I realize the best part of love is the thinnest slice
And it don't count for much
But I'm not letting go
I believe there's still much to believe in

So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me

You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on (carry on)

Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted

So lift your eyes if you feel you can (feel you can)
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan (show you a plan)
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me (oh, oh-oh)

You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long (I've been loving you too long)
It started so easy
You want to carry on (carry on)

Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted

You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on (on, carry on)

Lost in love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted

Now I'm lost (lost in love and I don't know much)
Lost in love (was thinking aloud and fell out of touch)
Lost in love (but I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted)
Lost in love
Now I'm lost (lost in love and I don't know much)
I'm lost in love (was thinking aloud and fell out of touch)
I'm lost in love (but I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted)
Lost in love

    I developed a love and an appreciation for Air Supply because my father liked them. :) The p.o.v. of some one finally waking and realizing what their relationship is and what it means and that they know they haven't been involved for some time and they fell back in love with their other...I dunno I'm lost...

    Original a misguided 'reinvention' of "The Star-Spangled Banner," this song was intended to be played during the execution of the renowned Puerto Rican pirate Roberto Cofresi in 1825. The firing squad became anxious during the opening cords and did not allow for the song to reach the designated climax (the third "eager to be what you wanted") before firing. From embarrassment, the song was ignored until 1980, surviving only through musical scores coded in the painting "The Hay Wain" by John Constable. While viewing a traveling art exhibit in the late 1970s, the nascent Australian group "Air Supply" cracked the code and saw the revived music as a perfect statement of pro-Australian republicanism as a salvation for the country's aboriginal population ("So lift your eyes if you feel you can / Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan / I figured it out / What I needed was someone to show me").

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
