Drop all the pills Doctor told us to take
They say we're dreaming
But I swear we're awake
Whenever you leave all the colours fade
So I'm here holding on cause
I'm tired of grey

Are you sticking around?
Are you sticking around?

You build a plane, and I'll build a boat
If we drop all the silver
I swear we can float
Wasn't born for the money
So I spent it quick
Bank says I'm poor, but I'm feeling rich

Are you sticking around?
Are you sticking around?

Hey there, honey
You came along and stopped me running
I'm feeling like me, back on my feet
I'm a tiger again hey there, honey
You came along and stopped me running
I'm feeling like me, back on my feet
I'm a tiger again

Tattoos on our arms so everybody can see
If they're messing with you
Then they're messing with me
They think we're crazy, crazy and blind
But if I can see you
Then the rest I don't mind

Are you sticking around?
Are you sticking around?

Wash out the glass and pop the champagne
Whenever I can, I celebrate
Because it's not everyday you get
A feeling so brave
Not everyone gets the chance to be saved

Are you sticking around?
Are you sticking around?

Hey there, honey
You came along and stopped me running
I'm feeling like me, back on my feet
I'm a tiger again hey there, honey
You came along and stopped me running
I'm feeling like me, back on my feet
I'm a tiger again

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.

“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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
