Despite the composition’s very upbeat atmosphere and tone, the song details the failure of a relationship. Frontman Leo Wyndham describes the song as “a break-up song, but… positive.”

[Verse 1]
Sundown
Ever so slow now
Remind me I'm a free man
Free-er than I've been
It's something I'm feeling
I'm wonderfully breathing
Blessed in the rainfall
Cleansed like the downpour
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's fine to end our time
Be safe, be true, and I'll think of you
[Chorus]
Live well, you reap what you sow
The future is bright if we can ebb with the flow
You're something, I'm nothing, we were everything
Anything to save me from the goodness she gave me
[Verse 2]
Moonrise
Over my headlights
And I'm on the right trail
I've taken my life there
And tied it upside down
You're living for that sweet sound
You laugh like the warm sun
Cuts through me like the only one
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's fine to end our time
Be safe, be true, and I'll think of you
[Chorus]
Live well, you reap what you sow
The future is bright if we can ebb with the flow
You're something, I'm nothing, we were everything
Anything to save me from the goodness she gave me
[Bridge]
It's nothing less, a mystery
How it came to this I see
And if it comes to this I know
We'll have had more than most did so
In a dream that I have had
We departed, ended what we had started
And I pray it doesn't come to that
If it does thanks for the love we had
[Chorus]
Live well, you reap what you sow
The future is bright if we can ebb with the flow
You're something, I'm nothing, we were everything
Anything to save me from the goodness she gave me
Live well, you reap what you sow
The future is bright if we can ebb with the flow
You're something, I'm nothing, we were everything
Anything to save me from the goodness she gave me
