Yes, I am blind , no I can't see
The good things, just the bad things, oh
Yes, I am blind, no I can't see
There must be something horribly wrong with me

God, come down if You're really there
Well, You're the one who claims to care

Love's young dream
I'm the one who shopped you
I'm the one who stopped you
'Cause in my sorry way I love you

Love's young dream
Are you sorry for what you've done?
Well, you're not the only one
And in my sorry way I love you

Yes, I am blind but I do see
Evil people prosper over the likes of you and me, always

God, come down if You're really there
Well, You're the one who claims to care

Little lamb on a hill run fast if you can
Good Christians, they wanna kill you
And your life has not even begun
You're just like me, you're just like me

Oh, your life has not even begun
You're just like me, you're just like me
And your life has not even begun
You're just like me, just like me

And your life has not even begun
You're just like me, you're just like, just like me
And your life has not even begun

    My Interpretation

    It's about someone who is blind to the good things in life, and therefore believes that there is something wrong with this person. It's hard to always be the one who's not laughing and joking around like all the other people, so the person ask god for help. The person doesn't really believe in god: "if you're really there", but is so desperate for help, for someone who claims to care about all people in the world. I think that the little lamb refers to someone being very innocent, vulnerable and shy and the good christians is all the other people in the world who is getting this help from god. And this person (the lamb) is very young, but also has a hard time seeing the good things in life so therefore he's/she's just like the fist person. But that's just how I see it...

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.
