when i held you last night, i could not believe
that some day not too long off i would have to leave
but i can't tell you what you'll always mean to me
there's things you just can't say, and apparently just can't see
but i know that sooner or later, we'll be together
everything can't keep going wrong forever
well i don't know what you want and what i want and whatever
but things have been worse, but things could be better
maybe you can't be the girl i want you to
maybe you don't understand yourself, but see, i do
so maybe there's an answer -- i'm asking you
there's so many things that i can't keep a perspective
i'm losing sight of the primary objective
i want to say "to heck with it," things are getting hectic
but every now and then there's that glimmer of perfection
but all the time i don't know what's good for me
or which way to go
and i told myself i didn't care about that
but i cut myself in half
there's a time for changing, and for letting go
i can't save the future now, but let me know
where i think i'm going, what i've left behind
what i look forward to knowing, what i hope to find
all leads back to one place, straight into your arms
i can't be complete unless i know where you are
"uh, this message is for mr. fincher.
uh, my call is in reference to david fincher,
and my name is david fincher.
david, please contact mr. fincher.
you can call collect at 708-fincher.
again, my name is mr. fincher, and my name is mr. fincher.
please call. thank you."

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
