This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
How many times have set the rules for me
And how many times have you told me you were leavin'
I'm not trying to listen
Cause it's all the same
And why
Why are you constantly believin'
That I could give you what you need and
Baby, baby please don't put your faith in me
I don't know what to say 'cause it's all in a dream to me anyway
[Chorus]
You can catch me while I'm sleeping
While I'm dreamin' too
Its a lonely lonely lonely place for me baby
It must get lonely for you too
Them people always fallin'
In and out of love and it can be pretty painful too
And baby oh baby I'm just not strong enough
Sad but true so tell me what's the use?
[Chorus]
So catch me while I'm sleeping
When I'm dreaming too
So catch me while I'm sleeping
[Chorus: x2]
(catch me while I'm falling)
(it's a lonely lonely lonely lonely place)
(must be lonely for you too)
And how many times have you told me you were leavin'
I'm not trying to listen
Cause it's all the same
And why
Why are you constantly believin'
That I could give you what you need and
Baby, baby please don't put your faith in me
I don't know what to say 'cause it's all in a dream to me anyway
[Chorus]
You can catch me while I'm sleeping
While I'm dreamin' too
Its a lonely lonely lonely place for me baby
It must get lonely for you too
Them people always fallin'
In and out of love and it can be pretty painful too
And baby oh baby I'm just not strong enough
Sad but true so tell me what's the use?
[Chorus]
So catch me while I'm sleeping
When I'm dreaming too
So catch me while I'm sleeping
[Chorus: x2]
(catch me while I'm falling)
(it's a lonely lonely lonely lonely place)
(must be lonely for you too)

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
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Wow, no one commented on this? Well I think this is one of her best songs. Methinks it's about when your lonley, you know when it feels like your falling in a pre-petual (sp?) nightmare an' ya just want someone to catch you.
I love this song. Makes me very some times.
I love this song. Makes me cry sometimes.
yeah im listening it right now its great makes me cry too...
i like this song...i like when she says ppl always falling in and out of love......its almost painfull i think shes talking about a bat motional balance
I think it's about feeling unworthy for the love of somebody else. And the only time you deserve it is when you sleep, because then you can be all that you want to be. Just a thought. =]
