This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
words in my head
atom splitting up the twins
rocks inside my head again
keeps me from your bed
sends me errand boy at swim
to drag my lake for scars
do the stars conspire
to kill us off with loneliness
am i so inspired that i could save
the both of us
stayed up all night
rubbing words but they don't take
now the sun says
what a mess you've made
with a bag of beer
held like the last girl on earth
to keep your hands from words
do the stars conspire to pin us
down like butterflies
a life on the trial the hot stare america
sunrise cemetery nervous breakdown
saw my angel making eyes at strangers
i was indisposed i couldn't blame her
know i came to bury and wound up staying
verse in my head
first light fingers rake the hills
turns a landscape into lines
finds the phantom limbs
connects the dots i got her name
from an orange rhyming dictionary
sunrise cemetery nervous breakdown
saw my angel making stories for me
now i know her and she meant to save me
with an orange rhyming dictionary
do the stars conspire to shock us into tiny measures
can you survive going crazy every time you see her?

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/

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
"can you survive going crazy every time you see her?" that about sums up how im feeling right now, Blake rules!
nothing rhymes with orange. jets to brazil are amazing.
About writers block, no?
This is just a small sample of what happens when blake gets a pen and paper. All of these words, which under anyother circumstances would make no sense, just flow like they were supposed to be together

i stayed up half the night trying to think of something that rhymes with orange. plase post if you find a word. thats real. in english. the. end. stop.
That is really clever. I love blake more!
I thought about it for awhile and the closest I could come was porridge.
Jets to Brazil are the greatest. Porridge and orange.. pretty close!
"do the stars conspire to shock us into tiny measures? can you survive going crazy every time you see her?"
i love these lines. this song is very clever, especially if you look in to it. jets to brazil songs are great like that, they have so much hidden meaning.
