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.
Last thing I remember, sayin’ bye to yesterday
Glad to see it over, pullin’ covers over my head
But what were You doin’ while I dreamt the night away
‘Cause I can tell that somethin’s different
And my eyes ain’t even open yet
I’m smellin’ coffee
Birds are singin’ just outside
Here come Your mercy streamin’ in with the morning light
My heart is racing waking up to Your smile
It’s a good morning, yeah
It’s a good morning
Well I remember readin’
You’re the God who never sleeps
And while I’ve been dreamin’
You’ve been singing over me, yeah
Singin’ about my freedom
Wakin’ me up to hear Your song
And now I can’t dance hard enough
‘Cause yesterday is gone, gone, gone!
Chorus
Every little breath, every heartbeat
Is a gift of love that You give to me
You keep givin’ when I’m asleep
‘Cause I know You never stop watchin’ over me
I wake up, my past is gone
‘Cause Your mercy’s new with the morning sun
I’m forgiven, I’m free, it’s a brand new day
‘Cause Your faithfulness is the greatest!
Repeat chorus
Glad to see it over, pullin’ covers over my head
But what were You doin’ while I dreamt the night away
‘Cause I can tell that somethin’s different
And my eyes ain’t even open yet
I’m smellin’ coffee
Birds are singin’ just outside
Here come Your mercy streamin’ in with the morning light
My heart is racing waking up to Your smile
It’s a good morning, yeah
It’s a good morning
Well I remember readin’
You’re the God who never sleeps
And while I’ve been dreamin’
You’ve been singing over me, yeah
Singin’ about my freedom
Wakin’ me up to hear Your song
And now I can’t dance hard enough
‘Cause yesterday is gone, gone, gone!
Chorus
Every little breath, every heartbeat
Is a gift of love that You give to me
You keep givin’ when I’m asleep
‘Cause I know You never stop watchin’ over me
I wake up, my past is gone
‘Cause Your mercy’s new with the morning sun
I’m forgiven, I’m free, it’s a brand new day
‘Cause Your faithfulness is the greatest!
Repeat chorus

Another Love
Tom Odell

I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
No Comments!!! what?!!??!?!?!! Anyway, I really like this song. Sometimes I listen to it on my way to work in the morning because its a great get up and go song.
