Talking to a friend of mine this morning
He told me how his life was gonna change
All the reaching for the skies
And dreams unrealised
Had left him alone with his pain
And he just couldn't face it again
I said didn't you believe in tomorrow ?
'cause today's just a scene in the play
You might get some bad breaks and you'll make your mistakes
But you can't live your life in a day

Fifteen years old and on the outside
You got your face against the window looking in
Old enough to see, but too young to be free
In a grown up world loaded with sin

And your folks they don't get your frustration
'cause they can't recall feeling that way
So you fight, and you hate, but you'll just have to wait
'cause you can't live your life in a day

It always seems like life went so fast when it's gone
But when you're waiting for something,
It drags on and on
You can't take no comfort
When everyone says
You'll look back and laugh at today

I said you believe in tomorrow ?
'Cause today's just one scene in the play
You might get some bad breaks and you'll male your mistakes
But you can't live your life in a day

'Cause tomorrow will always be coming
It's the one thing they can't take away
And you'll lose and you'll win
And you'll do it again
But you can't live your life in a day
No you can't live your life in a day
No you can't live your life in a day

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
