My Room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my
Room with a view
I say
My Room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my
Room with a view
You look three stories up
See a patch of blue
Look across the airshaft
And I look into
My Room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my
Room with a view
Clap hands

His telephone rings
I take a nap
He leaves his place
Then I get back
He has a coughing fit
And I lose a shoe
He rubs his chest
And I read Camus
Has a friend
His name is Peter Deponce
Got a collect call from Peter once
Said the operator must have got
The name all screwed
Cause she just stood there saying who?

My Room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my
Room with a view
I say
My Room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my
Room with a view
You look three stories up
See a patch of blue
Look across the airshaft
And I look into
My Room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my
Room with a view
Clap

He reads the funnies first
Just like me
I don't go to church
And neither does he
I get drunk somtimes
Sing old show tunes
He talks in his sleep and says
Blah..blah..blah
He's spraying roaches
I spray my hair
He whips his dog
When his girl ain't there
Mine beats me up
And he calls the cops
Pulls the shades
Then I get popped in

My Room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my
Room with a view
I said
My Room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my
Room with a view
You look three stories up
See a patch of blue
Look across the airshaft
And look into
My Room with a view
Views a room with a view
That views my
Room with a view
Clap hands
Sold American
Clap hands
Clap hands
Sold American
Clap hands
Clap

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.

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.
Album art
Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
