This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
This is a time in my life
Where everything is falling apart
And at the same time
It's all coming together
Those summer days that I longed for
Never really were what I wanted them to be
Just like when beautiful people
Drive ugly cars just like when pretty people
Crash ugly cars i'm hitting the road again
With five of my best friends
We always seem to disagree
But I still enjoy their company
But I still enjoy their company
And when I'm here i'll make you a mixed tape
Those singers always know just what to say
My throat is already hurting
And it's not even the first day
The record sounds great but for some reason
I can't pull it off from day to day
This is the time in my life
Where everything is falling apart
And at the same time
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
This is the time in my life
Where everything is falling apart
And at the same time
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
Where everything is falling apart
And at the same time
It's all coming together
Those summer days that I longed for
Never really were what I wanted them to be
Just like when beautiful people
Drive ugly cars just like when pretty people
Crash ugly cars i'm hitting the road again
With five of my best friends
We always seem to disagree
But I still enjoy their company
But I still enjoy their company
And when I'm here i'll make you a mixed tape
Those singers always know just what to say
My throat is already hurting
And it's not even the first day
The record sounds great but for some reason
I can't pull it off from day to day
This is the time in my life
Where everything is falling apart
And at the same time
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
This is the time in my life
Where everything is falling apart
And at the same time
It's all coming together
It's all coming together
It's all coming together

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue

“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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is a cover on the CD (sold only at shows, but you can look online for it) called "Wire Tapes" that came out 10/3, I think. It's a bunch of cover songs Chris recorded. The original is by a band called Grade. Dashboard got me in to Grade...they are both amazing. This is one of my favorite songs by Grade and I'm so glad Chris covered it. He sounds great on it. :)
