This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Humor's got a place like all things. Be
Aware of the pain it can sometimes bring.
A joke to you might not be so funny, so
Take the time and think it out before you
Open up your mouth.
I can't believe the things we say. A
Cutting word can ruin days. I can't
Believe the things we say. Now I wish I
Hadn't spoken. Can't you learn to take a
Fucking joke.
We say things we don't mean but friends
Understand. Stength and humor don't
Always go hand in hand. A joke to you
Might not be so funny, so take the time
And think it out before you open up your
Mouth.
I can't believe the things we say. A
Cutting word can ruin days. I can't
Believe the things we say. Now I wish I
Hadn't spoke. Can't you learn to take a
Fucking joke.
But no ones laughing. I wish I could
Crack a smile, but I can't. I know he's
Such a fucking jerk. But jerks hurt too,
And I'm not that cool that I can laugh. I
See because it's happened to me and I
Think I was an asshole when I said what I
Said. It's just a sick sense of humor rolls
Around in my head. Cause we've had our
Fun at your expense and that's wrong.
And we know it. You said we were
Friends. For friendship's sake, let's give
It a break.
I can't believe the things we say. A
Cutting word can ruin days. I can't
Believe the things we say. Now I wish I
Hadn't spoke. Can't you learn to take a
Fucking joke!
Aware of the pain it can sometimes bring.
A joke to you might not be so funny, so
Take the time and think it out before you
Open up your mouth.
I can't believe the things we say. A
Cutting word can ruin days. I can't
Believe the things we say. Now I wish I
Hadn't spoken. Can't you learn to take a
Fucking joke.
We say things we don't mean but friends
Understand. Stength and humor don't
Always go hand in hand. A joke to you
Might not be so funny, so take the time
And think it out before you open up your
Mouth.
I can't believe the things we say. A
Cutting word can ruin days. I can't
Believe the things we say. Now I wish I
Hadn't spoke. Can't you learn to take a
Fucking joke.
But no ones laughing. I wish I could
Crack a smile, but I can't. I know he's
Such a fucking jerk. But jerks hurt too,
And I'm not that cool that I can laugh. I

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
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.
This is one of my favourite by GB, I guess it's about when you take things just that little bit too far and you argue with your friends. And the song's just saying give it a break for the sske of our friendship.
