Dear darling
Just writing to say
Been together so long no
That I can't do this face to face
Thoughts of you
Are weighing on my mind
I know it's going to hurt you so bad
But now I gotta say goodbye
I gatta feeling deep inside of me
And it's tearing me apart
From the heart

[Chorus]
Tell me, how am I supposed to say these words to you
How am I to tell you what we've got is through
Been my best friend for so long
Can't believe that I'm doing you wrong
How am I supposed to go on each day
Seeing you and not knowing what to say
Could have been such an easy thing to do
But the problem is, I still love you

I've been trying so hard
Just want to make it okay
But I'm not strong enough to tell you
Baby how my feelings have changed
This can't be right 'cause it feels so wrong
The hardest part of loving you girl
Is knowing that I've got to let go

I gotta feeling deep inside of me
And it's tearing me apart
From the heart

[Chorus]

Maybe one day I'll find that star
That leads me to where you are
Cause baby I'm losing you
Yeah yeah
Come to a bridge that we can cross
Sailing an ocean far too far
So from the heart

Yeah

[Chorus]

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
