In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Your laugh, Your smile you drive me wild, Your eyes intoxicate
I get restless, Leaves me breathless, I can hardly wait
To be a man, The best I can, To sing you songs, To make you dance
I'll be the fool who takes a chance, To end up next to you
I wouldn't change a thing, T-shirt and cutoff jeans
From your head down to your feet, You're perfect to me
The way you tie your hair, The way you just don't care
You're perfect to me, From your head down to your feet
You're crazy cool, Make your own rules, That I love to watch you break
I'm confessing, You keep me guessing, I can hardly wait
To be a man, The best I can, To sing you songs, To make you dance
I'll be the fool who takes a chance, To end up next to you
I wouldn't change a thing, T-shirt and cutoff jeans
From your head down to your feet, You're perfect to me
The way you tie your hair, The way you just don't care
You're perfect to me, From your head down to your feet
You got me singing oh oh oh, You got me losing all control
Girl you got me falling into you
You got me singing oh oh oh, Got me spinning, Don't let go
Girl you got me falling into you
You, I wouldn't change a thing, T-shirt and cutoff jeans
From your head down to your feet, You're perfect to me
The way you tie your hair, The way you just don't care
You're perfect to me, From your head down to your feet
My superstar girl, my sweet little honey
Giving all the boys a run for their money
Got it going on it ain't even funny
From your head down to your feet
I get restless, Leaves me breathless, I can hardly wait
To be a man, The best I can, To sing you songs, To make you dance
I'll be the fool who takes a chance, To end up next to you
I wouldn't change a thing, T-shirt and cutoff jeans
From your head down to your feet, You're perfect to me
The way you tie your hair, The way you just don't care
You're perfect to me, From your head down to your feet
You're crazy cool, Make your own rules, That I love to watch you break
I'm confessing, You keep me guessing, I can hardly wait
To be a man, The best I can, To sing you songs, To make you dance
I'll be the fool who takes a chance, To end up next to you
I wouldn't change a thing, T-shirt and cutoff jeans
From your head down to your feet, You're perfect to me
The way you tie your hair, The way you just don't care
You're perfect to me, From your head down to your feet
You got me singing oh oh oh, You got me losing all control
Girl you got me falling into you
You got me singing oh oh oh, Got me spinning, Don't let go
Girl you got me falling into you
You, I wouldn't change a thing, T-shirt and cutoff jeans
From your head down to your feet, You're perfect to me
The way you tie your hair, The way you just don't care
You're perfect to me, From your head down to your feet
My superstar girl, my sweet little honey
Giving all the boys a run for their money
Got it going on it ain't even funny
From your head down to your feet

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.
