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”
We were having a party at my house
Everyone was drinking and being loud
And she came up to me
“Hey Bo I don’t think that I should drive
Do you think it would be alright
If I stayed over?”
Well I didn’t think about it twice
Cause this girl has been my friend for life
“Of course you can stay over”
So I just kept on partying
And I didn’t think about it again
Until I went to my bedroom
And then she kissed me
She wants to spend the night with me
She is my friend how can this be
She wants to risk it all
Just to be with me
She is my best friend
This can’t be happening
She looks so beautiful
What’s a guy to do?
When your very best friend
Wants to spend the night with you
Well I woke up worried the next day
I didn’t want to lose my friend this way
I wish that I had dreamed it all
I rolled over and looked into her eyes
And then I finally realized
What she had known for years
That I am in love with her
She is my friend but now she’s so much more
Well I should have known
What she knew from the start
She waited all these years
Just to win my heart
And I’m no longer scared
Cause I can finally see
And it’s all because
She spent the night with me
Everyone was drinking and being loud
And she came up to me
“Hey Bo I don’t think that I should drive
Do you think it would be alright
If I stayed over?”
Well I didn’t think about it twice
Cause this girl has been my friend for life
“Of course you can stay over”
So I just kept on partying
And I didn’t think about it again
Until I went to my bedroom
And then she kissed me
She wants to spend the night with me
She is my friend how can this be
She wants to risk it all
Just to be with me
She is my best friend
This can’t be happening
She looks so beautiful
What’s a guy to do?
When your very best friend
Wants to spend the night with you
Well I woke up worried the next day
I didn’t want to lose my friend this way
I wish that I had dreamed it all
I rolled over and looked into her eyes
And then I finally realized
What she had known for years
That I am in love with her
She is my friend but now she’s so much more
Well I should have known
What she knew from the start
She waited all these years
Just to win my heart
And I’m no longer scared
Cause I can finally see
And it’s all because
She spent the night with me

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.

This is most definetely my favorite Brodie song. They always dedicate it to me at shows, and it also features Bo who i quite possibly one of the sweetest guys i have ever met. This song is made up, but i love it cuz it's such a sweet song that's just fun to sing.
