Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
You asked me not to call you on the phone
Well, there is something I've been waiting for to tell you
So I wrote it in the word of this song

Now, the glamor of the gay nightlife has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Well, you went to be somebody else's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know

I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you'd never make a wife
Now, you gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

Well, the glamour of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Well, you went to be some body else's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know

I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

I never knew there were honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you'd never make a wife
Now, you gave up the only one that ever loved you
Oh, and went back to that wild side of life

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

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.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
