I walked her to the plane in Phoenix
I said: "Say hello to your mama."
She couldn't even look me in the eye
I drove out to the desert
Just like nothing happened
But somewhere in the darkness
I heard her say goodbye

[Chorus]
Now I hear voices in the wind
Sayin she ain't comin back to me
I look for guidance in the sky
But the stars have all gone out tonight
I feel like the love of my life is dying
Even the man in the moon is crying

I'm burnin up this blacktop
Headin down to Austin
I wonder if she misses me tonight
I wish that I could tell her
How much I love her
And I wish this damned ol' Thunderbird could fly

Now I hear voices in the wind
Sayin she ain't comin back to me
I look for guidance in the sky
But the stars have all gone out tonight
I feel like the love of my life is dying
Even the man in the moon is crying

Now I hear voices in the wind
Sayin she ain't coming back to me
I look for guidance in the sky
But the stars have all gone out tonight
I feel like the love of my life is dying
Even the man in the moon is crying

Even the man in the moon is crying
Even the man in the moon is crying
Even the man in the moon is crying

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

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.
