This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Baby, I've just been sitting here thinking
How blessed I am to have someone like you in my life
And I'm so excited, so, so, excited
About being with you for the rest of my life
Listen
Looking at all this land, damn I use to be a lonely man
Could never understand, why I had no one to take my hand
But then the weather changed
Mother-nature brought the sun my way
Now girl you're who I am and I have you for the rest of my days
How the sun comes up in the early morning time
Girl I vow to be forever loving you rain or shine
How the moon takes us on this romantic globe
I'll be lovin' you forever more, ooh, oh yeah
Now I used to think that I would never, have a serious relationship
Always praying for that one to come along and give me what I miss
But now those thoughts are no more
Ever since you came into my life
It's like heaven opened up its doors
Showered down on me the perfect wife, ooh, oh
How the sun comes up in the early morning time
Girl I vow to be forever loving you rain or shine
How the moon takes us on this romantic globe
I'll be lovin' you forever more, ooh, oh yeah
Baby, now our house, our house, is a home
The car, we own, what's mine is yours
The keys to the doors, my family, my family, my friend, my friends
The church, we belong together Heaven drum say
Our house is a home the car, we own
What's mine is yours the keys to the doors
My family, my family, my friend, my friends
The church we belong together and it's on
How the sun comes up in the early morning time
Girl I vow to be forever loving you rain or shine
How the moon takes us on this romantic globe
I'll be lovin' you forever more
How the sun comes up in the early morning time
Girl I vow to be forever loving you rain or shine
How the moon takes us on this romantic globe
I'll be lovin' you forever more
How the sun comes up in the early morning time
Girl I vow to be forever loving you rain or shine
How the moon takes us on this romantic globe
I'll be lovin' you forever more
How the sun comes up in the early morning time
Girl I vow to be forever loving you rain or shine
How the moon takes us on this romantic globe
I'll be lovin' you forever more
How the sun comes up in the early morning time
Girl I vow to be forever loving you rain or shine
How the moon takes us on this romantic globe
I'll be lovin' you forever more
How blessed I am to have someone like you in my life
And I'm so excited, so, so, excited
About being with you for the rest of my life
Listen
Looking at all this land, damn I use to be a lonely man
Could never understand, why I had no one to take my hand
But then the weather changed
Mother-nature brought the sun my way
Now girl you're who I am and I have you for the rest of my days
How the sun comes up in the early morning time

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
