It's pretty to hear the things you say
You’re pretty to watch at all
And as I suffocate I'll serenade you with
Suffering with songs I can't explain
And who sold out more, tell me now,
And who said this place is getting restless
And this place is growing more bizarre, like your eyes
Becoming everything, everything
I see when I look at you and your machines, that will speak everything the opposite of
I hope you feel the same way

Starlight in the back of my head
Do you know I use it to wake up, do you?
Ghosts of you that hide away
I’ll use you to wake up

Raise and wave your hands too fast at the villain from Hades ends
I miss the way it was simple, I miss you being simple
So speak to me in words that I can't understand and I'll say you're beautiful
The black outlines your starting points get blurred by everything green like your eyes
Becoming everything
So look a little dizzy for me when you sing your song
I just want you to be the way I want you and no that’s not the same way


Believe me now, I know you well
And far be it from me to save you from this hell
And wanting to keep you away
Just brings you closer and closer to me
I need your starlight in the back of my head
Would you know I use it to wake up, do you?
Ghosts of you that hide away, hide away
I'll use you to wake up, to wake up

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.
