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”
The sun is up
I'm so happy I could scream
And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
Than here with you, it's perfect
It's all I ever wanted
Oh I almost can't believe that it's for real, so pinch me quick
I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile and a gorgeous strawberry kiss
Birds sing we swing
Clouds drift by and everything is like a dream
It's everything I wished
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again?
I know we should
Slinky as raccoons in the roof
The sun is up
I'm so fizzy I could burst
Yeah, you wet through and me headfirst
Into this is perfect
It's all I ever wanted
Ow it feels so big it almost hurts
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it some more?
I know we should
Say it will always be like this
The two of us together
It will always be like this
Forever and ever and ever (and ever and ever, forever, ever)
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it all the time?
I know that we should
I'm so happy I could scream
And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
Than here with you, it's perfect
It's all I ever wanted
Oh I almost can't believe that it's for real, so pinch me quick
I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile and a gorgeous strawberry kiss
Birds sing we swing
Clouds drift by and everything is like a dream
It's everything I wished
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again?
I know we should
Slinky as raccoons in the roof
The sun is up
I'm so fizzy I could burst
Yeah, you wet through and me headfirst
Into this is perfect
It's all I ever wanted
Ow it feels so big it almost hurts
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it some more?
I know we should
Say it will always be like this
The two of us together
It will always be like this
Forever and ever and ever (and ever and ever, forever, ever)
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it all the time?
I know that we should

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'

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/

Plastic Bag

“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.
To be honest, I kind of see this song as being sad.
I mean, obviously he's feeling happy during the song. But this:
"Say it will always be like this the two of us together It will always be like this, forever and ever and ever..."
It seems like he wants the feeling to go on forever, but it won't. Again, this is only what the song means to me, it probably didn't mean that when Robert Smith wrote it, but I think too many people on this website concentrate too much on trying to decipher what the song meant to the artist(s) who wrote/performed it, as opposed to just looking at what it means to you. Songs can have a lot of different meanings, imo.
