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 of P.J. Soles
And wonder where you are
I'll never see you anymore
Where do you think they go?
All the Fallen Stars
Heaven doesn't know you like I do
See you, bleed through
The gauzey haze I sink into
I think of you like P.J. Soles
I was your biggest fan
You seemed to understand
They'll never see you like I do
I guess it's like they said
That it was all just built up in my head
But you're still so real to me
If fine, this time
To me it makes no nevermind
But you know I keep you close
Yearbook, it took
Just one thousand tearstained looks
I think of you like P.J. Soles
And if I do think of you
It's only in the darkest place inside of me
You should know, I think of you like P.J. Soles
See you, bleed through
The gauzey haze I sink into
Phone call, fuck all
You're just one part of my free fall
This part of me will never close
And when I do think of you
It's only in the darkest place inside of me
You should know, I think of you like P.J. Soles
P.J. Soles
And wonder where you are
I'll never see you anymore
Where do you think they go?
All the Fallen Stars
Heaven doesn't know you like I do
See you, bleed through
The gauzey haze I sink into
I think of you like P.J. Soles
I was your biggest fan
You seemed to understand
They'll never see you like I do
I guess it's like they said
That it was all just built up in my head
But you're still so real to me
If fine, this time
To me it makes no nevermind
But you know I keep you close
Yearbook, it took
Just one thousand tearstained looks
I think of you like P.J. Soles
And if I do think of you
It's only in the darkest place inside of me
You should know, I think of you like P.J. Soles
See you, bleed through
The gauzey haze I sink into
Phone call, fuck all
You're just one part of my free fall
This part of me will never close
And when I do think of you
It's only in the darkest place inside of me
You should know, I think of you like P.J. Soles
P.J. Soles

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town

Ed Sheeran
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.
Page

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.
Great song, great metaphor for both a deteriorating relationship, and the story of the band itself. However, could it be "tear-stained looks" instead of "teenage looks"?

Dude, P.J. Soles is an actress. i should shut up... i suck.
Oh good, someone said who P.J. soles before I had to go look dumb and ask who it was.
The great thing about this song is that He's using a partially extended metaphor while explaining the relation. It's a wonder that it doesn't become obnoxiously explanative, but it truly doesn't. As I see it he's simply speaking about a person he no longer sees. Someone who, like actress PJ Soles, just dropped off the face of the Earth. Yearbook would lead me to believe that the memory is one of highschool, the rest of it, is fairly self-explanatory.
The song is about our obsessions. Scott was obsessed and was fasinated with her when she was a young and atractive upcoming star. Later after all that faded and she dissapeared out of the spotlight he still had the memories and how she made him feel even though he had no chance with her. Yet he says that "you seemed to always understand" as in his fantasies all is good. This is why he refers to the thought of her as being the darkest place inside of him because the time would better be pent on current relationships rather than faded fantasies.
In the last chorus, the lyric is "If I do think of you" not "When I do think of you"
