Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I had a bad day today,
I couldn't even park my car.
And I walk to 67th by myself
And never seem to get to talk to anybody
I want to drink this way,
But I'll just get pissed at the bar.
And I'll end up drinking whiskey by myself
Getting used to not drinking with anybody
May a broken heart deserve
???
And never say a thing about
Wasting all your time.
When you just can't play the right four chords
We've been nowhere,
We've done nothing,
Wasting all my time.
We've been nowhere,
We've done nothing,
Wasting all my time.
And you can ??? and have it all
From Brooklyn to Niagara Falls
Messages and mini malls
Expensive drinks and social calls yeah
I got my back stabbed today,
Inside a freshly opened wound.
I keep forgetting history repeats itself,
But you should know better
than to ??? like anybody.
???
And never say a thing about
filling up our time.
When you just can't play the right four chords.
We've been nowhere,
We've done nothing,
Wasting all my time.
We've been nowhere,
We've done nothing,
Wasting all my time.
???
Go to recover her: my soul.
I will recover her: my soul.
I will recover,
and you should recover her:
your soul.
Or else you don't know where
You'll do nothing,
You'll just sit there wasting time in
Business meetings, online shopping,
And you will die fucking boring.
We've been nowhere,
We've done nothing,
Wasting all my time.
We've been nowhere,
We've done nothing,
Wasting all my time.
And you can ??? and have it all
From Brooklyn to Niagara Falls
???
??? business calls yeah
I couldn't even park my car.
And I walk to 67th by myself
And never seem to get to talk to anybody
I want to drink this way,
But I'll just get pissed at the bar.
And I'll end up drinking whiskey by myself
Getting used to not drinking with anybody
May a broken heart deserve
???
And never say a thing about
Wasting all your time.
When you just can't play the right four chords
We've been nowhere,
We've done nothing,
Wasting all my time.
We've been nowhere,
We've done nothing,
Wasting all my time.
And you can ??? and have it all
From Brooklyn to Niagara Falls
Messages and mini malls

I got my back stabbed today,
Inside a freshly opened wound.
I keep forgetting history repeats itself,
But you should know better

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.
I had a bad day today. I couldn't even park my car. And I'm walking 67th by myself It never did me good to talk to anybody.
I wanna drink this away but I'll just get ditched at the bar and I'll end up drinking whiskey by myself. I'm getting used to not drinking wtih anybody.
They say a broken heart's reserved for puppy love and bad divorces. They never say a thing about feeling it all the time when you just can't start your life on time.
We've been nowhere. We've done nothing. Wasted all my time. And you can goddamn have it all from Brooklyn to Niagra Falls, text messages in minimalls, expensive drinks and social calls.
I got my back stabbed today inside a freshly opened wound. I keep forgetting history repeats itself. Should know better than to trust, like, anybody.
I get the bad brains so much these days that I don't even know what for anymore. So I sit in my apartment by myself trying to work up the courage to go do something.
This goes for anyone who's confused with what I'm doing with my life. I'm going to recover my soul. You should recover your soul.
Or else you'll go nowhere You'll do nothing. You'll just sit there wasting time in business meetings, online shopping, and you will die fucking boring.
