This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I wrote for luck
They sent me you
I sent for juice
They sent me poison
I hold the line
You form a queue
Try anything hard
There's nothing else you can do
Oh you can try but you can't chain me
I can slip and stand and bend and roll over
I don't read
I just dance
There's more than one sign
And it's getting less
When you're wet
You're getting drier
You used to speak the truth
But now you're liar
You used to speak the truth
But now you're clever
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I wrote for luck
They sent me you
I sent for juice
They sent me poison
I hold the line
You form a queue
Try anything hard
There's nothing else you can do
And when you're wet
You're getting drier
You used to speak the truth
But now you're liar
You used to speak the truth
But now you're clever
And when it's hot
You start to melt
'Cause you're not made of cheese
You're made of chocolate
And when it's cold
You tend to cry
You keep on piling on
And not put it by
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
They sent me you
I sent for juice
They sent me poison
I hold the line
You form a queue
Try anything hard
There's nothing else you can do
Oh you can try but you can't chain me
I can slip and stand and bend and roll over
I don't read
I just dance
There's more than one sign
And it's getting less
When you're wet
You're getting drier
You used to speak the truth
But now you're liar
You used to speak the truth
But now you're clever
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
I wrote for luck
They sent me you
I sent for juice
They sent me poison
I hold the line
You form a queue
Try anything hard
There's nothing else you can do
And when you're wet
You're getting drier
You used to speak the truth
But now you're liar
You used to speak the truth
But now you're clever
And when it's hot
You start to melt
'Cause you're not made of cheese
You're made of chocolate
And when it's cold
You tend to cry
You keep on piling on
And not put it by
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
