Come wind, come rain
We're off again
Our muddy boots plod down the lane
The snow has snowed
Now the grass has growed
And it's time that we were on the road
The mare is shod,
The miles untrod between us and the land of god
We're on our way,
And everyday is another ten miles
And a bundle of hay

Hey ho, the wind and the rain
It's another 10 miles and a bucket of grain
La, la, la etc

Come wind, come rain
We're off again
Our muddy boots plod down the lane
The snow has snowed
Now the grass has growed
And it's time that we were on the road
Hey, ho the wind and the rain
the passersby wave their arms and grin
La, la, la, dun da da, la, la, la

    ^ cool?

    in the last line it says "grain" not rain and after "and everyday is another 10 miles" i'm not really sure what it says but i know that "grain" should be hay other than that, it doesn't seem like the rest of the lyrics are off, maybe i'm wrong?

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.

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.
