This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
She'll read your mind, she's smart as a whip
She'll suck you dry, but look at how much I drip
At the point of ecstasy I write a symphony
Of poetry in motion, and leaving me there to die
I tell myself let no one take her place
To confide in someone and look at how much I paid
I want you next to me, call it telepathy
We drifted into vision and look how much we see
I just want to get closer than close to you
I know that one way or the other
Any test of my faith will do
And lovers fall for lovers' friends
We make each other cry,
Living in each others lives
And trying to make the fantasy come true
But I just want to get closer than close to you
Baby, I just want to get closer than close to you
Your soul is naked, it tells you what it wants
I read your letter and look at how close I've come
There's more for us to see in this philosophy
We both end up in heaven and look at how close we'd be
I
Just want to get closer than close to you
I know that one way or the other
Any test of my faith will do
I give my heart for you to break
I give my final breath
When nothing lasts forever see
What we can turn eternity into
And I just want to get closer than close to you
At the moment you discover
What the best of my love can do
And lovers fall for lovers' friends
We make each other cry
Living in each others lives
And trying to make the fantasy come true
I just want to get closer than close to you
Baby, I just want to get closer than close to you
She'll suck you dry, but look at how much I drip
At the point of ecstasy I write a symphony
Of poetry in motion, and leaving me there to die
I tell myself let no one take her place
To confide in someone and look at how much I paid
I want you next to me, call it telepathy
We drifted into vision and look how much we see
I just want to get closer than close to you
I know that one way or the other
Any test of my faith will do
And lovers fall for lovers' friends
We make each other cry,
Living in each others lives
And trying to make the fantasy come true
But I just want to get closer than close to you
Baby, I just want to get closer than close to you
Your soul is naked, it tells you what it wants
I read your letter and look at how close I've come
There's more for us to see in this philosophy
We both end up in heaven and look at how close we'd be
I
Just want to get closer than close to you
I know that one way or the other
Any test of my faith will do
I give my heart for you to break
I give my final breath
When nothing lasts forever see
What we can turn eternity into
And I just want to get closer than close to you
At the moment you discover
What the best of my love can do
And lovers fall for lovers' friends
We make each other cry
Living in each others lives
And trying to make the fantasy come true
I just want to get closer than close to you
Baby, I just want to get closer than close to you

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”

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.
Any one have any thoughts on this song?
@denise1671 The song is about the fascination and attraction with someone who brings out the difference in you. It’s about connecting more than a physical level but a spiritual one, in and out of of this world.<br />
