Listen up cause this is not the end
You're the last thing that crossed my mind
Relationships are based on trust
Well I guess this one was based on lies

Based on lies
Based on lies
Based on lies

Listen up to the ones you trust
Just a few by your side (Your side)
Give in, everything's going to be alright
(Here we go the ones who make time)
Now it's time for me to go
I know, You know, The fights are getting old

This is the last chance
I have to say to you
So sorry but I have to go
Wash my hands of you

You say you will never change
I say, That's too bad
I'm sorry, For all the things, That you and I (Could have had)
But it's your fault, All the stupid things
That you and I have done and said
The lies, The cries, It's no wonder that you were dead

This is the last chance
I have to say to you
So sorry but I have to go
Wash my hands of you

Your honesty
Is killing me
The page I read
The word that said that you still love me
You lied to me
And you don't see
The things you've said
And now you're dead
And that's alright by me

This is the last chance
I have to say to you
So sorry but I have to go
Wash my hands of you

Listen Up 'cause this is not the end!

    I definitely don't think this is about some girl...and that's it's obviously about Max Green. Esp. here:

    I think this is one of Ronnie's hidden, analytical, meanings that let's out just enough to show what he's really talking about but hides enough to not say it blatantly. So it sounds like it's about a girl..but really it's not.

    Just my take on it though, could be very well wrong and it could be about a cheater. (but when has Ronnie ever been that blunt?)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
