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”
Stars break the black and the white breaks the blue as they abuse the rocks.
The rocks scream as they drown. swalled whole by the tide.
The rocks sat with us as our hands met
surrounded by screams that memory stays
Why did you leave
Why did you go
Was it the rocks in the sand
or my heart in your hand
Smoke fills my head like clouds fill the sky
The noise alerts me to that fire inside
the fire in my chest where my heart used to beat
Did you hurt me so much because of the sand
Why didnt you call
Why didnt we talk
Was it my fire inside
or like the tide did your love for me subside
My tears fall through hands to the white and blue as you abuse my trust.
The rocks fall through the sky towards the sand
The sea boils as we sit on the rocks, my fire fuels the waves
Tou laugh at me as i look back. i was just an escape
Dont ever come back
Dont ever return
Dtay where you drove that knife
Never again step into my life
The rocks scream as they drown. swalled whole by the tide.
The rocks sat with us as our hands met
surrounded by screams that memory stays
Why did you leave
Why did you go
Was it the rocks in the sand
or my heart in your hand
Smoke fills my head like clouds fill the sky
The noise alerts me to that fire inside
the fire in my chest where my heart used to beat
Did you hurt me so much because of the sand
Why didnt you call
Why didnt we talk
Was it my fire inside
or like the tide did your love for me subside
My tears fall through hands to the white and blue as you abuse my trust.
The rocks fall through the sky towards the sand
The sea boils as we sit on the rocks, my fire fuels the waves
Tou laugh at me as i look back. i was just an escape
Dont ever come back
Dont ever return
Dtay where you drove that knife
Never again step into my life

“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.
