This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Between a rock
Between a rock and a hard place
There's a beating heart
Watching the lights go down on my world
Stoney faced
Letting the rope slip though my fingers
Ain't nothin' straight,
Always a riddle
Caught up in the middle of the party line
I got a brick but I can't find a window
Take me to your shelter...
Between a rock
Between a rock and a hard place
(You better lay your money down)
You'll never stop
What you started in the first place
Between a rock
You gotta roll with the punches baby
Between a rock and a hard place...
There's so many words
You place your bet you take your chances
The dealer pays
But he'll never let you leave the table
They're gonna take you lock, stock and barrel
Down to the knuckle, down on your luck
And when they've stripped you of all resistance
You can take you place...
Between a rock
Between a rock and a hard place
(You gotta lay your money down)
You'll never stop
What you started in the first place
Between a rock
You gotta roll with the punches baby
Between a rock and a hard place...
It'll take all your money
We think we like it here
Between a rock
(You gotta roll with the punches baby)
Between a rock and a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
There's a beating heart
Watching the lights go down on my world
Stoney faced
Letting the rope slip though my fingers
Ain't nothin' straight,
Always a riddle
Caught up in the middle of the party line
I got a brick but I can't find a window
Take me to your shelter...
Between a rock
Between a rock and a hard place
(You better lay your money down)
You'll never stop
What you started in the first place
Between a rock
You gotta roll with the punches baby
Between a rock and a hard place...
There's so many words
You place your bet you take your chances
The dealer pays
But he'll never let you leave the table
They're gonna take you lock, stock and barrel
Down to the knuckle, down on your luck
And when they've stripped you of all resistance
You can take you place...
Between a rock
Between a rock and a hard place
(You gotta lay your money down)
You'll never stop
What you started in the first place
Between a rock
You gotta roll with the punches baby
Between a rock and a hard place...
It'll take all your money
We think we like it here
Between a rock
(You gotta roll with the punches baby)
Between a rock and a hard place

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.

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 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.
