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”
Alright
To know you is to hate you
So lovin' you must be like suicide
Well, I don't mind if you don't mind
Hell, I am not the one that's gonna die
I guess I just can't listen
To this one-sided conversation again
'Cause I don't care if I don't care
Well, no one ever said that life was fair
Well, everybody loves a joke, but no one likes a fool
And you're always cracking the same old lines again
You're well rehearsed on every verse, and that was stated clear
But no one understands your verity
The center of attention
Got an honorable mention once again
Congratulations, and salutations
You're a figment of your own imagination
Well, everybody loves a joke, but no one likes a fool
And you're always cracking the same old lines again
You're well rehearsed on every verse, and that was stated clear
But no one understands your verity
To know you is to bait you
And you fell victim to your own denial
Well, I don't mind if you don't mind
You're wastin' all your time
To know you is to hate you
So lovin' you must be like suicide
Well, I don't mind if you don't mind
Hell, I am not the one that's gonna die
I guess I just can't listen
To this one-sided conversation again
'Cause I don't care if I don't care
Well, no one ever said that life was fair
Well, everybody loves a joke, but no one likes a fool
And you're always cracking the same old lines again
You're well rehearsed on every verse, and that was stated clear
But no one understands your verity
The center of attention
Got an honorable mention once again
Congratulations, and salutations
You're a figment of your own imagination
Well, everybody loves a joke, but no one likes a fool
And you're always cracking the same old lines again
You're well rehearsed on every verse, and that was stated clear
But no one understands your verity
To know you is to bait you
And you fell victim to your own denial
Well, I don't mind if you don't mind
You're wastin' all your time

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 don't know if this song was about Blink 182 or not, but I was looking at quotes from Mike (greendayauthority.com) and according to that website he had said:
(At Mark Hoppus of blink-182): "Stop throwing shit or I'll jump in there and beat your ass."
(Speaking of blink-182): "Seriously, at first I was happy for them, but now I find it a little irritatign. I think they trivialise what we do, and punk rock in general. It's like throwing shit in the face of something or someone that had substance at one point. Didn't one of the members marry someone from MTV? I mean, what the fuck? But if any band should be pissed off at them then isn't NOFX."
