I can feel a storm brewing over nothing
We were having fun
There's no harm done there
You need attention
I can see you're sulking
It's about time that you learn to share

Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
I want to play
You're in the way of our sunshine
Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
Just let it go
And I will throw you a lifeline

I don't what happened
To those resolutions
We think we found the truth at last
When it escapes
Inside the mirror is a false impression
I can feel so swollen
When I'm in good shape

Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
I want to play
You're in the way of our sunshine
Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
Just let it go
And I will throw you a lifeline

Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
I want to play
You're in the way of our sunshine
Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
Just let it go
And I will throw you a lifeline

Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
I want to play
You're in the way of our sunshine
Lighten up
It's gonna brighten up
Just let it go
And I will throw you a lifeline

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
