In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Each time you hurt me and desert me
You swear you'll never do it again
Oh each time I catch you
Lyin' I start cryin'
You say 'It's the last time' and then
Oh you say oh baby
Everything's gonna be fine
And like a fool I keep
Forgivin' you each time
Each time I say I'll leave you
Never see you
You tell me you'll make it all up to me
Oh each time you say let's
Try it just once more
'Cause I'm all you're livin'
For, you'll change, i'll see
Then you call me baby
Everything's gonna be fine
Then like a fool I keep
Forgivin' you each time
Wish that I felt just like I did before
There was a time I could walk out the door
But I can't go now though I know it's wrong
'Cause good or bad it's with you I belong
Then you say oh baby
Everything's gonna be fine
No matter what you do, I keep forgivin' you
Each time, each time, each time, each time
You swear you'll never do it again
Oh each time I catch you
Lyin' I start cryin'
You say 'It's the last time' and then
Oh you say oh baby
Everything's gonna be fine
And like a fool I keep
Forgivin' you each time
Each time I say I'll leave you
Never see you
You tell me you'll make it all up to me
Oh each time you say let's
Try it just once more
'Cause I'm all you're livin'
For, you'll change, i'll see
Then you call me baby
Everything's gonna be fine
Then like a fool I keep
Forgivin' you each time
Wish that I felt just like I did before
There was a time I could walk out the door
But I can't go now though I know it's wrong
'Cause good or bad it's with you I belong
Then you say oh baby
Everything's gonna be fine
No matter what you do, I keep forgivin' you
Each time, each time, each time, each time

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.
