So go as far as you want this to go
I want you to know, that I don't care
I'm only laughing at what I'm afraid of
I've never been seen, like this before
Am I ashamed
I wonder why, am I afraid to die
I kill myself, or force myself to fly
I can't hear, anything at all
Can't you give me, just what I want
This makes it harder to live with
Seems like a burden to me now
I'm only pushing away what I wanted
The more that I need it, the more I do without
And the urge will pass
I wonder why, am I afraid to die
I kill myself, or force myself to fly
I can't hear, anything at all
Can't you give me, just what I want
I'm a brat now, give it!
I'm a brat now, give it!

So go as far as you want this to go
I want you to know, that I don't care
I'm only laughing at what I'm afraid of
I've never been seen, like this before
Am I ashamed
I wonder why, am I afraid to die
I kill myself, or force myself to fly
I can't hear, anything at all
Can't you give me, just what I want

I'm a brat now, give it!
I'm a brat now, give it!

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.

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.

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.
