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”
Spent too many hours holding up walls
Standing in corners and clenching my jaw
Watching you watching the ones that I wanted to be
Blaming this all on the moment
Blaming this all on my views
Blaming the mood on the music
Blaming it all on you
All on you and me
Just because you said what you wanted
Doesn't make it right
And just because the moment was heated
Doesn't mean that I wanted to fight
Even though I saw your anger
Even though I saw your face
The words that you cited were chosen,
Not fate, not spoken in haste
All on you and me
Well just for the moment, just one more time
Just one more second and we'll be just fine
This could be just, just in case its the last time
Well just for the moment, just one more time
Just one more second and we'll be just fine
This could be the last time
Just until sundown
Just one more day I could hold you
That I could hold you
Just until sundown
Just one more day I could hold you
Without you pushing me away
All on you and me
Standing in corners and clenching my jaw
Watching you watching the ones that I wanted to be
Blaming this all on the moment
Blaming this all on my views
Blaming the mood on the music
Blaming it all on you
All on you and me
Just because you said what you wanted
Doesn't make it right
And just because the moment was heated
Doesn't mean that I wanted to fight
Even though I saw your anger
Even though I saw your face
The words that you cited were chosen,
Not fate, not spoken in haste
All on you and me
Well just for the moment, just one more time
Just one more second and we'll be just fine
This could be just, just in case its the last time
Well just for the moment, just one more time
Just one more second and we'll be just fine
This could be the last time
Just until sundown
Just one more day I could hold you
That I could hold you
Just until sundown
Just one more day I could hold you
Without you pushing me away
All on you and me

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
I love this song, I can relate to it so well. Also, the melody is quite nice... It's hard to find great lyrics and a nice tune.
"watching you watching the ones that I wanted to be"
This is exactly me... Bah, I get teary-eyed whenever I hear that line. You know you're not "the one" for that person, but somehow you keep pushing on and hoping.
