As soon as I got home
Reached out for the foam
Drank my sleep from a can
Playing track 6 and track 7 again and again

I had a crush
Nothing works out
Well I had faith
Could not have known; don't even say it

Meet me again, maybe one mile high
Meet me again and I won't flake this time
Meet me again, maybe a year from now
Meet me again, I think we both remember how

It was no architect designed this view
He could not have known about you
Mousy homes, catacombs
Detroit has a skyline too
Detroit has a skyline too

I had a crush
Nothing works out
Well I had faith
Could not have known, so don't even say it

Meet me again, maybe one mile high
Meet me again and I won't flake this time
Meet me again, maybe a year from now
Meet me again, I think we both remember how

I think we both remember how
I think we both remember
Both remember how

    I heard the acoustic version first and fell in love with it. Then I got Here's Where The Strings Come In and heard the electric version, which I like about a billion times more. The acoustic version is for when I'm sad and the album version is for when I feel like going crazy. True love.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.
