This song feels like it is an account of a fight/conflict with a lover. It seems to be speaking of the unbelievable pain that is felt when such thing occurs. I see the line that says "That leaving wasn't easing all the heaving in my veins" is describing the anxiety one feels when they are suddenly distant from their partner. I see Justin as talking about trying to become grounded in the situation, which is what he means by "trying to get his feet out of the creeks". In the end, he is saying "don't go, you're my A-Team" and leaving it at that.

This song reminds me so much of "Woods". The auto-tuned vocals of course, but also that it sounds so slurred, and almost drunk, just like woods. It's awesome!
