This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We signed both our names and the cards were done, by acting so old we felt so young, and you licked the stamps and I lit the tree, you faked a nap and watched me open your presents without your permission, the smile on your face, I knew I was forgiven, I said I'm sorry and you said I love you too
Thank you, for this year, a collage full of pictures you made me, in my heart, and my dreams, thanks for the christmas you've given to me
That was the last year you came home, I'll decorate change on a payphone, cause you took my stocking and I burned our tree, you fell in love and gave me nothing but reasons to hate winter seasons, breaking those promises I've left for leaving, I'll send a card that says heres goodbye to you
I'll forget you next year, I'm torching those pictures you gave me, and my heart, so broke it bleeds, thanks for the christmas you murdered for me
Here lies our year, the headstone that you kindly made me, and your eyes, they'll never see, the season that you made and murdered for me
Thank you, for this year, a collage full of pictures you made me, in my heart, and my dreams, thanks for the christmas you've given to me
That was the last year you came home, I'll decorate change on a payphone, cause you took my stocking and I burned our tree, you fell in love and gave me nothing but reasons to hate winter seasons, breaking those promises I've left for leaving, I'll send a card that says heres goodbye to you
I'll forget you next year, I'm torching those pictures you gave me, and my heart, so broke it bleeds, thanks for the christmas you murdered for me
Here lies our year, the headstone that you kindly made me, and your eyes, they'll never see, the season that you made and murdered for me

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”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
This is a great song! One of my personal favorites by this band. I haven't figured out who the "you" refers to in the song, it could either be one of his parents, girlfriend, or best friend, but despite all of that heres my point of view. I think it is about a kid with a parent he usually spends his christmas with him/her. They sign cards, open presents, make gifts for each other, ect., but you can tell the relationship is strong. But one year, his parent did not come home for christmas and abandoned him/her because they found a new lover. This feels like betrayal to the kid and he stresses how much they hurts his/her feelings, "I'll forget you next year, I'm torching those pictures you gave me, and my heart, so broke it bleeds, thanks for the christmas you murdered for me". Well thats just my opinnion, thanks for listening.
