This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I remember a year ago I was standing in the crowd
waiting for my chance to break through, my chance to live again.
Now it seems I've found some friends who finally understand what it takes
to make this dream come true, we'll be here till the end.
Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
come dance with me and don't you fake it.
Shake it, break it get off your feet,
get close to me and don't you fake it.
Shout and scream my friends, connect with me and we'll pretend
this night will never end (wo oh) this night will never end.
Just let go you'll see together we'll do anything
this night will never end wo oh this night will never end.
Oh, wish I could thank you all for what you have done
and all of the things that you have shared with me.
Oh, wish I could take you all too where I must go wish I could take you all
I'll take you with my heart.
"Dance, get on the floor, shake, get on the floor, break, get on the floor"
(repeat)
Shake it, break it, get off your feet
come dance with me and don't you fake it
Shake it, break it get off your feet
get close to me and don't you fake it.
I'm reaching out here to show you what we've been through
I think there's something we can share, that's completely new
or maybe I'm just insane
Shake it break it get off your feet
waiting for my chance to break through, my chance to live again.
Now it seems I've found some friends who finally understand what it takes
to make this dream come true, we'll be here till the end.
Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
come dance with me and don't you fake it.
Shake it, break it get off your feet,
get close to me and don't you fake it.
Shout and scream my friends, connect with me and we'll pretend
this night will never end (wo oh) this night will never end.
Just let go you'll see together we'll do anything
this night will never end wo oh this night will never end.
Oh, wish I could thank you all for what you have done
and all of the things that you have shared with me.
Oh, wish I could take you all too where I must go wish I could take you all
I'll take you with my heart.
"Dance, get on the floor, shake, get on the floor, break, get on the floor"
(repeat)
Shake it, break it, get off your feet
come dance with me and don't you fake it
Shake it, break it get off your feet
get close to me and don't you fake it.
I'm reaching out here to show you what we've been through
I think there's something we can share, that's completely new
or maybe I'm just insane
Shake it break it get off your feet

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
i love this song! This song reminds me of my really close friends because they totally accept me for who I am and they're with me no matter what. I have some "friends" who think they're better than everyone else and it pisses me off so much and its so hard to have fun with them because they're always gossipping and being stuck up. but my real friends we have fun doing nothing and they're amazing and next year we're all going to different schools and one of my friends moved to the u.s. so its sad. but whenever we hang out we go to concerts and this song sounds to me it is about a concert so yeah its perfect. I LOVE THE SCREAMING IN THE CHORUS
