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”
Here we go again
God, I listen, but I'm not listening
Everything she says, oh I heard it all before
So what if I have
It doesn't mean it isn't beautiful
And everyone needs company once in a while
Two hearts, one of them will break
Like bad ideas on a beautiful day
Two figures, moving through the dark
Three words is all it takes to break your heart
In two
Every time she goes
I just pretend that it's not happening
And every time she comes, well then she comes, oh God
So what she's right, so what if she's so beautiful
Beautiful as that
Good for a laugh and too kind
Two hearts, one of them will break
Like bad ideas on a beautiful day
With no hands
This thing will steer itself through the dark
Three words is all it takes to break your heart
In two
All it takes to break your heart
It's just three words, three words in two hearts
Three words, in two hearts
God, I listen, but I'm not listening
Everything she says, oh I heard it all before
So what if I have
It doesn't mean it isn't beautiful
And everyone needs company once in a while
Two hearts, one of them will break
Like bad ideas on a beautiful day
Two figures, moving through the dark
Three words is all it takes to break your heart
In two
Every time she goes
I just pretend that it's not happening
And every time she comes, well then she comes, oh God
So what she's right, so what if she's so beautiful
Beautiful as that
Good for a laugh and too kind
Two hearts, one of them will break
Like bad ideas on a beautiful day
With no hands
This thing will steer itself through the dark
Three words is all it takes to break your heart
In two
All it takes to break your heart
It's just three words, three words in two hearts
Three words, in two hearts

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

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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
so what are the three words?
i love you?!
This is about hooking up with your ex when your lonely. You probably still love eachother but you can't be together. Its just a bad idea to get together when your lonely, but YOU'RE HUMAN!
These lyrics aren't right.
the lyrics are so completely wrong it bothers me
"Here we go again God, i listen but i'm not listening Everything she says Oh i've heard it all before So what if i have It doesn't mean it isn't beautiful And everyone needs company... Once in a while
Two hearts, one of them will break Like bad ideas on a beautiful day Two figures moving through the dark Three words, is all it takes to break your heart in two
Every time she goes I just pretend like it's not happening And every time she comes When she comes, oh god So what if she's right So what if she's so beautiful More beautiful than you Good for a laugh and too kind
Two hearts, one of them will break Like bad ideas on a beautiful day With no hands This thing will steer itself through the dark Three words, is all it takes to break your heart in two All it takes to break your heart Is just three words, three words and two hearts and three words and two hearts"
Yes, exactly. This is about two people who are no longer technically together who continue to keep going to bed together. They know they should end it but can't.
The words are "im so sorry" according to Ryan
