This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I stand here closed and open
Praying for the summer rains
Reaching in to pull back the curtains
Ruling in this desolate land
I will let me go
My walls melt away
You have no boundaries
You cross my borders
You have no boundaries
You crash my borders
I lie here clothed and naked
Dam bursts to cool ocean waves
Black water cleans the highway
Resting in the washing away
I will let me go
My walls melt away
You have no boundaries
You cross my borders
You have no boundaries
You crash my borders
You are more than all that is outside of me
You are more than that which is inside of me
You have no boundaries
I have no borders from you
You have no boundaries
I have no borders
Praying for the summer rains
Reaching in to pull back the curtains
Ruling in this desolate land
I will let me go
My walls melt away
You have no boundaries
You cross my borders
You have no boundaries
You crash my borders
I lie here clothed and naked
Dam bursts to cool ocean waves
Black water cleans the highway
Resting in the washing away
I will let me go
My walls melt away
You have no boundaries
You cross my borders
You have no boundaries
You crash my borders
You are more than all that is outside of me
You are more than that which is inside of me
You have no boundaries
I have no borders from you
You have no boundaries
I have no borders

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
