It's hard to believe a liar
When she's calling out your name.
The signals are calling out so well.

You called her lover
She punished you so deep.
Her voice rings out like a beautiful melody.

I'm breaking all the angles.
I'm falling down in circles.
I am gasping for sleep.

And did you see me falling?
Like a sun down in the evening
I am so dark and weak.

So she's packing up to leave for good now.
Battlelines have been drawn out love.
And when we drive, we'll take that long way home.
And I apologize for bleeding words.
We'll pack our things up like we should
And go our way back home.

It's hard to believe to a story
That's been told so well.
All these lines are sounding the same.

Cross my fingers
Hold your breath
Suburban legend, queen of that.
I leave you with this beautiful melody.

So she's packing up to leave for good now.
Battlelines have been drawn out love.
And when we drive, we'll take that long way home.
And I apologize for bleeding words.
We'll pack our things up like we should
And go our way back home.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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
“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.
