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.
I know how it feels
To wake up without her
Lying here all alone
Just thinking about her
I can't believe
Her hold on me
It's something indescribable
I know she knows
But won't you please
If you see my girl
Just tell her I miss her smile
Tell her I'm counting the minutes
Gonna see her in a little while
But I know when she
Holds onto me
She's the one thing that I could never live without
Oh, oh, oh
Tell her I love her
Oh yeah, just tell her I love her
The way that she moves
You know what it does to me
When I catch her eye
I can hardly breathe
Still can't believe
Her hold on me
She's just so indescribable
I know she knows
But won't you please, please yeah
If you see my girl
Just tell her I miss her smile
Tell her I'm counting the minutes
Gonna see her in a little while
But I know when she
Holds onto me
She's the one thing that I could never live without
Oh oh oh
Tell her I love her
Every time that I'm around her
I just go to pieces crashing, tumbling to the ground
I'm so glad I found her
I know how it feels
If you see my girl
Just tell her I miss her smile
Tell her I'm counting the minutes
Gonna see her in a little while
But I know when she
Holds onto me
She's the one thing that I could never live without
Oh, oh, oh
Just tell her I love her
If you see my girl
Just tell her I miss her smile
Tell her I'm counting the minutes
Gonna see her in a little while
But I know when she
Holds onto me
She's the one thing that I could never live without
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
And tell her I love her
Tell her I love her
To wake up without her
Lying here all alone
Just thinking about her
I can't believe
Her hold on me
It's something indescribable
I know she knows
But won't you please
If you see my girl
Just tell her I miss her smile
Tell her I'm counting the minutes
Gonna see her in a little while
But I know when she
Holds onto me
She's the one thing that I could never live without
Oh, oh, oh
Tell her I love her
Oh yeah, just tell her I love her
The way that she moves
You know what it does to me
When I catch her eye
I can hardly breathe
Still can't believe
Her hold on me
She's just so indescribable
I know she knows
But won't you please, please yeah
If you see my girl
Just tell her I miss her smile
Tell her I'm counting the minutes
Gonna see her in a little while
But I know when she
Holds onto me
She's the one thing that I could never live without
Oh oh oh
Tell her I love her
Every time that I'm around her
I just go to pieces crashing, tumbling to the ground
I'm so glad I found her
I know how it feels
If you see my girl
Just tell her I miss her smile
Tell her I'm counting the minutes
Gonna see her in a little while
But I know when she
Holds onto me
She's the one thing that I could never live without
Oh, oh, oh
Just tell her I love her
If you see my girl
Just tell her I miss her smile
Tell her I'm counting the minutes
Gonna see her in a little while
But I know when she
Holds onto me
She's the one thing that I could never live without
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
And tell her I love her
Tell her I love her

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
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.
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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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 not a fan of Jesse McCartney...but, I really love this song. It's so cute. It actually made me cry the first time I heard it (pathetic, I know). Anyways, excellent song. Probably the best one of the whole cd.
I also cryed when I first heard this song; you're not on your own. I think this song is about a girl who broke up with this boy, but the boy is telling his friends that if they see her out and about, just tell her that he stil loves her and misses her.
This song is great ! Ive Jesse McCartney since his first almbum. I lovee this song !
I've lovedd***** Jesse McCartney
this song is amazing...i love it it reminds me of the way i feel about a guy....
"I can't believe Her hold on me it's somethin indescribable I know she knows (i know he knew how i felt and i would say this same thing for someone to tell him.......) But won't you please
If you see my girl Just tell her i miss her smile Tell her I'm counting the minutes Gonna see her in a little while But I know when she Holds onto me She's the one thing that i could never live without Oh oh oh Tell her I love her
Oh yeah
The way that she moves You know what it does to me When I catch her eye I can hardly breathe
I haven't seen him in a long time and well this is a perfect song.
I was never a big fan of Jesse McCartney, but after I really started paying close attention to his lyrics I found them to be very meaningful unlike many other artists in his genre. This song seems very heartfelt, I wish he was singing about me. =)
i don't think its about a break-up. i think he's saying that he wants his friends to tell his gf that he loves her and will see her as soon as work/the tour is done.
