Ah, ah, ah

Honestly, what will become of me?
Don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really, life is dandy
We are what we don't see
We miss everything daydreaming

Flames to dust (dust)
Lovers to friends (friends)
Why do all good things come to an end (end)?
Flames to dust (dust)
Lovers to friends (friends)
Why do all good things come to an end (end)?
Come to an end (end), come to an
Why do all good things come to an end (end)?
Come to an end (end), come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Traveling, I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay (stay)
Young and restless
Living this way, I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in, and I don't cry
I only feel gravity, and I wonder why

Flames to dust (dust)
Lovers to friends (friends)
Why do all good things come to an end (end)?
Flames to dust (dust)
Lovers to friends (friends)
Why do all good things come to an end (end)?
Come to an end (end), come to an
Why do all good things come to an (end)
Come to an end (end), come to an
Why do all good things come to an

Well, the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon, so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon, so that they could
Die, die, die, die

Flames to dust (dust)
Lovers to friends (friends)
Why do all good things come to an end (end)?
Flames to dust (dust)
Lovers to friends (friends)
Why do all good things come to an end (end)?
Come to an end (end), come to an (end)
Why do all good things come to an (end)
Come to an end (end), come to an (end)
Why do all good things come to an

Well, the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should
Stay away for a day
'Til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling
And the clouds were dropping
And the rain forgot how to bring salvation
The dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die

    "Well the dogs were barking at a new moon Whistling a new tune Hoping it would come soon And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day 'til the feeling went away And the sky was falling on the clouds were dropping and the rain forgot how to bring salvation the dogs were barking at the new moon Whistling a new tune Hoping it would come soon so that they could die."

    I love, love, love, LOVE this part of this song! I like how the personifications of the sun, clouds, rain, and clouds sounded like a mini story, a sad tale, of a day that the sun and clouds became apathetic (like human beings) and decided to cause an apocalyptic scenario. This song is beautiful no matter what mood you're in though! :)

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
