You say you're a minute from the deep end
You cut cold the courtesy it's sink or swim now
and your body's aching for a breath I'll give it to you
With a trap door to take in of all of this

Come away come away now
You won't stand from a fall
Hear me say it
Come away come away now
'Cause your too close to me to come

I've seen the foolish shame the ways
You just kept crying with his own surprises
And your Trojan horse is big enough to save them all
And you're not a foolish one at all

Come away come away now
You won't stand from a fall
Can you hear me say it
Come away come away now
'Cause your too close to me to come

Yes you're too close

Lost the feeling you know
You're the victim of
Kick start the clothes let it go
You don't need them
Only flesh blood and bones I'm the same old guy

If I were to know today

Come away come away now
You won't stand from a fall
Hear me say it
Come away come away now
'Cause your too close now

Ooh, ooh
Come away
Oh

    I thought it was:

    Come away, come away now You're one step from a fall

    not "you won't stand from a fall"

    I think it's about someone who is about to make a really big mistake and he's trying to stop them, hence the "you're one step from a fall".

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.
Album art
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.
