Just look at your father
And you'll see how you took after him.
Me, I'm just another
Like my brothers
Of my mother's genes.

All they ever want for you
Are the things they didn't do.
All they ever wanted, a little clue.
All they ever wanted, the truth.
All they ever wanted, a little bit of you.
All they ever wanted,
But they never did get.

The whims that we're weeping for
Our parents would be beaten for
Leave the breast
And then the rest
And then regret you ever left.

All we're ever looking for
Is another open door.

All we ever look for, another womb.
All we ever look for, our own tomb.
All we ever look for, ooh, la lune.
All we ever look for, a little bit of you, too.
All we ever look for,
But we never do score.

All we ever look for, a god.
All we ever look for, oh, a drug.
All we ever look for, a great big hug.
All we ever look for, a little bit of you.
All we ever look for, a little bit of you, too.
All we ever look for,
But we never do score.

    Do you even know why the right to own a gun is in the constitution? obviosly not. whywould i even ask? well, i'll tell ya why. it's so the people have some sort of power against the government. if people could not own guns, and one day, say, the president decided that he was gonna use his power over the military to take over the US and turn it into communism. Who could stop him? Well, certainly NOT the citizens, because they have no right to militia or right to guns. Is any of this making sense to you, or are you just that dumb.

    anyway, if guns were illegal, then who would own one? why, criminals of course!! and we all want criminals to have more power than the good citizen. so that when he comes to rob my house and has a gun, i am powerless. Who wouldn't wanna be that way???

    if our president wanted to turn our country into a communistic regime (like he even knows what those words mean) he would have no trouble if we had a gun or did not. Our U.S military if used against would not be stopped because citizens own a shotgun in their house thats nonsense. And if you read the lyrics I am not saying take all the guns away I am saying it should be a lot tougher to purchase a gun. I dont know where you live but in my state of Arizona they just passes a law that says the mentally retarded can buy guns. Come on now thats ridiculous no matter how far on the right you are you gotta agree.

    ok, yeah, i agree that that is ridiculous, but i don't see what that has to do with Goegre W. . but i'm gonna bet that the liberals passed that law because if they didn't, then somebody's feelings might have gotten hurt. :( ..NOW who's a moron? liberals would rather die than have someone get their feelings hurt or toes stepped on. i mean come on, this whole, "figt for your rights" thing is ridiculous. they're saying that nobody should be allowed to insult or offend someone else. Come on now, if no one ever got offended then progress would never be made. see what i'm sayin?

    Yea i dont agree with that woosy liberal attitude to a point. I dont care whos feelings you hurt whats needss to be done needs to be done. And I certainly do not subscribe to every liberal idea by a longshot. But Arizona is a very conservative state and the law was passed by Republicans just so you know.

    i didn't say that ALL republicans knew what they were doing. i was simply stating that it would be stupid to take guns away from ALL citizens. and even though i don't necessarily express it in my views, i am a very open-minded person. so, lemme just say that i apologize for coming off as aggressive. but i still don't agree with you that G.W.Bush is a moron. Just because he has a southern accent, does not make him an idiot.

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.
