I don't feel as if I know you
You take up all my time
The days are long and the nights will throw you away
'Cause the sun don't shine

Nobody ever mentions the weather
Can make or break your day
Nobody ever seems to remember
Life is a game we play

We live in the shadows and we
Had the chance and threw it away
And it's never going to be the same
'Cause the years are falling by like the rain
It's never gonna be the same
'Til the life I knew comes to my house and says
Hello

There ain't no sense in feeling lonely
They got no faith in you
But I've got a feeling you still owe me
So wipe the shit from your shoes

Nobody ever mentions the weather
Can make or break your day
Nobody ever seems to remember
Life is a game we play

We live in the shadows and we
Had the chance and threw it away
And it's never going to be the same
'Cause the years are falling by like the rain
It's never gonna be the same
'Til the life I knew comes to my house and says
Hello, hello (it's good to be back)
Hello, hello (it's good to be back)
Hello, hello (it's good to be back)
Hello, hello, hello

    He's talking to himself:

    "I dont feel as if I know you, you'll take up all my time"

    • He's seeing himself, and he's bored and not impressed.

    "The days are long and the night will throw you away Coz the sun don't shine" -Nights are long and dreary, cause no sun in the day time to cheer you up

    "Nobody ever mentions the weather can make or break your day Nobody ever seems to remember life is a game we play "

    • You are not in control of everything, life is unpredictable and can change how you see things. If life is unpredictable and meaningless, then just play along.

    "We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away"

    • We're not living up to our potential, we had the chance but blew it.

    "And it's never gonna be the same Cos the years are following by like the rain And it's never gonna be the same 'Til the life I knew comes to my house and says Hello "

    • Thinking about the years passing and the time he 'had it', but eventually the old life will come back and say 'hello'

    "There ain't no sense in feeling lonely They got no faith in you But I've got a feeling you still owe me So wipe the shit from your shoes"

    -forget your 'friends', but you got an obligation to your self, so clean your shoes and get your act together, and embrace your old vitality and spirit when it comes knocking on your door and says HELLO!

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
