[Verse 1]
I don't stand a chance
Against the glow of answers
Lighting up your face across the pillow landscape
The list of things
I feel is crazy
News to me that I would need a second wake up

[Pre-Chorus]
It's all been happening
Like they said it might
Am I weak if I want to fight?
[Chorus]
What makes our love so hard to be?
Is it you? Or is that you with me?
For just the possibility
I'd have given anything
We play along, we sell
But only so much we can tell ourselves
Is it you? Or is it that you with me?
You with me
You with me

[Verse 2]
Pull like magnets
Cloud of static
The air between is punishing, but nothing happens

[Pre-Chorus]
Scared to say it
Even to yourself
Am I weak if I want to help?

[Chorus]
What makes our love so hard to be?
Is it you? Or is that you with me?
For just the possibility
I'd have given anything
We play along, we sell
But only so much we can tell ourselves
Is it you? Or is it that you with me?
You with me
You with me

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Wrong I'm certain
And it's sad to think of
Expecting different outcomes with the better question

[Pre-Chorus]
Fear and comfort
Are both one the same
Am I weak if I want to wait?

[Chorus]
What makes our love so hard to be?
Is it you? Or is that you with me?
For just the possibility
I'd have given anything
We play along, we sell
But only so much we can tell ourselves
Is it you? Or is it that you with me?
You with me
You with me

We play along, we sell
But only so much we can tell ourselves
Is it you? Or is it that you with me?
You with me
You with me

Is it you? Or is it that you with me?
You with me
You with me

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
