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”
Wakin' up to kiss you and nobody's there
The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air
It's hard
Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow runnin' 'round
It's funny how things never change in this old town
So far from the stars
And I wanna tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playin' in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now
If the whole world was watchin', I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you, mm
I saw that you moved on with someone new
In the pub that we met, he's got his arms around you
It's so hard
So hard
And I wanna tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playin' in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now
'Cause if the whole world was watchin', I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you, mm
And I know that it's wrong
That I can't move on
But there's somethin' 'bout you
'Cause if the whole world was watchin', I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you, mm
Everything comes back to you, mm
The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air
It's hard
Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow runnin' 'round
It's funny how things never change in this old town
So far from the stars
And I wanna tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playin' in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now
If the whole world was watchin', I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you, mm
I saw that you moved on with someone new
In the pub that we met, he's got his arms around you
It's so hard
So hard
And I wanna tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playin' in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now
'Cause if the whole world was watchin', I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you, mm
And I know that it's wrong
That I can't move on
But there's somethin' 'bout you
'Cause if the whole world was watchin', I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you
Over and over, the only truth
Everything comes back to you, mm
Everything comes back to you, mm

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
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.
