Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (ah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I, i, i, ooh

Oh, do you wanna do it? Let's it get it on
But how you gonna act this time around
Before I take it off, down to the skin
Let's get an understanding

Girl, you didn't understand my philosophy
You did not understand
You just ran away from me

Oh, I missed you baby (all the way, around, girl)
Ooh I missed you, baby, I miss you (all the way, around, girl)
You're the best I ever had
You're so bad, baby (all the way, around, girl)
But I must like you like that
Although you won't let me control this or that
I still find you're where it's at

Ah, now I see, you're coming straight to the point
(You know you want what you see pretty girl)
You say the more you get, baby
Ah, the more you want me
Yeah, darling, you're not wasting my time
What I see baby, is so hard to find
(Baby, you been around, baby, you been around)
Although you've been all over town, baby
(Baby, you been around)
Having your affairs, I still got to accept you back
(Baby, you been around, baby, you been around)
Angel though you're promiscuous
(Baby, you been around) I don't mind a bit
(Baby, you been around) 'cause you're still the greatest
Lay even when you're miles away (baby, you been around)

Girl, if you run away again (all the way, around and back, girl)
Surely my heart would never mend
Don't tell me the love we made (all the way, around and back, girl)
Was just for old times sake (all the way, around and back, girl)
Staying up, waiting, waiting on you now (all the way, around and back, girl)
Was just so hard to take
She said that pain might never mend (all the way, around and back, girl)
So let's be sometime lovers (come back to me)
Oh, baby, that's when my poor heart broke up

So if you got a lover and you want her for your wife
You got to love her good and love her life, mmm-hmm (love you)
Well, if you've got a girl and you want her for your wife
You got to love her good and love her life (i love you)
If you've got a pretty girl and you want her for your wife
Love her good and love her life, oh love, oh-oh (ooh)
If you've got a woman and you want her for your wife
You got to love her good and love her life, baby (i love you)
Yes sir, so if you got a lover and you want her for your wife
You got to treat her good and love her all her life
Yeah, ooh-ooh

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.

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.

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.
