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 fly away
I fly away
I'm up high
I fly away
I fly away
Some people act funny
When they talk to me
It makes me feel uncomfortable
I'm in trouble
I fly away
I fly away
I'm up high
I'm flyin'
I'm dyin'
Can't you see you're killin' me
Ability
I'll show you all that sex is
It's not in your Lexus
And when your restless
Can I be on your next list
Wait awhile
Make her smile
Make her smile
Crash her guest list
Thrown to my knees
Once she receives
With you I put a dress on
I dress and impress on
I taste like licorice
Scream if you're ticklish
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Act like you know me
Slowly
Act like you know me
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Act like you know me
So if he would put a dress on
Unless you put the stress on
Tuck your hair behind your ears
Your tears,your silly fears
I'd be your Teddy bear
I'd choose the clothes I wear
With you I had so much pain
Shot glass migraine
For you I'd lose my focus
Swim in a swarm of locusts
For you I'd swim with ease
Save the planet-leave the trees
Hold me,hold me,hold me
Forget what you told me
For you I'd swim with ease
Save the planet-leave the trees
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Act like you know me
Slowly
Act like you know me
Slowly, slowly, slowly
And act like you know me
For you I'd swim with ease
Save the planet-leave the trees
Slowly, slowly, slowly
And act like you know me
Slowly
And act like you know me
Slowly
And act like you know me
Slowly, slowly
Act like you know me
I fly away
I'm up high
I fly away
I fly away
Some people act funny
When they talk to me
It makes me feel uncomfortable
I'm in trouble
I fly away
I fly away
I'm up high
I'm flyin'
I'm dyin'
Can't you see you're killin' me
Ability
I'll show you all that sex is
It's not in your Lexus
And when your restless
Can I be on your next list
Wait awhile
Make her smile
Make her smile
Crash her guest list
Thrown to my knees
Once she receives
With you I put a dress on
I dress and impress on
I taste like licorice
Scream if you're ticklish
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Act like you know me
Slowly
Act like you know me
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Act like you know me
So if he would put a dress on
Unless you put the stress on
Tuck your hair behind your ears
Your tears,your silly fears
I'd be your Teddy bear
I'd choose the clothes I wear
With you I had so much pain
Shot glass migraine
For you I'd lose my focus
Swim in a swarm of locusts
For you I'd swim with ease
Save the planet-leave the trees
Hold me,hold me,hold me
Forget what you told me
For you I'd swim with ease
Save the planet-leave the trees
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Act like you know me
Slowly
Act like you know me
Slowly, slowly, slowly
And act like you know me
For you I'd swim with ease
Save the planet-leave the trees
Slowly, slowly, slowly
And act like you know me
Slowly
And act like you know me
Slowly
And act like you know me
Slowly, slowly
Act like you know me

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.
