Don't say you're giving it your all because you're not
And it seems like we've been here before
Don't you give it everything
Until it's worth you giving everything
So sweet, so short
I swear I'm giving it the best I've got
I spent my life being what other people say I'm not
These words run silent through your mind
Until they're tied in knots
That's all I've got

So you say it's not easy to do what you do
But I know the only person that you're fooling is you
Believe it or not, sometimes it's music meets art
It's never felt better to say
Just fade away

One more reason just to leave this all behind
But now we've just run out of time
And goodbyes have never been so sweet
Until I realized you weren't anything
So sweet, so short
I swear I'm giving it the best I've got
I spent my life being what other people say I'm not

So you say it's not easy to do what you do
But I know the only person that you're fooling is you
Believe it or not, sometimes it's music meets art
It's never felt better to say
Just fade away

Sorry, I'm not used to giving into everything you put me through
And I'm sorry that here too
See, everything you've done was just so damn wrong
So you say it's not easy to do what you do
So you say it's not easy to do what you do

So you say it's not easy to do what you do
But I know the only person that you're fooling is you
Believe it or not, sometimes it's music meets art
It's never felt better to say
Just fade away

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.

Blue
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.

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.
