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”
Come here I want to tell you
Something good
Something nice
Before we wreck again
Can't bear to see your sweet face drop like a tear
Cause I need you here
You know you're my only friend
Our love is beautiful
Our love is beautiful
Beautiful
Can you see any old magic in the world they're building
Gas stations and cars
And fading stars
Who else here thinks that's strange
You and I with a few friends will turn it around
Our paradise found
I know though it's got to change
Our love is beautiful
Our love is beautiful
Beautiful
We live our lives like we were dying
Now we won't ever let it go
Our love is beautiful
Our love is beautiful
Beautiful
In every no-one town
Don't take yourself down
Don't take yourself down
Just cause you know they would
Our love is beautiful
Our love is beautiful
Beautiful
Something good
Something nice
Before we wreck again
Can't bear to see your sweet face drop like a tear
Cause I need you here
You know you're my only friend
Our love is beautiful
Our love is beautiful
Beautiful
Can you see any old magic in the world they're building
Gas stations and cars
And fading stars
Who else here thinks that's strange
You and I with a few friends will turn it around
Our paradise found
I know though it's got to change
Our love is beautiful
Our love is beautiful
Beautiful
We live our lives like we were dying
Now we won't ever let it go
Our love is beautiful
Our love is beautiful
Beautiful
In every no-one town
Don't take yourself down
Don't take yourself down
Just cause you know they would
Our love is beautiful
Our love is beautiful
Beautiful

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.
