These these cracks tell time
And story lines
Burdens post red explore

And all my fancy books are just for looks
It drives slow like this train
Train's been delayed
Take the long way
Figured we'd hop up here

Cut and cross wires
Electric fires
Reset your clocks
And rewrite your thoughts
It's burning down
Let's keep it up
Flames they grow strong
The louder the song

Cut and cross wires
Electric fires
Reset your clocks
And rewrite your thoughts
It's burning down
Let's keep it up
Flames they grow strong
The louder the song

If rats, rats run this race
I'll get first place
Jordan's purses
The hair
Old rabbit ears
No longer hear
Television beware

Cut and cross wires
Electric fires
Reset your clocks
And rewrite your thoughts
It's burning down
Let's keep it up
Flames they grow strong
The louder the song

Cut and cross wires
Electric fires
Reset your clocks
And rewrite your thoughts
It's burning down
Let's keep it up
Flames they grow strong
The louder the song

Cut and cross wires
Electric fires
Reset your clocks
And rewrite your thoughts
It's burning down
Let's keep it up
Flames they grow strong
The louder the song

Cut and cross wires
Electric fires
Reset your clocks
And rewrite your thoughts
It's burning down
Let's keep it up
Flames they grow strong
The louder the song

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”

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
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
