In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Save tomorrow for me
I'm comin' home to you
Oh girl my baby
(repeat)
I just called you up
Because you've been on my mind
So I can tell you what I feel
Ooh I'm missing you
I've been away too long
Now I'm coming home to you
It's been hard for me
To fall asleep at night--my love
Because without you
I feel so--alone
So I'm coming home
Save tomorrow for me
I'm comin' home to you
Oh girl my baby
Save tomorrow for me
I'm coming home to you
Oh girl my baby
Since the day I left
And you went on your own way
My life's just not the same
Ooh baby I'm needing you
And longing for your touch
Can I get a message through
I can hardly wait
To hold you in my arms
Oh girl
So don't be busy
Cancel everything
'Cause I'm
Cause tomorrow's my day
Save tomorrow for me (aw baby)
I'm comin' home to you (and I want it all)
Oh girl my baby (my baby)
Save tomorrow for me (aw baby)
I'm coming home to you (girl, I'm comin' home)
Oh girl my baby (my baby)
Save tomorrow for me (missing you....needing you)
I'm comin' home to you (wanting you...each and every minute of the day)
Oh girl my baby (yeah)
Save tomorrow for me (I know you know. Sugar, I know you know.)
I'm coming home to you (I'm comin' home to you)
Oh girl my baby (?)
Away too long
Missing you so I'm comin' home
Save me tomorrow
Away too long
Missing you so I'm comin' home
Save me tomorrow
Save tomorrow {Repeat away too long...}
(Baby save tomorrow 'cause I'm comin home)
(Because without you I feel so alone)
(Since the day I left)
(I was needing you)
(Now I'm comin' home)
(My baby to you)
(Can I get a message through)
(Because I'm comin' home)
(Home home home home)
(Home)
I love you. I love you, too.
I'm comin' home to you
Oh girl my baby
(repeat)
I just called you up
Because you've been on my mind
So I can tell you what I feel
Ooh I'm missing you
I've been away too long
Now I'm coming home to you
It's been hard for me
To fall asleep at night--my love
Because without you
I feel so--alone
So I'm coming home
Save tomorrow for me
I'm comin' home to you
Oh girl my baby
Save tomorrow for me
I'm coming home to you
Oh girl my baby
Since the day I left
And you went on your own way
My life's just not the same
Ooh baby I'm needing you
And longing for your touch
Can I get a message through
I can hardly wait
To hold you in my arms
Oh girl
So don't be busy
Cancel everything
'Cause I'm
Cause tomorrow's my day
Save tomorrow for me (aw baby)
I'm comin' home to you (and I want it all)
Oh girl my baby (my baby)
Save tomorrow for me (aw baby)
I'm coming home to you (girl, I'm comin' home)
Oh girl my baby (my baby)
Save tomorrow for me (missing you....needing you)
I'm comin' home to you (wanting you...each and every minute of the day)
Oh girl my baby (yeah)
Save tomorrow for me (I know you know. Sugar, I know you know.)
I'm coming home to you (I'm comin' home to you)
Oh girl my baby (?)
Away too long
Missing you so I'm comin' home
Save me tomorrow
Away too long
Missing you so I'm comin' home
Save me tomorrow
Save tomorrow {Repeat away too long...}
(Baby save tomorrow 'cause I'm comin home)
(Because without you I feel so alone)

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
