This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I cried myself to sleep again.
I'm wondering is this the end?
I cannot take all this pain I feel.
Is this for real?
You build me up
then you bring me down.
I pray to God that I'll hear the sound. Of your voice to comfort me.
When will we be?
I've waited for you
what seems like years.
With all this pain and
all these tears.
I can't wait for you my friend.
This is the end.
Just Breathe.
One more day.
One more lonley night.
I'm ok everything's alright.
Didn't you say patience would pay off?
Just one more night.
And now you see what this
means to me.
And now I know just where to go.
I can't wait for you my friend.
This is the end.
My shattered dreams and all I do.
My broken heart because of you.
I can't wait for you my friend.
This is the end.
I'm wondering is this the end?
I cannot take all this pain I feel.
Is this for real?
You build me up
then you bring me down.
I pray to God that I'll hear the sound. Of your voice to comfort me.
When will we be?
I've waited for you
what seems like years.
With all this pain and
all these tears.
I can't wait for you my friend.
This is the end.
Just Breathe.
One more day.
One more lonley night.
I'm ok everything's alright.
Didn't you say patience would pay off?
Just one more night.
And now you see what this
means to me.
And now I know just where to go.
I can't wait for you my friend.
This is the end.
My shattered dreams and all I do.
My broken heart because of you.
I can't wait for you my friend.
This is the end.

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.
