Come on

You don't need to change
A thing about you, babe
I'm telling you from where I sit
You're one of a kind

Relationships I don't know why
They never work out and they make you cry
But the guy that says goodbye to you
Is out of his mind

Well, I've been down and I need your help
I've been feelin' sorry for myself
Don't hesitate to boost my confidence

Well, I've been lost and I need direction
I could use a little love protection
What do you say, honey? Come to my defense

I stand up for you if it's what you need
And I can take a punch, I don't mind to bleed
As long as afterwards you feel bad for me

And you give me all of your attention
I've got deep desire and it needs quenching
I think that's pretty plain for you to see

Well, enough about me and more about you
Because that'd be the gentlemanly thing to do
I hope you like your men sweet and polite

I thought I was done with telling you
But I ain't nearly halfway through
I've got a few more things
I'd like to say to you tonight
Get ready

You don't need to change
A thing about you, babe
I'm telling you from where I sit
You're one of a kind

Relationships I don't know why
They never work out and they make you cry
But the guy that says goodbye to you
Is out of his mind, mind

You always did kinda drive me crazy
And it pissed me off 'cause I let it phase me
But I never wanted my time with you to end

Now I'm back in town for a day or two
Well, mostly I came back just to see you
I'm leavin' now but I don't want to go

You don't need to change
A thing about you, babe
I'm telling you from where I sit
You're one of a kind

Relationships I don't know why
They never work out, they make you cry
But the guy that says goodbye to you
Is out of his mind

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

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.
Album art
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.
