[Chorus:]
Echo,
Echo-ooo
We come and we go
No, I don't want to be just another
Echo
Echo-ooo

Everywhere I go
Something that I really need
Everyone I know
Someone that i want to be.

Even though,
I don't really know
I better pick it up
Before I let it slip away
I better stick it out
Before I take another day.

Into now
Every word I say, fades out.

[Chorus]

Can only open up your eyes
When the clouds break
Can only feel alive
Even though the world shakes.

Every night
You're in my quiet, sateen, light.
Can I hold you close
To a rather full moon kiss.

Everything I know
I don't even know who it is

It all falls through
I'm here and I hear you.

[Chorus]

Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
'Cause I need to, just to reach you
Can you hear me?
Coming clearly?
Am I hollow?
Just an echo?

[Chorus]

(Hello?)Echo
Echo-ooo
(Do you hear me?) We come and we go
(Hello?) No, I don't want to be just another
(Do you hear me?)Echo
Echo-ooo

It's just another day
And every single word I say, fades out.

    i thin this song is about wanting to make a differenceor do something that will be remembered by all those people he's always been in the shadow of. it seems he's sayin he's like, the tag-along friend, the one who isn't really necessary, and he wants to become center stage, r at least become his own person, not just a shadow of others.

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.
