If you ask me to come, I'll say, "Go"
If you say you love me, I'll say, "Sure, if you say so"
Whatever you tell me, I won't believe you
And if you try, try to make me

Ooh, I would like to know
Which one is willing to lose?

All along the wall between us
I see a teacher there for us
I look at the moon and see right through it
I lean on the wall there for us

There is a door where I am standing
Without a key, without a clue
Without you, I am wondering
Wondering about you

It's a cold cold night, are you gonna call me?
Tell me about how I go on and on
About you being like it used to be
How it's all about me

Ooh, I would like to know
Who is the wounded one?
Which one will make the move?
Which one is willing to lose?

All along the wall between us
I see a teacher there for us
I look at the moon and see right through it
I lean on the wall there for us

You're my Heaven and my Hell
And my feet, the only sound
You're the shadow in my mind
I am hollow all the time

All along the wall between us
I see a teacher there for us
I look at the moon and see right through it
I lean on the wall between us

I see a teacher there for us
I look at the moon and see right through it
I lean on the wall there for us

    The "teacher" is God, trying to help her repair her relationship.

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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
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.
