I saw her yesterday
And I've never I felt the feeling
Like the one I felt today
And now
It's taking over me
I've never met anyone like you
'cause I never could find the words to write you

[Chorus]
She's been on my mind (she's working overtime)
She's got perfect reason's
Said she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I believe her when she says
Life could be so simple if we all just learned to pray

She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight
Tonight

She sits there all alone
And she's reading from the chapter
That she sometimes calls her own
And now
She's taking over me
'cause the girl I once rejected
Has now become the girl of my dreams

[Chorus]

She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight

She's not an ordinary girl,
I can see it in her eyes
I'm just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night (oh last night)

She's been on my mind
She's working overtime
She's got perfect reason's
Said she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I believe her when she said
Life could be so simple if we all just learned to pray

She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I said good bye to the broken hearted
And I could never express the way
I felt before tonight

She's not an ordinary girl,
I can see it in her eyes
I'm just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night

    I need to check the liner notes to make sure that is completely right, I am not 100% sure.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

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.
