One, two, three, four, five, six, seven

Well, I wrote my number down
I never wrote it down before
Were gonna bring it over like something from a film
But I didn't have the bottle at all
Well, I were looking and you kept staring
Your thoughts pairing up with mine
And when you're so pretty and I'm so shy
You properly did give me the eye, though, I'm sure you did

Well, I went outside
Couldn't say I tried and I felt regret
Because you haven't bashed me and dashed back in
'Cause the ship hasn't sailed yet
But when I did I couldn't see your face
I could see your mates but that wouldn't do
Well, I dashed around, tried to find you
But you were nowhere to be seen, oh no, no

La-la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la

Well, she moved in ways that kept her there
In our minds for days and weeks and months
I was that amazed and there she stayed
Surrounded by the "What if's?" and the "Maybe's"

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.
