The song "In The Shape Of You" by Joey Greer appears to be about a person who is experiencing heartbreak and struggling to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics describe the singer's inability to sleep and their reliance on drinking to numb their emotions and make themselves tired. The mention of "runnin' around in circles" suggests that despite their efforts to cope with the pain through alcohol, they are unable to fully escape the emptiness and loneliness left behind by their former lover. The singer reflects on their attempts to find comfort by seeking the attention of other people ("held the girls that wanted me"), but despite these interactions, they still feel lonely. They question whether time is truly capable of healing their wounds, seeking guidance and direction on how to cope with the "hole" in their heart that is shaped by the absence of their ex-partner. The idea of alcohol and drinking as a coping mechanism is presented as both a temporary relief and a destructive force. While the singer acknowledges that drinking may provide temporary solace, they also recognize the detrimental effects it has on their emotional well-being ("it'll tear me to pieces"). Towards the end of the song, the singer contemplates turning to faith and filling the void in their heart with religious beliefs, as suggested by the mention of listening to their mother and filling it with Jesus. Overall, "In The Shape Of You" explores the aftermath of a failed relationship, highlighting the struggles, confusion, and search for healing that one experiences in the midst of heartbreak.
