This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
What a drag it is, the shape I'm in
Well, I go out somewhere, then I come home again
I light a cigarette 'cause I can't get no sleep
There's nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio
That means that much to me
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh oh oh, oh, there's trouble in America
Oh oh oh, oh
Yesterday was easy, happiness came and went
I got the movie script but I don't know what it meant
I light a cigarette 'cause I can't get no sleep
There's nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio
That means that much to me
There's nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio
That I can believe in
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh oh oh, oh, there's trouble in America
Oh oh oh, oh, there's panic in America
Oh oh oh, oh
Yesterday was easy
Yes, I got the news
When you get it straight, but stand up you just can't lose
Give you my confidence, all my faith in life
Don't stand me up, don't let me down
I need you tonight
To hold me, say you'll be here
To hold me, say you'll be here
To hold me, say you'll be here
To hold
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh oh oh, oh, she's lost in America
Oh oh oh, oh
Tell me how does it feel
Tell me how does it feel
Tell me how does it feel
Tell me how does it feel
Well, I go out somewhere, then I come home again
I light a cigarette 'cause I can't get no sleep
There's nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio
That means that much to me
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh oh oh, oh, there's trouble in America
Oh oh oh, oh
Yesterday was easy, happiness came and went
I got the movie script but I don't know what it meant
I light a cigarette 'cause I can't get no sleep
There's nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio
That means that much to me
There's nothing on the TV, nothing on the radio
That I can believe in
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh oh oh, oh, there's trouble in America
Oh oh oh, oh, there's panic in America
Oh oh oh, oh
Yesterday was easy
Yes, I got the news
When you get it straight, but stand up you just can't lose
Give you my confidence, all my faith in life
Don't stand me up, don't let me down
I need you tonight
To hold me, say you'll be here
To hold me, say you'll be here
To hold me, say you'll be here
To hold
All my life
Watching America
All my life
There's panic in America
Oh oh oh, oh, she's lost in America
Oh oh oh, oh
Tell me how does it feel
Tell me how does it feel
Tell me how does it feel
Tell me how does it feel

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”

American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I think the song is about feeling isolated, also i think it's the type of song that reminds you of something, maybe a time in your life. I totally disagree with the nay sayers of this song, the lyrics are magic and the guitar melody maybe the most beautiful of all time.
