What can I do
I look for you
I lose my way again
The sheets are damp
The darkness spreads like a stain on the bed
I walk the floor
I close the door
I lock myself up again
I find a way to get along for one more day

I'll forgive you and I'll forget you

Outside a car alarm is wailing incessantly
Someone is slumped against the stairs looking up at me
The sirens call, I hit the wall
I tie myself down again
I want to fly away

I'll forgive you and I'll forget you

The silent birds observe as the traffic light changes idly
I wait for the street machine to sweep you back inside me

I'll forgive you and I'll forget you

I jerk awake from the distant isle of sleep
Dawn cracks, there's a hard light in place of your dreaming face
I thought you'd always be here
I thought I'd always have you near

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
