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.
I've been a-searchin' all this wide world
Now finally I've found my
Candy girl
Candy girl
I found me a girl (candy girl)
She sets my heart a-whirl (candy girl)
With huggin' (huggin') and kissin' (kissin') and lov-in'
(She's mine) mi-ine (mine) mine
Whoa-oa-oa-oh-oh (candy girl)
We get along so well (candy girl)
I know just why I fell (candy girl)
She's thrillin' (thrillin') oh, chillin' (chillin'),
Yeah she's so divine
(She's mine) mine (mine) mine
Whoa-oa-oa-oh-oh (candy girl)
When we're out together
Everyone knows the way we feel
We both seem to glow with the glow of a love
And it's plain to see
Our love is real
I'm happy as can be (candy girl)
She vows eternally (candy girl)
To hold me (hold me) and love me (love me)
Until the end of time
(She's mine) mine (mine) mine
Whoa-oa-oa-oh-oh
Candy girl

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.

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.
