The way they look and move, the way they always prove
To be on your mind but not on your side
Thereâ??s no accident in a life thatâ??s spent
Watching time move on and on and on

And so youâ??ll finally see, youâ??re just a casualty
Now youâ??re coming around, yeah, youâ??re coming around and you found
That itâ??s murder
Now youâ??re slipping away more every day and they say
That itâ??s murder

Donâ??t be surprised when there is no prize
And the open doors wonâ??t close no more
And it wasnâ??t your fault that their assault
Turned mystery into history

And so youâ??ll finally see, youâ??re just a casualty
Now youâ??re coming around, yeah, youâ??re coming around and you found
That itâ??s murder
Now youâ??re slipping away more every day and they say
That itâ??s murder

Youâ??ve got the innocent, youâ??ve got the guilty
Youâ??ve got the clean and the down right filthy

And so youâ??ll finally see, youâ??re just a casualty
Now youâ??re coming around, yeah, youâ??re coming around and you found
That itâ??s murder
Now youâ??re slipping away more every day and they say
That itâ??s murder

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.
