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've been waiting for too long
Staring at the sun
Waiting for the night to come
So I can get things done
I cant wait for this no more
My eyes have come undone
If my star will ever rise
Let it be the only one
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young
You're forever young
Ice is just a rememdy for pain and and rising heat
Hold it in your hands and watch the puddles form around your feet
And if you drink your water
It might just stop the pain
From dreaming of the fever drowning holes around your name
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young
You're forever young
If you're scared about the future
I'm scared about the past
And if you're feeling ill, its 'cause the world is spinning fast
Yeah you're staring at the sun
Yeah you better all hold on
And watch the sky become the ground
Forever young
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young
You're forever young
Staring at the sun
Waiting for the night to come
So I can get things done
I cant wait for this no more
My eyes have come undone
If my star will ever rise
Let it be the only one
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young
You're forever young
Ice is just a rememdy for pain and and rising heat
Hold it in your hands and watch the puddles form around your feet
And if you drink your water
It might just stop the pain
From dreaming of the fever drowning holes around your name
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young
You're forever young
If you're scared about the future
I'm scared about the past
And if you're feeling ill, its 'cause the world is spinning fast
Yeah you're staring at the sun
Yeah you better all hold on
And watch the sky become the ground
Forever young
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young
You're forever young

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
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.
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.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I'm fairly sure this is actually called "Setting Sun". On BFRW. Good song.
it was originally called forever young, there were a few albums that went out with the song titled 'forever young' - then it was changed to setting sun, because evermore had the hit song forever young... one of the guys at JJJ accidnetly played eskimo joe's forever young instead of playing the evermore song
evermore never had a song called forever young i believe you may have been thinking about the song forever young by youth group
