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 thought the rains would never come here
To our valley in the sun
Looking back on days of ease
We would run, so young
And I didn't see this coming
'Til it was right around the bend
Again
You and me could just be crazy
Time ain't on our side
And I need you badly
Of all the others
You had to have me
And now we're running for our lives
And I need you badly
She don't like this feeling
It never lets her go
She wants to be summer
Too cold under the snow
He's convinced there's no reason
For making her sick, says
Treat me like the devil
Heal that little girl
Treats me like an angel fell upon the world
But she don't like the seasons, they're out of her control
Oh no, where can we go
You and me could just be crazy
Time ain't on our side
And I need you badly
Of all the others
You had to have me
And now we're running for our lives
And I need you badly
Yeah I need you badly
To hell with tomorrow it's out of my hand
I hold you up now when you're too damn tired to stand
I don't want to be like you, you don't want to be like me
We just want to run together through the darkness we can breathe
You and me could just be crazy
Time ain't on our side
And I need you badly
Of all the others
You had to have me
And now we're running for our lives
And I need you
She said
The rain is picking on me
The thing is, it always seemed to me
Been around the world but it's you I need
Now were running for our lives
And I need you badly
You and me could just be crazy
Time ain't on our side
And I need you badly
Of all the others
You had to have me
And now we're running for our lives
But I need you
She said
The rain is picking on me
The thing is, it always seemed to me
Been around the world but it's you I need
One by one and this ain't over 'til we're done
Well I got an angel on my shoulder
The devil made me colder
The iron made me bolder
And all I want is life now
All I felt was pain here
All I got is love now
All you need is me
And all I need is you
To our valley in the sun
Looking back on days of ease
We would run, so young
And I didn't see this coming
'Til it was right around the bend
Again
You and me could just be crazy
Time ain't on our side
And I need you badly
Of all the others
You had to have me
And now we're running for our lives
And I need you badly
She don't like this feeling
It never lets her go
She wants to be summer
Too cold under the snow
He's convinced there's no reason
For making her sick, says
Treat me like the devil
Heal that little girl
Treats me like an angel fell upon the world
But she don't like the seasons, they're out of her control
Oh no, where can we go
You and me could just be crazy
Time ain't on our side
And I need you badly
Of all the others
You had to have me
And now we're running for our lives
And I need you badly
Yeah I need you badly
To hell with tomorrow it's out of my hand
I hold you up now when you're too damn tired to stand
I don't want to be like you, you don't want to be like me
We just want to run together through the darkness we can breathe
You and me could just be crazy
Time ain't on our side
And I need you badly
Of all the others
You had to have me
And now we're running for our lives
And I need you
She said
The rain is picking on me
The thing is, it always seemed to me
Been around the world but it's you I need
Now were running for our lives
And I need you badly

All I felt was pain here
All I got is love now
All you need is me
And all I need is 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.
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song is amazing, this is my favorite OAR song ever.
I think this is about a relationship going downhill, And how there is not much time as it could end any moment, but it doesn't matter what surroundings there are, he has to make it work and get over this wall.
the lyrics are incredible, just every word is great
@JaCort16 to add to that, i have another thought that if it's not about a relationship, it's about a relationship where the woman gets sick, maybe cancer and there isn't much time and he just want to live the life to the fullest with the one she loves before it ends......the line the rain is picking on me, the thing is it always seemed to be, is amazing.
@JaCort16 my favorite too
@JaCort16 what do you think it means
