Pulling this watch as faces go
Pulling in a word and done it slow
This other time

I see your face is silent
Go, we go away and
What have you done?
Takes a feeling inside us all

Continue out
With just one push of my arm
But you're so close now
And you're so close now

All I have to do is three short blows
All that still is pressed inside
The full when the wall
And you don't even know

All I have to do is kill her
All I have to do is kill her
All I have to do is kill her

And all the other faces here with me
The others dressed in summer's things
Finding one way to be wonderful
Finding one way to the other souls
And every time it's you
It's like the blood on the stairs is sent away
And every time we see it's all said before you

Finding the ways to kill you
You used to say this fear of drowning
Fear no death by water
Father walks in at the foot of the bed
Six of you want to see you safe
Just one time you'll meet this man
All you've got to do is kill her
And all you've got to do is kill her

Trickle the sands against and pull the animals
Just out of the womb
Seeing the cow dead before he was born
The man he, he loved
The solid pieces fell on the ground
He couldn't kill another life
He couldn't kill another life
He couldn't kill another life

It's all been putting up
It could have been some friends
Pulling strings so I could meet you
All I want to do is hit you

She says
"Look over my shoulder!
See the sky!"
And the sky goes black!
And the sky goes black!
I just told you to be there!
I just told you to be there!
Angels come to be there!
Angels come to be there!

Everytime I looked up the stairs
I used to see her die
She would move so slow
Anyone could have been but she was a cat
Anyone could have been she was a cat
Pulling away as I used to fight
Let's just make some noise
That ugly or pretty
The face stays the same

Her face stays the same
Her face stays the same
The ugly or pretty
Her face stays the same
Stays the same, stays the same

And looking on the final walls
And looking on the final walls
Did you now find this malice out
The angels fall
Let's make some noise
Let's make some noise
Let's make some noise
Let's make some noise
Let's make some noise
Let's make some noise
Let's make some noise

Looking for help, help they used to say
Help me be your mother for just one day
Let's fall in churches far outside

They used to love
They used to love
They used to
They used to
Love

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Page

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.
