain screwed you will never be the dude if you living off scraps

I just wanna get a little bit
I'm just tryna get a little cream
While I watch 'em getting rid of it
What I'd do to nibble at the seams
I'm just tryna be considerate
Starting to look like I will never eat
Pray to Jesus to deliver it
I pray the lord will let a nigga dream

I just wanna get a little bit
Just enough to get a nigga clean
I just wanna get a little bit (I just wanna get a little bit)
I've been grinding but I'm never seen
Slowly drowning in the river and (Slowly drowning in the river and)
Doesn't seem like I will ever breath
I just wanna get a little bit (I just wanna get a little bit)
I ain't here for what I'll never need

I just wanna get a little bit
Little me thought I'd live a dream
Now I feel like such an idiot
Let me be set a nigga free
Don't bleed little nigga don't bleed
You may be weak but they never gon' see
I am in need but my head is on sleeves
I ain't believe when they said I won't feed
Devil won't sleep man the devil won't sleep
I have been bleak I have treaded on knee
I have seen heat rip & sever both feet
I can relieve it's forever gon' be
What I'm headed for speaks through the hell that I've peeped
The grief the pain the dumps defeat
It's deep the hate
I long for the day that I receive just a piece of the love
That I never got to keep but I breathed in abundance
To all who were in need I'm pleading
Not for everything just enough for me to eat

I just wanna get a little bit
Just enough to get a nigga clean
I just wanna get a little bit (I just wanna get a little bit)
I've been grinding but I'm never seen
Slowly drowning in the river and
Doesn't seem like I will ever breath
I just wanna get a little bit
I ain't here for what I'll never need
I just wanna get a little bit

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
