Let's fall deeper into sleep
Our dreams become fake reality
I wake, I hope, I'm on my way to a coast
Where I know the roads like
The back of my hand
Familiar landscapes

And I know that this is new
Like your first day of school
And you're feeling awkward
Like you miss your home
And it leaves you with an empty feeling
I just can't take it anymore

What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from my life?
What do you want from me?
'cause my heart can't take it
My heart can't take this anymore

You feel deeply misplaced
Your world has been built to crumble
You hope and you pray
Every day, it works out
And it leaves me with this empty feeling
I just can't take it anymore

What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from my life?
What do you want from me?
'cause my heart can't take it
My heart can't take this anymore, anymore
My heart can't take this anymore, anymore

What better time than now
To bandage your bleeding
And I won't stop 'til I fix your misleading
Your charm, of course
You use as a weapon
But my heart can't take it

What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from my life?
What do you want from me?
'cause my heart can't take it
My heart can't take this anymore

What do you want from me?
(What do you want from me?)
What do you want from me?
What do you want from my life?
What do you want from me?
(What do you want from me?)
'cause my heart can't take it
My heart can't take this anymore

Let's fall deeper into sleep
Our dreams become fake reality
We hope and we pray
Every day, it works out
It leaves me with this empty feeling
I just can't take this anymore

    this song is full of absoulute heartbreak and hope at the same time , the person is questioning and asking..the other person what do you want from me? (thats pretty obvious haha)

    Sounds like there in a relationship where one of them isnt 100% commited or has somebody else on the side. Where it says "our dreams become fake reality, we hope and we pray every day it works out" I think the chick hes falling for ,is in a relationship and wont cut ties with it but still wants him as well.

    The lyrics "what do you want from me" are saying i cant keep playing these games with you anymore you either want to commit or you dont, because im starting to fall for you. He cant take it anymore, Its literly tearing him up inside ...

    This song is awesome !!

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.

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

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.
