Yeah
How many times have I told you love you?
Don't seem to change a thing
Girl you're not the same
There was a time when you want me to hug you
And treat you like the lady that you wanna be
But girl I knew that one in me
Would never try to hold me back
And do me all this wrong, girl what's going on?

I tried to talk and you walk away
Right out of my face, right out of my place
But

[Chorus: x2]
That's just it girl
You just don't know how much I love you now
That you walked out of my house
That's just it girl
Would it be another day, be another way
To get you right back in my place

How many times have we sat at the table?
And both ate one time and said what's on our mind
I'm thinking of a relationship was a fable
A fairytale of me, that's just how it seems (oh girl, I heard)
Even when I heard that you were cheating, I was faithful
And would do any goddamn thing that you would say too

I tried to talk and you walk away
Right out out of my face, right out of my place
But

[Chorus: x4]

    i think he's singing about a man who has deep feelings for a woman that she shared with him for awhile, but she started cheating and he started to notice things were differnt but didnt say anything and when he did want to talk about it she would change the subject and just continued to lead him on, and even when he found out from someone she was cheating, he had such strong feelings that he stayed faithful, and when he finally confronted her about it she left.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
