Last call at the hospital
You slept through it all
And these four walls warn you
that your surgery it might not be the key
to fix the memory of you and me

Doctor, I don't know what I've done
There's more to this than my
ex-love and my ex-limbs could ever in my life begin to explain
everytime I think of her
and what went on that night
I don't see it, instead I hear it
A song so awful and so perfect

Last call at the hospital
You slept through it all
And these four walls warn you
that your surgery it might not be the key
to fix the memory of you and me

Doctor, I don't know what I'm gonna do
I need this song to be shouted out
and to be heard by everyone
It's like each word and
every chord refuses to be ignored
This is bigger than me,
but with no hands and even less skill
I don't know how it ever will come out

Doctor, I think it's her I hear
It's always been,
but if this pain can be arranged
in such a way to bring out beauty
then why and who am I to stop it?
I'll bring her back and I won't stop until it's done
Until these nightmares are done
I need her

Last call at the hospital
You slept through it all
And these four walls warn you
that your surgery it might not be the key
to fix the memory of you and, of you and me

I need her
I need this
The set is on to sing themselves, we just sing along
So if death's the answer than the question is the trigger
and I'm just a firing pin
Yeah I'm just a messenger
So if death's the answer than the question is the trigger
and I'm just a firing pin
And I'm just a messenger
doomed to death and maybe delivery

Last call at the hospital
You slept through it all
And these four walls warn you
that your surgery it might not be the key
to fix the memory of you and me

Last call at the hospital
You slept through it all
And these four walls warn you
that your surgery it might not be the key
to fix the memory of you and me

    i love how she's dead and singing to him.

    has anyone noticed throughout the cd whenever he sings while he is "dreaming" the same guitar line plays in the background?

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.

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

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
