Even marathon runners need to nap
He said he'd have a heart attack
If he didn't lay down
The years went by and he settled down
His house is on the edge of town
And you're so proud
You never bit off more than you could chew
You never gave out more than inconveniences you

In olden days he made enough
To build a car that runs on dust
But it ran out
Now we've got oceanic hydroponics
Bringin' back the great relax from way back when
And do you think that this will last?
Of course!
And how do you really know?
We'll use force.

Even marathon runners need to nap
I ran all the way there
And then ran back
And back was gone
Defenestrate my old ways
Grand Canyon, all the lovely days
And then dive in

Oh, that's my dad in the yellow shirt
He won the race, and then the girl
And they made me
Ineffable is life and death
Let's talk until we run out of breath
And just run along
Just run along (x4)

Even marathon runners need to nap
I ran all the way there
And then ran back
And back was gone

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.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
