Sweet like a kiss, sharp like a razor blade
I find you when I'm close to the bottom
You can't appreciate the time it takes
To kick a love I always knew was kinda wrong
And as I'm putting out the flame
Somebody brings up your name

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Baby, baby, baby bring me down
I want to be right where you are
Baby, baby, baby bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Break my heart

Six am, unruffled pillow
Laughs out loud at my trusting heart
It's like I didn't see the penny
I missed the fountain by a couple yards
If you would only stay gone
Maybe I could move on

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Baby, baby, baby bring me down
I want to be right where you are
Baby, baby, baby bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart

Oh, baby, baby, baby bring me down
I want to be right where you are
Baby, baby, baby bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart

Oh, baby, baby, baby bring me down
I want to be right where you are
Baby, baby, baby bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Break my heart

Bring me down

    I was wondering if someone could tell me their oppinion of what the song means to them. I have a feeling I know but I can't really make up my mind.

    I also have a question all you guys that have seen the video (awesome vid) I was wondering if they knew why there are so many of her like in the first part of the vid when she is in the bathroom and she is looking in the mirrow and than another figure of her self shows up by the door. Same thing in the bed room scene, and when she is leaving.

    Also do you think at the end of the vid when she is whipeing off the "I'm Sorry" is that from the guy the is singing about?

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.
