Big deal, that's how you do it, hey!
Good luck and that's enough, yeah
First take, it's never too late
Cause I've been through it
Why don't we take a chance?

Hard times, it's alright
And you know that I've been through it
Mistakes, we all have made them
'Cause I've been through it
Why don't we take a chance?

Over and over
Over and over again

You might get lucky (Take a chance)
Forget the rough times (Take a chance)
We'll have to get it straight
'Cause I've been through it
Why don't we take a chance?

Cheap thrills, that's how you use it, hey!
So hot like it or not, yeah
Too much, I'm on the rocks
'Cause I've been through it
Why don't we take a chance?

Over and over
Over and over again

You might get lucky (Take a chance)
Forget the rough times (Take a chance)
We'll have to get it straight
'Cause I've been through it
Why don't we take a chance?

You might get lucky (Take a chance)
Forget the rough times (Take a chance)
We'll have to get it straight
'Cause I've been through it
Why don't we take a chance?

Hey, hey, hey

Cheap thrills, that's how you use it
So hot like it or not

Hey, hey, hey

Over and over
Over and over

Hey, hey, hey

You feel that's how you do it
Good luck, that's enough

Over and over
Over and over

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.

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.

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.
