You sit there talkin'
Talkin to our open mind
About the distance
The distance that we used to find
But now we have grown and into the future we will fly

We made a promise
A promise to look for the edge
Consume the present
Get drunk get high get up ahead
So then we can see that into the future we have been

Comfort creeps like a shadow figure
Slips into your mind
You'll never notice that she's there
Until your made to find
Find out what you're waiting for
Is gonna live your life
You know that you don't you ever be you so into the future you will fly

Here in this moment
You can't tell us that we don't belong
We are the heartbeat
The pulsing blood that moves us on
And this, this is our time
And into the future we will fly
Comfort creeps like a shadow figure
Slips into your mind
You'll never notice that she's there
Until your made to find
Find out what you're waiting for
Its gonna live your life
You know its you don't you ever be you so into the future you will fly

Into the future you will fly
Into the future you will fly
Into the future you will fly
Into the future you will fly (here we go)

Woo hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo

    This is what replaced "Time to Pretend" by MGMT on the Skins series 2 DVD in the final scene. Its grown on me as a better song, especially seeing as it was created for such purpose. Its about how no matter whether its a good or bad thing, the only place to go is the future. Plans will go wrong, ideas won't last, people will change, but that's all in the future, so go there, fly there, see what you can do, because you can't go back.

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”

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.

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.

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.
