In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Breathing in the same sequence
While trying to make sense of your situation
What we got ourselves in, two more weeks of one way conversation
She says she's losing interest
I swear that we are best friends till the end
This could be the plans for revenge
But these words lead to dead ends
So close your eyes and kiss me like it's our last time
These lips need medication, these days are dripping poison girl
Days to turn to nights I wish on the stars in the sky
Be careful of the brightest, beauty is on the inside
I wish I could but I know I can't take it back, it's serious
Just like heart-attacks
My personality, avoid the scenery, I hate playing games with the industry
That fuels these dreams, and turns them down
When my heart breaks it makes a sound
This could be the plans for revenge
But these words lead to dead ends
So close your eyes and kiss me like it's our last time
These lips need medication, these days are dripping poison girl
Days to turn to nights I wish on the stars in the sky
Be careful of the brightest, beauty is on the inside
So close your eyes and kiss me like it's our last time
These lips need medication, these days are dripping poison girl
Days to turn to nights I wish on the stars in the sky
Beauty is on the inside
(Beauty's on the inside)
While trying to make sense of your situation
What we got ourselves in, two more weeks of one way conversation
She says she's losing interest
I swear that we are best friends till the end
This could be the plans for revenge
But these words lead to dead ends
So close your eyes and kiss me like it's our last time
These lips need medication, these days are dripping poison girl
Days to turn to nights I wish on the stars in the sky
Be careful of the brightest, beauty is on the inside
I wish I could but I know I can't take it back, it's serious
Just like heart-attacks
My personality, avoid the scenery, I hate playing games with the industry
That fuels these dreams, and turns them down
When my heart breaks it makes a sound
This could be the plans for revenge
But these words lead to dead ends
So close your eyes and kiss me like it's our last time
These lips need medication, these days are dripping poison girl
Days to turn to nights I wish on the stars in the sky
Be careful of the brightest, beauty is on the inside
So close your eyes and kiss me like it's our last time
These lips need medication, these days are dripping poison girl
Days to turn to nights I wish on the stars in the sky
Beauty is on the inside
(Beauty's on the inside)

“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.
