When it's over
That's the time I fall in love again
And when it's over
That's the time you're in my heart again
And when you go, go, go, go
I know, it never ends, never ends

All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window
All the things that she used to bring
All the songs that she used to sing
All her favorite TV shows
Have gone out the window

I'm missing you
I never knew how much she'd loved me
I'm missing you
I never knew how much you meant to me
I need you and when you go, go, go, go
I know, it never ends, never ends

All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window
All the things that she used to bring
All the songs that she used to sing
All her favorite TV shows
Have gone out the window

I'm missing you
You never said you were pretending
I'm wishing you
You'd feel the same and just come back to me
I need you and when you go, go, go, go
I know, it never ends, never ends

When it's over
Can I still come over?
(And when you go)
And when it's over
Is it really over?

When it's over
That's the time I fall in love again

All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window
All the things that she used to bring
All the songs that she used to sing (all the things)
All her favorite TV shows
Have gone out the window (all the things)

All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way (all the things)
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window (all the things)
All the things that she used to bring
All the songs that she used to sing (all the things)
All her favorite TV shows
Have gone out the window (all the things)

All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way (all the things)
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window (all the things)
All the things that she used to bring

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.
