This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I follow the sundown,
until it hits me.
Never bring it back now.
Forever want you to see.
No, we've been crucified.
Just to cover a lie.
Different friend I'm alive.
No, you will sit there and try,
to pretend it's alright.
When they fuck with your life, yeah.
Watch your back don't do the things that you won't wanna see.
You're wacked yourself cause you're living out your pocket, dream.
Not your face as you wanna take away again.
Get your back. Living out your pocket dream.
Catch yourself as you look again.
The offers slipping in the fast lane.
Hit yourself as you hit the wall.
It's that time to fall.
Hit your back and you'll be what you wanna see.
You're wacked yourself cause you're living out your pocket, dream.
Hit your back cause you wanna take away again.
Hit yourself, living out your pocket dream.
What's up now you fucking hoe?
I am a wanna-be.
Let your sleep and the dreams that are never good,
do watch yourself but i wanna make someone a part.
Off the box as you wanna take away again.
Watch yourself, getting off your pocket dream.
Hit yourself as you lose control.
You were sitting in the fast lane.
Hit your back as you hit the wall.
Now it's that time to fall.
Not yourself cause you'll be what you wanna see.
You are the one who's been living out this pocket dream.
Hit yourself as you wanna take away again.
Watch your back, living out your pocket dream.
I
Yeah I fight, and i'm blacked again.
I
Nothings what it seems.
The way you work, the way i listen, you are present.
And I'm mellow when i'm fine,
never meant i never been to all.
You wouldn't want your soul.
You only wanna know the things that i say
And you're the one in front of me.
Now, do hit me, i lie.
Now, you hit me, i lie.
Oh yeah
Yeah,
I,
Yeah,
I.
I don't hear or know what you say.
All through the year and now i melt down.
I watched it all as it rinsed away.
I love the things that i've called you.
I fake it all and now i wash again.
I have the pains again in side me.
I paint it all as i strip away
all of the things that are riling.
And I forgive you for all the lies.
Enter my face and see through me.
And all the pain that i tucked away.
The things that i thought defy me.
And I will fear as I will see,
and i will fear with you once again.
I thank myself and live forever, and ever.
No, thought your gonna bite right through another friend.
Are the one who's been living with some (redneck).
I'm suprised that you wanna take away again.
Hit your back, living out your pocket, dream.
No, we've been through so fine.
Just to cover a lie.
Different friend i'm alive.
Yeah.
until it hits me.
Never bring it back now.
Forever want you to see.
No, we've been crucified.
Just to cover a lie.

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 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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
