[Chorus]
If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
If you keep losing me, you're gonna be bored
If you're up chimney, sweep under rubble covers
If you keep counting sheep and being adored

You're a tombstone in the mud
Playing twister in a bubble again
I need a breath, a wind so pure
To dry up the mud over me
To be reborn, not born again

Erase my regret from the start
Shot the model
Flaking temporary skin, you're no burden
Such reduction
Such seductive silent wine, hop scotch trigger

[Chorus]

You're a tombstone in the mud
Playing twister in a bubble again
If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
If you keep losing me, you're gonna be
If you keep losing sleep over other lovers
If you keep losing me

    Absolutely. This song - hell, this album - is brilliant. I have always loved Silverchair, and this is the most mature, honest and finely crafted album of their career.

    This song just makes you want to get up and dance!

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Magical

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.
