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.
It's another freezing rainy day
Clouding up the biggest of another blue sky
Yellow stripes are flying past the windows
And I've miles yet to drive
I've got time for wasting time I'm thinking
Wandering the pages of my never resting mind
(chorus)
What if winter never came
What if autumn stayed the same
What if day was never night
Then we'd never say goodbye
It's another freezing rainy day
And I can't seem to get you out of my mind
If I had the means I'd try to tell you all
The things that I can never say
'cause words I never find
Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me all the words everything you wanna say
How's the view from where you're sitting
Can you see will winter just be one more day
Love it knows no boundaries
It keeps no track of wrongs
Love is greater than the distance that has formed this song
God is bigger than the things I wish that I could see
I can't stop from thinking no
I can never stop from thinking
Clouding up the biggest of another blue sky
Yellow stripes are flying past the windows
And I've miles yet to drive
I've got time for wasting time I'm thinking
Wandering the pages of my never resting mind
(chorus)
What if winter never came
What if autumn stayed the same
What if day was never night
Then we'd never say goodbye
It's another freezing rainy day
And I can't seem to get you out of my mind
If I had the means I'd try to tell you all
The things that I can never say
'cause words I never find
Tell me what you're thinking
Tell me all the words everything you wanna say
How's the view from where you're sitting
Can you see will winter just be one more day
Love it knows no boundaries
It keeps no track of wrongs
Love is greater than the distance that has formed this song
God is bigger than the things I wish that I could see
I can't stop from thinking no
I can never stop from thinking

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.
Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.
