Oh my my, oh my my
it has come to this
Oh my my, oh my my,
it has come to this
Well it’s such a small town and what comes always goes around
And there’s crows in the tree and they’re singing for me
there’s crows in the tree and they’re singing for me

Oh my love, oh my love
it has come to this
Oh my love, oh my love
it has come to this
There’s skeletons around and they dance when the sun goes down
On roof tops where shoes just watch
On roof tops where shoes just watch

Come on and dance for me
Come on and dance for me
The crows sing so sweetly
The crows sing so sweetly

Come on and dance for me
Come on and dance for me
The crows sing so sweetly
The crows sing so sweetly

oh my luck, oh my luck
it has come to this
oh my luck, oh my luck
it has come to this
well each bird song in the dark before the dawn
it made me strong when I was far from
it made me strong when I was far from

Come on and dance for me
Come on and dance for me
The crows sung so sweetly
In the place where you used to be

Come on and dance for me
Come on and dance for me
The crows sung so sweetly
In the place where you used to be

dance for me
come and dance for me

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.

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.

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.
