“480” is a song dedicated to 8485, an artist who has worked closely with Wells throughout her career. 8485 is commonly referred to as “eighty,” and so the title can also be read as “for eighty.”
[Verse 1]
These days it feels like I'm going nowhere
So many paths but none of them seem correct
I know my head's on right 'cause I triple checked
But I can't stop fearing where my life will go next
The one thing that's sure is that I still need you here
It all breaks apart if I can't lean on your shoulder
On days where my back hurts
This delicate blackbird
Don't know what comes after this but
[Chorus]
I see you and the world stops turning
And my heart stops hurting, take me on your journey
Let me just follow you to all Earth's corners
Let your each move guide me, take me on this journey
[Post-Chorus]
And I know it sounds so dumb, let me haunt you like a ghost
Don't know how to be myself when I'm alone
And I know it don't make sense
But I feel it in my soul
That's the only thing I trust after all
[Verse 2]
All I do is sit alone, wait for anything to change
There's a dark cloud hanging over, I can't make it go away
Lay in bed, stare at the ceiling from the morning until three
All these walls are my undoing, in the sun with you, I'm free
Spring breeze flowing through your dress on sunny afternoons
When I think I'm 'bout to lose it, I just have to think of you
Biding time until the day that I can fly you to the moon
In a crater, me and you who needs oxygen, I live and breathe you
[Chorus]
I see you and the world stops turning
And my heart stops hurting, take me on your journey
Let me just follow you to all Earth's corners
Let your each move guide me, take me on this journey
When you look back at me I feel no gravity
I float around the room like a balloon and all I want to do is
Stay close to you for ten long eons
Never felt this feeling, let me keep on feeling it
[Verse 3]
Don't wanna be all by myself
I never want that again
Your energy is flowing through me
And it helps me to stand up
I'll light the whole sky up
[Chorus]
I see you and the world stops turning
And my heart stops hurting, take me on your journey
Let me just follow you to all Earth's corners
Let your each move guide me, take me on this journey
When you look back at me I feel no gravity
I float around the room like a balloon and all I want to do is
Stay close to you for ten long eons
Never felt this feeling, let me keep on feeling it
[Post-Chorus]
And I know it sounds so dumb, let me haunt you like a ghost
Don't know how to be myself when I'm alone
And I know it don't make sense
But I feel it in my soul, that's the only thing I trust, after all
[Outro]
I see you and the world stops turning
And my heart stops hurting, take me on your journey
Let me just follow you to all Earth's corners
Let your each move guide me, take me on this journey
