I'm a jealous man
Oh, I can't relate
She's a doe-eyed girl
Oh, with no complaints

But there's another side that I'm trying to crack
If you open your mind and let me take a stab
At the secrets that you know
Sweet troubled soul

She's a summer tramp
Oh, all dressed in black
A fluorescent tan
Oh, sweet heart attack

Oh, but there's another side that I'm trying to crack,
If you open your mind and let me take a stab
At the secrets that you know
Sweet troubled soul

I want to suffer in your arms
And when you're naked in the dark,
I want to see your face in the reflection of my bedroom stereo
We'll take it slow
Sweet troubled soul

But there's another side that I'm trying to crack,
If you open your mind and let me take a stab
At the secrets that you know
Just let it go!
I want to suffer in your arms
And when you're naked in the dark
I want to see your face in the reflection of my bedroom stereo
We'll take it slow, sweet troubled soul

Oh, sweet troubled soul

    Wow... i can't stop listening to this song. It's so catchy, and I just love the beat. The lyrics are good too.

    I can't seem to figure out the meaning, but maybe a girl who just like the guy for superficial reasons, and he wants to know her on a more emotional and true-to-heart level.

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.
