Wait till you fall asleep
And I'll push the car down the driveway
Turn the engine over
And I head straight for the highway
You're not the only one who can fake love
But I did what I had to when no one can blame me for that

Yours isn't the first heartache in the world
Your wounds will mend
You'll be whole once again
Again

Something awakens you from deep within the night
But you're facing the wall again
Blow it off and pull the sheets tighter
As my tail lights are greeting the sunrise
The shore is a sight for sore eyes
And as my knees hit the sand
I realize that I can't go back

If there's nothing ventured then I guess there's nothing gained
If it's not worth the pain then it won't be worth the pain

Yours isn't the first heartache in the world
Your wounds will mend
You'll be whole once again

Now I'm racing butterflies in the hearts of those who feel alive
Studying metamorphosis, from ordinary a perfect being
Justice in as changing late, timing is and will be everything
And when it happens for, you will begin to understand

Yours isn't the first heartache in the world
Your wounds will mend
You'll be whole once again
It's the last call
Blow a kiss, walk it off
Don't try to speak
Just go back to sleep

(Yours isn't the first heartache in the world, your wounds will mend)
Just go back to sleep
(Yours isn't the first heartache in the world, your wounds will mend)
Yours isn't the first, yours isn't the first, heartache in the world
(Yours isn't the first heartache in the world, your wounds will mend)
Yours isn't the first heartache in the world
Your wounds will mend
Yours isn't the first heartache in the world...

    amazing song. one of my favorites on the new CD. pretty self-explanatory i believe. just a few corrections. the interlude should go:

    now i'm raising butterflies in the hearts of those who feel alive studying their metamorphosis from ordinary to perfect beings just the same as changing lanes, timing is and will be everything and when half is full you will begin to understand

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.

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

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.
