I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Feel like things are goin'
And then they're gone
You're like a maze, I can't get through
Should I go left? Should I go right?
Should I let you stay for the night?
It's like a see-saw when it comes to your love
Boy, when you're up, this girl is down
And I just can't figure it out
'Cause you know that I want you
(Yeah)
And you know that I need you
(Yeah)
Is that anyway to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin' and
(Yeah)
These tears can you wipe them?
(Yeah)
Is that anyway to be?
Just have your way with me
I'm going out with guys
That I don't wanna go
To places that I been before
(They pitching the same game)
Ha, boy it's a damn shame
(How I wish it was you)
Callin' me
(I want it to be you)
Holdin' me
(Boy it needs to be you)
Kissin' me-e
'Cause it's like a see-saw
When it comes to your love
Boy, when you're up
This girl is down
And I just can't
Figure it out
'Cause you know that I want you
(Yeah)
And you know that I need you
(Yeah)
Is that anyway to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin' and

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.
