This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
In the dream that awakened me
You had come and taken me
To a sea of stars, a cat stood in the flowers
Two ears above.
And the ground that was under me
Was holding me so wonderfully
On a bed of leaves, you were there with me
We were free.
Everything we saw
Was beautiful and strong
And I knew we belonged
Then the birds came and carried us
To the sky and buried us
On a bed of stars, where I was always yours
And you were mine.
And in the long, black eternity
I loved you so perfectly
On the words of clouds, like a bird sings to his flowers
And I was heard
Everything I saw
Was everything I want
And this world had just begun
To live!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
I can't get up, from this.
Everyone was forgiving
Made hope for, made living
Made women, tonight
So captain please consider me
Let the boats deliver me
When I close my eyes...drive, captain, drive!
It's time.
For everything to be perfect
For everything to stop hurting
Tonight.
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up...
You had come and taken me
To a sea of stars, a cat stood in the flowers
Two ears above.
And the ground that was under me
Was holding me so wonderfully
On a bed of leaves, you were there with me
We were free.
Everything we saw
Was beautiful and strong
And I knew we belonged
Then the birds came and carried us
To the sky and buried us
On a bed of stars, where I was always yours
And you were mine.
And in the long, black eternity
I loved you so perfectly
On the words of clouds, like a bird sings to his flowers
And I was heard
Everything I saw
Was everything I want
And this world had just begun
To live!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
I can't get up, from this.
Everyone was forgiving
Made hope for, made living
Made women, tonight
So captain please consider me
Let the boats deliver me
When I close my eyes...drive, captain, drive!
It's time.
For everything to be perfect
For everything to stop hurting
Tonight.
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up!
Don't wake me up...

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Head > Heels

“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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I think he lost her. And now he has this dream and doesn't want to wake up 'cause reality isn't this nice. I believe it's like this although I read that he said this song is really about his cat that died. He must have been joking... Great song anyway.
