Three days, no happy endings, highways, I’m hallucinating.
I wish I wasn’t so mathmatic. I wish I hadn’t overheated.
Heartbeats across a crowded room. April fool, give me a week or two.
These drinks are hitting me so hard. I wish I had an angel watching over me.

Set up another round, it’s raining.
Six more drinks before I drown.
Bottoms up and spirits down.
Have my words lost all weight?
This is weighing on me.
Have I got nothing left to say?

Now I remember all the words. Through my smokey eyes, a blurred hotel room stirred.
I waited to hear you through the static. Three more cigarettes. A time to call off all regrets.
This is every selfish song. This is all those moments bleeding. Maybe I made a huge mistake.
I always thought that it would come to this. March came without a cost. April falls into the dream again.
In May I’ll cut myself off at a loss for words. It doesn’t mean I’m really over it.

And on the 13th of September, I swear I’ll remember, even if it doesn’t make any sense.
March 30th will be desperate. A happy birthday to me. What a spineless overstatement.

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 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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
