Could I borrow your oxygen?
I want to breathe what you breathe
Could I borrow your eyes then?
I want to see what you see
Could I borrow your mind?
I wanna know what you conceal
Could I borrow your heart?
I wanna know what you feel

‘Cause in my dreams I see a face
Full of love and full of grace
I wake up out of the blue
Something tells me
It could be you
Something tells me
It could be you

Could I touch you now baby
Where you’ve never been touched before?
Could I surrender to you babe?
I can’t fight it no more
If I tell you my story
Would it be safe in your hands?
Could you do something for me
Just try and understand?

‘Cause in my dreams I see a face
And the kiss I almost taste
I wake up out of the blue
Something tells me
It could be you
Something tells me
It could be you

The way I feel when you are near
The way I smile when you appear
The way your voice speaks to me inside
I cannot hide

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.

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.

“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
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.
