This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
regrets are worthless
they misconstrue the past in sight and sound
and as lines recede
no one speaks a word of his lust
a word of dreams that've been left to rust
the tv's on and everyone stays calm.
as time has passed
no one understands and to say the least
the years have been unfair
i wanted to tell you
i miss it
i just wanted to let you know
the last year has helped me grow
i want to take you on the road
where we'll go
i'll never know
will you come along
it's easier when no place feels like home
i said i want out
i want to take you out of this
and go to California
'cause I want to take you on a ride
i'll set things right
i know the direction in which to go
i'll set things right and say goodnight.

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.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
American Town

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.

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 listen to this song everyday. it's awesome, it says so much.
this song is so great, heath from midtown, told me the band wrote it about a friend who was very close to them who moved away and it hurt them and stuff, i was like awww lol
This is my absolute FAVORITE Midtown song. When I saw them perform it live, I fell even more in love with it. I really hope Midtown keeps putting out songs like this one. Can't wait for "Living Well..." to come out in April :)
I love this song, it's my favourite Midtown song. Direction is a great one too.
this is such a great song. awesome lyrics. just reminds me of someone fucking up a relationship and wanting to make amends really badly
great song great lyrics, once again midtown's talent shine
this song means so much to me, just the fact its abuot life and relationships, my favorite lines would be "i wanted to tell you i miss it i just wanted to let you know the last year has helped me grow i want to take you on the road where we'll go i'll never know will you come along it's easier when no place feels like home" becuase i can relate. i think its about giving time in a new relationship and learning from the old ones..which ive definitly been there before...
this is such a beautiful song. reminds me that no place really does feel like home...
my favorite midtown song. the lyrics and tune just grab me everytime i hear it...regrets really are worthless...
