When I came here there was more
Now I've come back to destroy
And I've got nothing left

And it's a shame what we've become
When we hurt the ones we love
And it's a place I cannot go...
Anymore

When we collide we lose ourselves
When we collide we break in two
And as we push and we shove
And we hurt the ones we love
It's a hard mistake
When we collide
We break

When the cold comes crashing down
And the fight lost what it's about
I could tell that you'd left

And it's a shame what we've become
When we hurt the ones we love
And it's a place I cannot go...
Anymore

When we collide we lose ourselves
When we collide we break in two
And as we push and we shove
And we hurt the ones we love
It's a hard mistake
When we collide
When we collide
It's a hard mistake
When we collide

It's a mistake

When we collide we lose ourselves
When we collide we break in two
And as we push and we shove
And we hurt the ones we love
It's a hard mistake
When we collide
When we collide
It's a hard mistake
When we collide
We break
We break

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

American Town
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.

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.
