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”
Your sight-specific knack
I fall under attack
The only time you cross the line
Is when you're crossing back
Have you changed the song we were singing
Or have I just lost the air?
If I said your behavior suffocates
Would you care?
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't
You found the perfect spot
For Jimmy's wicked thoughts
It's in my permanent collection
Now like it or not
Wishing away that the legacy left
Came in a frame and was the victim of theft
It adds more worth to work I've done
But as long as you've had fun
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't
I didn't get your revisions
But sometimes life's not fair
To think you almost apologized
Put her there, there, there
Don't be sad at all
I'm about to get killed off
The writing's on the wall
If you believe everything that you read
Turn to the only thing that you ever need
It says to do unto others
But the thing is you do
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't
Don't stop
Don't stop
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't
I fall under attack
The only time you cross the line
Is when you're crossing back
Have you changed the song we were singing
Or have I just lost the air?
If I said your behavior suffocates
Would you care?
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't
You found the perfect spot
For Jimmy's wicked thoughts
It's in my permanent collection
Now like it or not
Wishing away that the legacy left
Came in a frame and was the victim of theft
It adds more worth to work I've done
But as long as you've had fun
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't
I didn't get your revisions
But sometimes life's not fair
To think you almost apologized
Put her there, there, there

Turn to the only thing that you ever need

But the thing is you do
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't
Don't stop
Don't stop
Don't stop, if it feels good do it
Don't

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.
Punchline

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
