So cash in all your chips tonight baby, cuz were going out of style.
We could leave this city, if only for a while.
Well take this feeling to our graves
For every heart that we betrayed.
No one can know about this.
The only place ill ever call home, is my deathbed.

I know were so wrong, but it feels so right.
And its not a party, if it happens every night.
I'm running on empty, your running out of luck.
So lets ditch this city, before we sober up

    "We'll take this feeling to our graves, for every heart we betrayed. No one can know about this" This guy had a 'thing' with a girl while he was in a relationship but he knew it was wrong so he's like 'woah calm down this can't get out'

    "I know we're so wrong, but it feels so right" He knows this 'thing' that him and the 2nd girl is wrong even though it feels right

    "And it's not a party if it happens every night" They happen to do things like have sex every night but he can't use the excuse of 'oh i was at a party, it was a one time thing' because it's happening every night

    just some of my interpretation

    No comments? my god. i love this one. The "so cash in all your chips" part is something to do with gambling most likely. And he doesn't want anyone to know about something him and a friend of his did. And yeah anyway. I LOVE BMTH.

    Maybe he's talking about their wild partying/gambling/chaotic relationship and wanting to leave it for a while?

    ''So cash in all your chips tonight baby'' - gambling reference.

    ''The only place I'll call home is my death bed,''

    • the only time he'll go home or stop all the partying is when he dies from it basically.

    ''And it's not a party if it happens every night, I'm running on empty, you're running out of luck'' - tired of it, getting all the same. boring?

    I don't know. Just a basic guess.

    I love this song.

    It seems like it would have to do with cheating on someone, or something.

    Mmmm this is my favorite song by them. BMTH is just fucking amazing. I think this song is about the lifestyle of a couple. They "gamble" with eachother's feelings so to say and it seems like it'll never end. Maybe "So let's ditch this city before we sober up" means like they should just leave all of their feelings before things become clear and they end up getting hurt. I dunno though. Fuck.

    the song is about regret

    if you recall back to the first album, This is What the Edge of Your Seat was Made For, they had a song titled Traitors Never Play Hangman, which was Oli's dark confession of how he was miserable with the fact that he had cheated on the girl he was with.

    This i basicvally the same thing.

    "what happens in vegas stays in vegas" its a saying

    so all the gambling and vegas refrences has nothing to do with literal vegas.

    its just the context in which it fits.

    what he did, no one needs to know, aside from the people/persons there.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran

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.
