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”
(Mwah!)
(Mwah!)
When you look at me, tell me what do you see?
This is what you get it's the way I am
When I look at you I wanna be, I wanna be somewhere close to heaven with Neanderthal man
Don't go, I know you want to touch me
Here there and everywhere
Sparks fly when we are together, you can't deny the facts of life
You don't have to act like a star
Tryin' moves in the back your car
Don't you know that we can go far
'Cause tonight you gonna get my-
Don't play the games that you play

You could be my baby, what's your star sign?
Won't you take a step into the lion's den?
I can hear my conscience calling me, calling me, say I'm gonna be a bad girl again
Why don't you come on over, we can't leave this all undone
Got the devil on my shoulder, there's no place for you to run
You don't have to act like a star
Tryin' moves in the back your car
Don't you know that we can go far

If you lose your head, I'll find you
Sending you my kiss
If you forget, I'll remind you
If you're paranoid, I'm behind you
If you lose your head, I'll find you, kiss kiss

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.
Magical

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.
