This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
so this is the end of your sheltered life
but you're never ever gonna leave if you don't try
you could be like them and live out your life
but the question's gonna be in the back of your mind
just keep your mouth shut. what's the word of the day?
you're not old enough. you've nothing to say
they'll find an excuse. snap, then run a muck
so sad, there's no use. poor me, i am stuck
so if you're like me and you wanna leave
oh gimmie a break so i can break free
give more than you take. now will you agree?
i gotta get out as fast as i can. i gotta find out about becoming a man
if you look in here would you like what you see?
don't expect too much from me
i know that you tried, but didn't succeed
with time everyone must leave
but you're never ever gonna leave if you don't try
you could be like them and live out your life
but the question's gonna be in the back of your mind
just keep your mouth shut. what's the word of the day?
you're not old enough. you've nothing to say
they'll find an excuse. snap, then run a muck
so sad, there's no use. poor me, i am stuck
so if you're like me and you wanna leave
oh gimmie a break so i can break free
give more than you take. now will you agree?
i gotta get out as fast as i can. i gotta find out about becoming a man
if you look in here would you like what you see?
don't expect too much from me
i know that you tried, but didn't succeed
with time everyone must leave

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.
