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”
You'll be the first flight out of Dallas
You leave but never get away
From the color you swear that your life takes in this town
Because scenery is just a shade
You live in regret
It hurts to know how much you'll miss
I want to make it feel alright
Hold you through the dark tonight
So what if now is all you have
Live as if you never knew
What it was to lose
Honestly have you ever been honest with yourself
Or are you someone else's point of view
You live in regret
It hurts to know how much you'll miss
It's what you expect
That leaves you such a mess
One day you'll learn
No place will make you happier
Are you someone else's point of view
Are you someone else's point of view
You leave but never get away
From the color you swear that your life takes in this town
Because scenery is just a shade
You live in regret
It hurts to know how much you'll miss
I want to make it feel alright
Hold you through the dark tonight
So what if now is all you have
Live as if you never knew
What it was to lose
Honestly have you ever been honest with yourself
Or are you someone else's point of view
You live in regret
It hurts to know how much you'll miss
It's what you expect
That leaves you such a mess
One day you'll learn
No place will make you happier
Are you someone else's point of view
Are you someone else's point of view

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I haven't gone a day without listening to this band since I heard 'Dark' in the beginning of October 2006. Epilohunk pretty much explained it. She ran away from him, and now both are regretting it, but shes making excuses on why it happened and creating false pretenses from other people. This song will forever be dedicated to explain my life. I cannot even gather into words what this song means to me or how I feel when I hear it.
