Look up on the wall baby,
Hand me down my shootin' iron
Look up on the wall baby,
Hand me down my shootin' iron
Call your mother long distance,
Tell her to expect your body home
If the city won't bury you baby,
I believe the county will
If the city won't bury you baby,
I believe the county will
You made your last mistake,
You going way out on the boot hill
Lord look out baby I don't want to murder you
I don't want to hurts you baby
'cause you gave me my first thrill
I don't want to hurts you woman,
'cause you gave me my first thrill
You did me so wrong,
You're going way out on that boot hill
Going out on boot hill baby
Hand me down my shootin' iron
Look up on the wall baby,
Hand me down my shootin' iron
Call your mother long distance,
Tell her to expect your body home
If the city won't bury you baby,
I believe the county will
If the city won't bury you baby,
I believe the county will
You made your last mistake,
You going way out on the boot hill
Lord look out baby I don't want to murder you
I don't want to hurts you baby
'cause you gave me my first thrill
I don't want to hurts you woman,
'cause you gave me my first thrill
You did me so wrong,
You're going way out on that boot hill
Going out on boot hill baby

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
