We made love for an album
Everything went quiet at once
So good to be lying
Happy and sane in your arms
I don't care what they do
'Cause being here with you
Is news to me
Tell everybody
The lights are back on
We made civic art
Under a streetlight
Something for the drivers tonight
Monday's my Sunday
I don't have a thing to do
But try and get up
While it's still light
I don't care what they do
'cause being here with you
is news to me.
Tell everybody
the lights are back on.
Yeah, it's news to me.
Tell everybody
the lights are back on.
Dearheart,
How I've been everywhere
Dearheart,
How I've been everywhere.
Everywhere.
Everywhere.
Everywhere.
Everywhere.
And I don't care what they do
'cause being here with you
It's news to me.
Tell everybody now
the lights are back on.
Yeah, it's news to me.
The lights are back on.
Yeah it's news, it's news,
tell everybody
the lights are back on.
The lights are back on.

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
