How did we get to this?
I used to believe in tomorrow
So many memories I miss
I need a real life to borrow

You can't help me go to sleep
Now I'm here and you are free

So I close my eyes for another night
And I know that someday, you'll be close
Try to wipe away those lonely days
Since you're hanging around with my ghost
Don't go

The cold's back again
I thought that I left it behind me
I need another new friend
Always the darkness that finds me

I want to say inside this dream
Still remember you and me

So I close my eyes for another night
And I know that someday, you'll be close
Try to wipe away those lonely days
Since you're hanging around with my ghost
Don't go

All these things I held inside me
Can't be what you want
I'm gone
And I fall out of all these dreams
That led me in to the dark
And all these heartbreaks piled up high

So I close my eyes for another night
And I know that someday, you'll be close
Try to wipe away those lonely days
Since you're hanging around with my ghost
Don't go

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.

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/

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
