the girl at the bar, has just one heart, to give away. You can tell by the look in her eyes, and the way she don't dance. All she wants and all she needs, is in the boys that hurt and the boys that tease, the marrying kind only give it all away just once, yes, the marrying kind, only give it all away just once. See her as she smiles, so shallow with a style, not quite her own, she grabs all the games she can hold, in her listless mind, she stands on the edge like an empty glass, pushed until she falls in a shatter and a crash, she's dumb, dull, damaged and blind, she's the marrying kind, you try so hard to forgive it all, one more time, you try so hard to see what's in her eyes, and to find what's in her mind, She feels like she's turned into a Barbie doll. Pictures of her pain on her bedroom wall, caught between the truth and a sheltered life, she's caught between a wedding and a suicide knife, Far away from the troubles you find, she comes to grips, she's the marrying kind, she's the marrying kind, she's the marrying kind.

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.
