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”
Why?
Sometimes this beauty is choking me,
But at least it's your hands on my throat
Your lashes brush against my cheek,
Coupled with your breath on my neck
The world around you falls away
And I will still be there
I know my words are like daggers
But they cut me too…
And I am sorry for all the fucked up things
I say I didn't mean it
And I never realized that I can be what I hate
Let's be happy with what we have,
Enjoy the beauty in these days
Sometimes we'll laugh
Sometimes we'll scream
No one said caring was easy
I know there was a time when emotions
Felt like pulling teeth
Sometimes I felt so soulless
I couldn't even look at me
It's pathetic to hate who you are
And it feels like hell to change
But I'll be damned if I push you away
And I am sorry for all the fucked up things
I say I didn't mean it
And I never realized that I can be what I hate
Let's be happy with what we have,
Enjoy the beauty in these days
Sometimes we'll laugh
Sometimes we'll scream
No one said caring was easy
I remember when my dreams were dying
And I damned the sun;
I damned the sun to pieces.
I carved hateful thoughts into my chest,
Then you took my hand
And nothing has ever felt the same.
And nothing, has ever...
Nothing has ever felt the same
Sometimes this beauty is choking me,
But at least it's your hands on my throat
Your lashes brush against my cheek,
Coupled with your breath on my neck
The world around you falls away
And I will still be there
I know my words are like daggers
But they cut me too…
And I am sorry for all the fucked up things
I say I didn't mean it
And I never realized that I can be what I hate
Let's be happy with what we have,
Enjoy the beauty in these days
Sometimes we'll laugh
Sometimes we'll scream
No one said caring was easy
I know there was a time when emotions
Felt like pulling teeth
Sometimes I felt so soulless
I couldn't even look at me
It's pathetic to hate who you are
And it feels like hell to change
But I'll be damned if I push you away
And I am sorry for all the fucked up things
I say I didn't mean it
And I never realized that I can be what I hate
Let's be happy with what we have,
Enjoy the beauty in these days
Sometimes we'll laugh
Sometimes we'll scream
No one said caring was easy
I remember when my dreams were dying
And I damned the sun;
I damned the sun to pieces.
I carved hateful thoughts into my chest,
Then you took my hand
And nothing has ever felt the same.
And nothing, has ever...
Nothing has ever felt the same

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
totally fucking awesome song
