This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Once a poor, shy, western kid
raised on cornflakes, family, and radio
it must have been so difficult to speak your mind
being the youngest in a group of nine
whose minds are staring at
The way across our broken lives
when common trials
meet with common virtue
will you count me in to count me out?
and the road it leads to
they'll leave a bed for you
Found myself at seventeen
just fooling around, but staying clean
your gumball ring
reminds me we've been best friends since the age of eight
we've seen the need to every day
when our minds are focused on
The way across our twisted lives
when common trials
meet with common virtue
will you count me in to count me out?
and the road it leads to
they'll leave a bed for you
Then we have to tell ourselves
we can't give in
when common trials
meet with common virtue
will you count me in to count me out?
and the road it leads to
they'll leave a bed for you
You can cross the ocean
I will cross the sea
joining into white light
to get us out of here
You can tear the pictures
I can burn the poems
someone's who's not perfect
someone's who's not real
And we left your home at seventeen
to find a life more like our dreams
we can rely on their designs

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.
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.
I am open to any suggestions as to what the indiscernible part says and any other lyrics corrections. Canoe is a sweet band!
