How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
As the page gets wider this song gets longer
As the burden gets lighter the man become able
There's a hole in my pocket Elijah - Elijah
A hole in my shoe - my skin hits the ground
It's all about living - giving and forgiving
Not about worry - "In a hurry?" - make things blurry
Clear above the clouds all the time
"I'm going to have to see you some more times"
Dr. Jerome - love tub - doctor
Dr. Jerome - love tub - doctor
You've created your boundaries - it's okay to explore them
Within the fences in your head
But if you stray outside you'll wind up dead
Tell me of your childhood
Did you learn to take a shit right?
Did you always wear your pants too tight?
Was it insubordination?
An Oedipus relation?
Why'd you slay your daddy?
Why'd you total the caddy?
You've gone above the clouds - you've left the okay corral and now
I'm sitting in the lower - talking you down to the runway
Dr. Jerome - love tub - doctor
Dr. Jerome - love tub - doctor
Although you feel much clearer - although you feel much lighter
Although you've pioneered those natives in those dark undiscovered
lands inside your head are waiting to pounce on you
It's the same thing with the spirit as the mental and physical -
you're a fish out of water but still close enough to shore to be
revived
When I snap my fingers you'll remove your clothes and climb into the
tub with me...
Dr. Jerome - love tub - doctor
Dr. Jerome - love tub - doctor
As the burden gets lighter the man become able
There's a hole in my pocket Elijah - Elijah
A hole in my shoe - my skin hits the ground
It's all about living - giving and forgiving
Not about worry - "In a hurry?" - make things blurry
Clear above the clouds all the time
"I'm going to have to see you some more times"
Dr. Jerome - love tub - doctor
Dr. Jerome - love tub - doctor
You've created your boundaries - it's okay to explore them
Within the fences in your head
But if you stray outside you'll wind up dead
Tell me of your childhood
Did you learn to take a shit right?
Did you always wear your pants too tight?
Was it insubordination?
An Oedipus relation?
Why'd you slay your daddy?
Why'd you total the caddy?
You've gone above the clouds - you've left the okay corral and now
I'm sitting in the lower - talking you down to the runway
Dr. Jerome - love tub - doctor
Dr. Jerome - love tub - doctor
Although you feel much clearer - although you feel much lighter
Although you've pioneered those natives in those dark undiscovered
lands inside your head are waiting to pounce on you
It's the same thing with the spirit as the mental and physical -
you're a fish out of water but still close enough to shore to be
revived
When I snap my fingers you'll remove your clothes and climb into the

Dr. Jerome - love tub - doctor

“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.
