I'm trying not to feel you but...u just brushed by
And if you dare to cross that line you know, my toes will step on fire
Oh, sizzle when it's face on face, and skin on skin
I'm trying to keep you out and I'm trying to keep me in

One hundred million eyes behind these walls
Watching you, hearing you, knowing you

Keep me a secret
Keep me out your arms
Keep my kisses off your lipstick, stop me swallowing your charms
Keep yourself a secret, lock up all your doors
I'll keep you out of my dreams, just you keep me out of yours

I'm needing not to notice you but you grabbed my eye
Don't let embraces linger, try to keep our arms untied
See, there you go again, you're making me mad
'Cause I'm drawn to this danger, oh, it's making me mad!

One hundred million reasons to ignore wanting to be with you
One hundred million eyes behind these walls
Watching you, hearing you, knowing you

Keep me a secret
Keep me out your arms
Keep my kisses off your lipstick, stop me swallowing your charms
Keep yourself a secret, lock up all your doors
I'll keep you out of my dreams, just you keep me out of yours

All I'm asking is for nothing
And if nothing is enough for you
Oh leave it unsaid
Keep me inside your head
Under your breath...

Keep me a secret
Keep me out your arms
Keep my kisses off your lipstick, stop me swallowing your charms
Keep yourself a secret, lock up all your doors
I'll keep you out of my dreams, just you keep me out of yours

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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

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.
