I lock the door
Turn all the water on
And bury that sound
So no one hears anything anymore

Mirror lie to me, Tell me you can see
Maybe you won't be able to recognize me now

I know you can feel, All the things you steal
And you're taking, And you're taking it

Feeling so easy, Make me skin & bones
I'm always on my knees for you
Break it like it's even, When you're leaving it
Thin
Where the hell have you been?

Sometimes it burns, Maybe I'll wash it out
It all looks so big
Nevermind, I don't feel anything

It only hurt a bit,
I still feel like shit,
And I think you won't be able to recognize me now
It's easier to quit, It's harder to admit
And you're pushing me, You're fucking pushing me

Feeling so easy, Make me skin & bones
I'm always on my knees for you
Break it like it's even, When you're leaving and
Thin
Where the hell have you been?

'Cause you ooh whoa, Ooh whoa always win
And you ooh whoa, Ooh whoa yeah

Laughing like it works
Bleeding like it dont hurt
Knock you off your feet
Even if you need me
Tear you apart, and I hate how I need you

Feeling so easy, Make me skin & bones
Im always on my knees for you
Break it like its even
When you're leaving
It's too fucking easy
Make me skin and bones
I'm always on my knees for you
Break like it's even
When you're leaving it
Thin
Where the hell have you been?

Cause you ooh whoa, Ooh whoa always win
And you ooh whoa, Ooh whoa, Ooh
You ooh whoa, Ooh whoa, Ooh

I will burn all this,
I will burn all this,
I will burn all this
(repeat 3X)

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
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.
