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 cross my heart and hope to die
Stick every needle in these eyes
Inject this air into my veins
If it would bring you back to me
I haven't had a sober night
Ever since you left me
And my days don't start until the sun goes down
A vampire, draining every bottle
They're all I have to quench these memories
These memories of you
It's all that I can do
I cross my heart and hope to die
Stick every needle in these eyes
Inject this air into my veins
If it would bring you back to me
I'd rip my heart out of my chest
And make your room a crimson mess
I'd do at all with no regrets
If it would bring you back to me
Each night's played on my carousel
Never ending circles
I'll do anything to never see(?) again
It's all that i can do
I cross my heart and hope to die
Stick every needle in these eyes
Inject this air into my veins
If it would bring you back to me
I'd rip my heart out of my chest
And make your room a crimson mess
I'd do at all with no regrets
If it would bring you back to me
If it would bring you back to me
(If it would bring you back to me)
I cross my heart and hope to die (die)
Stick every needle in these eyes (eyes)
Inject this air into my veins
If it would bring you back to me
I'd rip my heart out of my chest
And make your room a crimson mess
I'd do at all with no regrets
If it would bring you back to me
Stick every needle in these eyes
Inject this air into my veins
If it would bring you back to me
I haven't had a sober night
Ever since you left me
And my days don't start until the sun goes down
A vampire, draining every bottle
They're all I have to quench these memories
These memories of you
It's all that I can do
I cross my heart and hope to die
Stick every needle in these eyes
Inject this air into my veins
If it would bring you back to me
I'd rip my heart out of my chest
And make your room a crimson mess
I'd do at all with no regrets
If it would bring you back to me
Each night's played on my carousel
Never ending circles
I'll do anything to never see(?) again
It's all that i can do
I cross my heart and hope to die
Stick every needle in these eyes
Inject this air into my veins
If it would bring you back to me
I'd rip my heart out of my chest
And make your room a crimson mess
I'd do at all with no regrets
If it would bring you back to me
If it would bring you back to me
(If it would bring you back to me)
I cross my heart and hope to die (die)
Stick every needle in these eyes (eyes)
Inject this air into my veins
If it would bring you back to me
I'd rip my heart out of my chest
And make your room a crimson mess
I'd do at all with no regrets
If it would bring you back to 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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song is awsome, also heard it on a mix my friend made for me and it's my favourite song on the CD as well. Home Grown are awsome.
