* FanFlattering: According to a post made by them on Instagram, "Glad You Exist" is meant to be this. However, the lyrics reference one-night stands and drunk late-night texts, suggesting the common song trope of the narrator being in several unfavorable relationships before finding the right one, ''à la'' "[[Music/RascalFlatts Bless the Broken Road]]".

* GrowOldWithMe: Present in "From the Ground Up":
-->Someday we'll wake up\\
With thousands of pictures\\
Sixty-five years in this little house\\
I won't trade for nothing, the life that we built\\
I'll kiss you goodnight and say I love you still\\
And we'll build this love from the ground up\\
For worse or for better\\
And I will be all you need...
