Jean take me down just take me to your place
And do what you do to me
Take me to the place you wanna go
Now that you've been there

I've seen it, I've been it, I mean it
I don't know where you're going

Long lost in your mind it's up to you
Do what you do to you
You don't know what's right or in your mind
But now it's time

To find a reason to be here
And work out the reasons 'fore you die

Pick yourself up now and walk the road
You don't know where you're supposed to go
But now it's time to take a look
I know you don't know if you

Mean it, or seen it, or feel it
The reasons in your mind, that's in your mind

Pick yourself up off the dirty floor
You've got to be there, don't you know?
Now is your time to open up
And then you seen me down

I'll be there, I'll see ya
And now you got to open up your eyes, open your eyes
Now you got a reason to be here
And see that reason 'fore you die

Jean take me down just take me to your place
And do what you do to me
Take me to the place you wanna go
Now that you've been there

I've seen it, I've been it, I mean it
I don't know where you're going

Pick yourself up now and walk the road
You don't know where you're supposed to go
But now it's time you take a look
I know you don't know if you

Mean it, or seen it, or feel it
The reasons in your mind, what's in your mind?

Pick yourself up off the dirty floor
You've got to be there, don't you know?
Now is your time to open up
And yes, you seen me down

I been there, I seen ya
And now you gotta open up your eyes, open your eyes
Now you got a reason to be here
And see that the reason 'fore you die, before you die

Now you got a reason to be here
And see it before you even die
Before you die, before you die
Before you die

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.

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
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.
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.
Album art
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.
