This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Go tell this town I've built them all their coffins.
As for this face, best it be forgotten.
"Baby, baby, I've got a reason to leave, but I'm not going far.
Baby, baby, come on I'm begging you, please. I'm not the one in chains."
"They call me Jesse James and I own the night life.
I drift from town to town across the nation.
Praise the lord, lock and load boys.
We go down, we go down, we go down together."
"Baby, baby, I've got a reason to leave, but I'm not going far.
Baby, baby, come on I'm begging you, please. I'm not the one in chains."
Your gun's firing blanks.
No way out. (x4)
No way out.
Gun's firing blanks.
Go tell this town I've built them all their coffins.
As for this face, best it be forgotten.
Hells on it's way, no one's gonna stop it.
I wear this suit, on one's gonna top me.
As for this face, best it be forgotten.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Maybe he thinks he's Jesse James? As for "I own the night life". No one goes out at night because of him, their too scarred. So I get that part. The rest of that doesn't make too much sense. He mentions "we" sometimes so he's either a skitso or theres more than one killer? Possibly a wife type figure.
