And behold a Cowboy came into town, dirty and worn.
He had Black eyes, long hair and lines that cut deep into his frown.
He had the right hand of the devil strapped tightly to his side.
And you could tell fear abandoned this outlaw in a previous life.

Why, looking but never seeing.
Why, searching but never finding.
Why, for the kiss to bring his
Cold dead heart back to life.

I am, I am searching for you.
Waiting, I am Coming.
First Light, I am coming for you.
Last stand.
I am, I am searching for you.
Waiting, I am Coming.
First Light, I am coming for you.
Catch me if you can.

He had the story of whiskey on his breath and death in his eyes.
You never heard him say a word, but the pistol shot straight through the lies.
Looking for the new world going from dead town to town.
But his compass is cracked and north is six feet underground.

Why, looking but never seeing.
Why, searching but never finding.
Why, for the kiss to bring his
Cold dead heart back to life.

I am, I am searching for you.
Waiting, I am Coming.
First Light, I am coming for you.
Last stand.
I am, I am searching for you.
Waiting, I am Coming.
First Light, I am coming for you.
Catch me if you can.

I towed the line for you.

I am, I am searching for you.
Waiting, I am Coming.
First Light, I am coming for you.
Last stand.
I am, I am searching for you.
Waiting, I am Coming.
First Light, I am coming for you.
Catch me if you can.

If you ever cross a shadow in a wasted void.
You tell him I'm here waiting for the last cowboy.

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.

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.

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.

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.
