This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You grew wings on your heart
But you let it out your ribcage
And it flew into the dark
Like a ghost just like a ghost
And it flutters by my window
When I need my sleep the most
So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about it every day, and starting to notice you're fading away
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow
You want eyes in your hands
And power in your pocket
As I stop to watch you dance
With your hips swinging they shake hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging they shake hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging they shake hips swinging, again
Got your hips swinging they shake hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging they shake hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging they shake hips swinging again, and again, and again
So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
And thinking about you every day, and starting to notice
That it's two steps forward and one step back
Make up in love what you think I lack
You've got a vampire on your neck
Everybody knows what happens next
You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow
So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
And thinking about you every day, and starting to notice
(Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade)
(You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow)
But you let it out your ribcage
And it flew into the dark
Like a ghost just like a ghost
And it flutters by my window
When I need my sleep the most
So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
Thinking about it every day, and starting to notice you're fading away
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow
You want eyes in your hands
And power in your pocket
As I stop to watch you dance
With your hips swinging they shake hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging they shake hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging they shake hips swinging, again
Got your hips swinging they shake hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging they shake hips swinging, got your
Hips swinging they shake hips swinging again, and again, and again
So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
And thinking about you every day, and starting to notice
That it's two steps forward and one step back
Make up in love what you think I lack
You've got a vampire on your neck
Everybody knows what happens next
You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade
Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow
So choose my weapon and choose my way
It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
And thinking about you every day, and starting to notice
(Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade)
(You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow)

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.
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.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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 what it says on Wikipedia: Tunstall expanded on the song to M Is For Music: "The song is about when I met someone who had a really negative effect on me, and even though they were still alive, I experienced these almost visitation-like hauntings that I couldn't shake off. I took to wearing a t-shirt with the person's name on to try and exorcise them, which finally worked."
That explains the like a ghost part. Also, I'm convinced it's "Got your head swinging, your snake head swinging" rather than hips. But I don't know!
