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”
Before you I was totally lost
And so hopelessly sure I'd end up by myself
I was so unaware there was someone out there
For me who'd love me like nobody else
Then you gave me something that I always wanted
Now I'm giving it all back to you
Darlin' completely
With all of my soul
I was so empty 'till you made me whole
Girl, you complete me
More every day
I promise forever to love you this way
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
I did time as a single man year after year
And right when I almost gave up
Way up high on a ledge leaning over the edge
I was mercifully saved by your love
It might take a lifetime
But I know that I'll find the right words to tell you
I'm yours
Darlin' completely
With all of my soul
I was so empty 'till you made me whole
Girl, you complete me
More every day
I promise forever to love you this way
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
Oh girl, completely
And so hopelessly sure I'd end up by myself
I was so unaware there was someone out there
For me who'd love me like nobody else
Then you gave me something that I always wanted
Now I'm giving it all back to you
Darlin' completely
With all of my soul
I was so empty 'till you made me whole
Girl, you complete me
More every day
I promise forever to love you this way
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
I did time as a single man year after year
And right when I almost gave up
Way up high on a ledge leaning over the edge
I was mercifully saved by your love
It might take a lifetime
But I know that I'll find the right words to tell you
I'm yours
Darlin' completely
With all of my soul
I was so empty 'till you made me whole
Girl, you complete me
More every day
I promise forever to love you this way
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
Right from the start
Girl, I'll give you my heart
Darlin' completely
Oh girl, completely

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.
