I'm getting stupid sitting here
Waiting for the light to change
Shadows rearrange

My brain is dull, I'm holding on
We need to break these walls down
Need to finish seeing

If I could fly a million miles
Could not keep me down
Swim the endless suction
Just need you around

If I could fly a million miles
Could not keep me down
Swim the endless suction
Just need you around

I'm going crazy stuck in here
Am I made of bigger things
A body big as dreams

My voice is empty without you
Let me sing to you
All our played out love songs

I feel the size of an empty bed
How will I find you?
How will I find you?

I feel the size of an empty bed
How will I find you?
How will I find you?

I feel the size of an empty bed
How will I find you?
How will I find you?

I feel the size of an empty bed
How will I find you?
How will I find you?

I feel the size of an empty bed
How will I find you?
How will I find you?

I feel the size of an empty bed
How will I find you?
How will I find you?

    heathereve I think you pretty much nailed, but a there's a bit. He realizes he may have potential with out her (Am I made of bigger things/A body big as dreams) but still feels empty with out her. No matter what he does or how far he goes, he still needs her. He still wants to find her (in his bed, of couse). It's a pretty intense "I miss you" break up song.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

“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.

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.
