Here is the water
The one that rushes
From our hearts into the sea
Endlessly hoping to be
Here is the water
The one that rushes from our
Minds into the street
Endlessly hoping to meet

they said we could walk on water
They said we should knock on wood
We did none of these things and they said we could sing
So we sang about falling in love
They said that we were getting smarter
They said that we were something new
We were none of these things and they said we could sing
So we sang about twenty and two
We done all the wrong things
And all we done good

they said we were the new beginning
They said we were a brand new start
We were none of these thing and they said we could sing
So we sang about the state of the art
They said we were the second coming
They said we were a different breed
We were none of these things and they said we could sing
So we sang about the birds and the bees
Bunch of do nothing that were down on your knees

can you walk on water
But can you walk on - W A T E are (oh no)
Can you walk on - W A T E are
Oh can you walk on water

they said we could walk on water
They said we should knock on wood
We did none of these things and they said we could sing
So we sang about falling in love
They say that we say we say something
They say that we say something new
We say some of these things and they say we can sing
So we sang about a hundred and two
But if nobody listens well nothing comes true
When you walk on water
When you walk on - W A T E are (oh no)
Can you walk on - W A T E are
Oh can you walk on water
Can you walk on - W A T E are (oh no)
Can you walk on - W A T E are
Oh can you walk on water
We never walked on - W A T E are
So tell me something smarter W A T E are

matadors monkeys, a million balloons
As we walk through the sea to the sand
Knowing full well that we're perfectly tuned
As we skip through our hearts hand in hand

well jenny the older
Whose music we heard
Will we all meet again at the end of the world

no sense in fooling
We're covered in dreams
Having too much fun flying to land
Floating waste high in tendrils of green
We're so small but we feel oh so grand

well jenny the older
Whose music we heard
Will we all meet again at the end of the world

end of the world

well jenny the older
Whose music we heard
Will we all meet again at the end of the world

the end of the world
On Tuesday
The end of the world
Pop goes the world
The end of the world
Pop goes the world

on Tuesday
The end of the world
The real world
Pop goes the world
On Tuesday

    They are muddled. "End (of the World)" Starts with Matadors, Monkeys... I went ahead and posted it as a separate song... with some lyric fixes. It's funny how most sites that do a track listing of the album has it as two separate tracks, but most lyrics have this version of "Walk on Water".... Even those that actually have "The End" with correct lyrics, have this version muddled with "walk on water".

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.
