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 watched them dancing hand in hand
They were drawing symbols in the sand
Before I see the light of dawn
I blink my eye
And they were gone gone gone
Seeing must not be believing
I can't believe my eyes
I've been waiting on a memory to return
It's on the tip of my tongue
The image was never burned
I don't know what I saw
Barely remember it at all
I've waited oh so long
Just to be turned on
I don't know what I saw
Barely remember it at all
Don't let them turn me off
I've been waiting on a memory to return
It's on the tip of my tongue
The image was never burned
The moments that I so admire
The bodies built of smokeless fire
The burdens that so heavy lay
No one can hear me pray
Seeing always seems deceiving
I can't believe my eyes
I don't know what I saw
Barely remember it at all
I've waited oh so long
Just to be turned on
I don't know what I saw
Barely remember it at all
Don't let them turn me off
Been waiting on a memory to return
It's on the tip of my tongue
The image is always burned
They were drawing symbols in the sand
Before I see the light of dawn
I blink my eye
And they were gone gone gone
Seeing must not be believing
I can't believe my eyes
I've been waiting on a memory to return
It's on the tip of my tongue
The image was never burned
I don't know what I saw
Barely remember it at all
I've waited oh so long
Just to be turned on
I don't know what I saw
Barely remember it at all
Don't let them turn me off
I've been waiting on a memory to return
It's on the tip of my tongue
The image was never burned
The moments that I so admire
The bodies built of smokeless fire
The burdens that so heavy lay
No one can hear me pray
Seeing always seems deceiving
I can't believe my eyes
I don't know what I saw
Barely remember it at all
I've waited oh so long
Just to be turned on
I don't know what I saw
Barely remember it at all
Don't let them turn me off
Been waiting on a memory to return
It's on the tip of my tongue
The image is always burned

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

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

“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.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
