Stop joking around
For one minute
I'd rather cry right now

And play the sad notes on
The piano
Let the rest of the band go home

'Cause I'll need you
Until the morning
Please be here
Until the morning

Hold my hand
Until the morning
Brings the light of day
To our eyes

And smell the burning leaves
In autumn driveways
We'll be out on the road
'Til way past supper

And leave the lamp lit low
Beside the window
If you can mop up a waterfall

'Cause I'll need you
Until the morning
Please be here
Until the morning

Hold my hand
Until the morning
Brings the light of day
To our eyes

Just hop a train
You hate to fly
Come see the picture of my eyes

You want to laugh
I want to cry
Cry cry cry

Please be here
Until the morning
Hold my hand
Until the morning

Chase my fate
Into your promised land
Please be here
Eye-e-eye-e-eye-e-eyes

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

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

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.
