I know this will not remain forever
However it's beautiful
Your eyes, hands, and your warm smile
They're my treasure
It's hard to forget
I wish there was a solution
Don't spend your time in confusion
I'll turn back now and spread

My broken wings
Still strong enough to cross the ocean width
My broken wings
How far should I go drifting in the wind?
Higher and higher in the light
My broken wings
Still strong enough to cross the ocean width
My broken wings
How far should I go drifting in the wind?
Across the sky just keep on flying

sora kara ochite kuru no wa (Falling in the sky)
are wa ame de wa nakute (That isn't rain)

Did I ever chain you down to my heart
Cause I was afraid of you?
No, I couldn't hold any longer
Love is not a toy
Let go of me now
The time we spent is perpetual
Our future is not real
So I'll leap into the air

My broken wings
Still strong enough to cross the ocean width
My broken wings
How far should I go drifting in the wind?
Higher and higher in the light
My broken wings
Still strong enough to cross the ocean width
My broken wings
How far should I go drifting in the wind?
Across the sky just keep on flying

    Far as I can tell, it's pretty straight forward. It seems to be about letting go of someone ( a love most likely) and being upset, but able to move on.

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.
