Of all I knew, I held too few
And would you stop me, if I try to stop you?

Old songs stay 'til the end
Sad songs remind me of friends
And the way that it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself, would you care at all?

When I drive alone at night, I see the streetlights as fairgrounds
And I tried a hundred times to see the road signs as Day-Glo

Old songs, stay till the end
Sad songs, remind me of friends
And the way that it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself, would you care at all?

Old songs, stay till the end
Sad songs, remind me of friends
And the way that it is, I could leave it all
And I ask myself, would you care at all?

    this is an amazing song, truly masterful. I think it's about memories, but really, in my opinion, the lyrics come second to the jaw-dropping music in this. Like radiohead, only better.

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
