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.
See you walking down the street, I just want to talk to you. but you don't
Have too much to say, so I'll just be on my way. refrain: cause you're just too
Shy, (just too shy, shy girl)...just too shy, (just too shy, shy girl), aww
Babe, you're just too shy (just too shy, shy girl). sittin there all by
Youreself, talking to nobody (talking to nobody ) your head is bowed, your eyes
Look to the ground, I want to you know you baby. (refrain) see you laughin
With your friends, but they do all the talking. won't you come and walk with
Me awhile, I want to you know you better (refrain)
Have too much to say, so I'll just be on my way. refrain: cause you're just too

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.
I love this song, it's got this perfect flow to it... it's a great song to just sit back and chill to.
Lyrically, this song is obviously talking about a girl who is kinda left back among the group of people, who is actually the one he wants to talk to.
Great song... everyone's missin out.
