Empty streets
I follow every breath into the night
The winds are cold
The sun is frozen the world has lost its light
I carry your picture deep in me
Back to you of a 1000 seas
Back to us

Don't you lose your trust and your belief
Just trust me

[Chorus]
We have to go a 1000 Oceans wide
1000 dark years from time has died
1000 stars are passing by
We have to go a 1000 Oceans wide
1000 times against an endless tide
We'll be free to live our lives

I know somewhere
We'll find a little place for you and me
It all turned out a different way
Can't feel the pulse in our veins
So we today

Will let our heart be guided though the dark
Just trust me

[Chorus]

There's nothing and no one we'll miss
And one day we'll look back with no regrets

1000 Oceans wide
1000 Endless years have died
1000 Oceans wide
1000 Stars are passing by
Passing by
Please don't drift away from me
Please don't drift away from me

[Chorus]

Please don't drift away from me
Please don't drift away from me
1000 Oceans wide.

    Song Meaning

    This song is about a long distance relationship where both have to keep their faith that one day they will be together again. The "please don't drift away from me" is more like a plead to not let the relationship fall apart because of the distance between them. Beautiful song.

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.

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
