Checked-in at the airport half an hour late
Jackie caused a scene when we reached the gate
Sorry Mr. Pilot but you'll have to wait
Cause Paul's still in the duty free

When I'm far from home
You call me on the phone
Tell me everything that's happening in England
When I'm feeling blue
You call me something new
Another stupid name that makes me smile
And in a while

Oh another coffee yeah
Oh can you sense it in the air
Feels so good
Like someone really cares

Built my world around certain things you say
I think of nothing else at the close of day
Except for maybe how I ended up this way
Another drink before you go

MTV is on another dreary song
Twenty after two and I'm at a loss
Cause the hotel bar is closed
I walk across the road
Sound of Radio Boston makes me smile
And in a while

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
