What we gonna do about us
What we gonna do about us
What we gonna do about us
What, what, what, what

All of this time
You were standing in front of my face
It doesn't matter because I knew what it was
You around me made me feel that way
We used to be good friends
But some good things come to an end
Maybe that's when true love can begin
And go all the way, yea oh yeah yea yeah

Baby never thought the day would come (what, what)
Tired of being too young (too young)
Where's this feeling coming from (yeah)
Like the way I'm feeling now (feeling now, now)
I never thought that this would be (what)
It's been bothering me (oh yeah)
Baby tell me can we be, together forever...

Chorus:
Tell me what we gonna do about us
(What we gonna do about)
Let me know if this is real love (real love)
Let me know if I've found the one
Are you standing right here baby (right here baby)
Tell me what we gonna do about us
(What we gonna do about)
Let me know if this is real love (oh yeah)
Let me know if I've found the one
Are you standing right here baby

What we gonna do
Now you know how I feel about you
Think is time you made up your mind
Cause I've already made up mine
Oh it won't be long
Cause right now you can do me no wrong
Cause I like what I see, I know what I like
You tell me right now
Baby what's it gonna be, oh yeah...

Baby never thought the day would come
(Never thought the day would come)
Tired of being too young (tired of being too young)
Where's this feeling coming from (yeah)
Like the way I'm feeling now
I never thought that this would be
(Never thought that this would be)
It's been bothering me (oh yea yeah)
Baby tell me can we be (c‘mon) together forever...

Chorus:
Tell me what we gonna do about us
(Oh what we gonna do about us)
Let me know if this is real love
(Let me know if this is real love)
Let me know if I've found the one (found the one)
Are you standing right here baby (right here)
Tell me what we gonna do about us
(What we gonna do)
Let me know if this is real love (real love)
Let me know if I've found the one
Are you standing right here baby
(Are you standing here, here, here, here...)

Bridge:
When I first laid eyes on you (laid eyes on you)
All my dreams had just come true (had just come true)
And I never imagined what love could really be about
Who, ever knew you'd be the one (you'd be the one)
Where did all of these feelings come from (where they come from)
And I think we have a lot of things to talk about (oh whoa...)

Chorus:
Tell me what we gonna do about us
(Oh what we gonna do about us)
Let me know if this is real love (know this is real love)
Let me know if I've found the one
Are you standing right here baby (right here baby)
Tell me what we gonna do about us
(What we gonna do about us)
Let me know if this is real love (c'mon)
Let me know if I've found the one (Dream)
Are you standing right here baby

Tell me what we gonna do about us
(What you gonna do)
Let me know if this is real love
(Let me know if this is real love)
Let me know if I've found the one
Are you standing right here baby (right here baby)
Tell me what we gonna do about us (do about us)
Let me know if this is real love
(Let me know if this is real love)
Let me know if I've found the one...

    This is seriously my favorite song. Or by far one of them. I love the beat and the bass. The guitars are raw too. The lyrics are clean, and you can relate to them. The lyrics and the song in general tell about the feeling you get when you feel you can be comfortable around someone. You feel that they are the one for you, and you want to know and HEAR from them how they feel and if THEY FEEL THE SAME as you do. If the feeling is mutual, you are ready to take the relationship to the next level. I LOVE THE WRITERS, THE MUSICIANS, THE PRODUCERS, AND OF COURSE THE SINGER---DREAM---OF THIS SONG. I LOVE THIS SONG!

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.
