Talking about our life, no matter how much I don’t like
Talk is never cheap between you and me
Look at how far we’ve come, and still we always come undone
Maybe that’s how it always has to be

I'm out here alone, talking on the phone
Tensions are rising, it’s never surprising
This is the way it goes
Maybe we’ll fall in love when I get home

Talking about our life, seems like we never get it right
But we always get an A for effort
We sweat to find what to say, communication’s the only way
If we ever hope to stay together – Communicate!

I'm out here alone, talking on the phone
Tensions are rising, it’s never surprising
This is the way it goes
Maybe we’ll fall in love when I get home

Tell me the problem, I wanna know
If there’s a solution, I'll fix it now
And if there isn’t, I'll just be there
If I don’t say something, don’t say I don’t care

Well, I go yaddaddayaddaya, and you go yaddaddayaddaya
Yaddaddayaddayadda is what we gotta do

I'm out here alone, talking on the phone
Tensions are rising, it’s never surprising
This is the way it goes
Maybe we’ll fall in love when I get home

    I don't know Milo personally but I'm fairly certain I read about this album happening during a tough patch in his personal relationship. Pretty sure this song is about his wife and their life at the time.

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.

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.

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.
