Mmhmm, mmhmm

I can see it in your eyes and feel it in your touch
I know that you're scared, but you've never been this loved (mmhmm)
It's a long shot, baby, I know it's true
But if anyone can make it, I'm betting on me and you (mmhmm)
Just keep on moving into me
I know you're gonna see
The best is yet to come

And don't fear it now, we're going all the way
Where that sun is shining on a brand new day
It's a long way down, and it's a leap of faith
But I'm never giving up
'Cause I know we got a once in a lifetime love, oh-ooh

Everybody's looking for what we've found
Some wait their whole life and it never comes around, uh-huh
So don't hold back now
Just let go of all you've ever known
You can put your hand in mine

And don't fear it now, we're going all the way
Where that sun is shining on a brand new day
It's a long way down, and it's a leap of faith
But I'm never giving up
'Cause I know we got a once in a lifetime love

I close my eyes, and I see you standing right there
Saying, "I do," and they're throwing the rice in our hair
Yeah, the first one's born and a brother comes along, and he's got your smile
I'll be looking back on the life we had still by your side

So don't fear it now, we're going all the way
Where that sun is shining on a brand new day
It's a long way down, and it's a leap of faith
But I'm never giving up, no
And don't fear it now, I'll never let you go (oh, I'll never let you go)
When you're by my side, I know I made it home
It's a long way down, and it's a leap of faith
But I'm never giving up
'Cause I know we got a once in a lifetime love

Lifetime love
Ooh, oh
It's a lifetime love, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh, oh

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

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.
