(words and music by: Z. Walters)

one thing I gotta say, is that it’s all alright,
even though I lie awake in the middle of the night,
some people make me angry but they also make me laugh,
thinkin’ about the good times yea they out weigh the bad,
and all my burnt bridges, ah man they make me sad,
gonna build em back up if I can, well that’s the plan,
if I can break, reciprocate,
turn lemons into lemonade and wine from sour grapes,

the shade hides us from the sun
as we hate what we’ve become
our shadows cross paths carefree
we roll on, we roll on, yeah, yeah, yeah

a whole new chapter to a whole nother story,
I’m sleepin fine knowing you chose to ignore me,
Know that I’m a loser, not completely in the dark,
Can’t change our recollection saying sorry is a start,
Soon we’ll all be gone, sometimes that brings me down,
But puts it in perspective cause every second counts,
It’s the countdown to the very last
No more fussing no more fighting gotta live it while it lasts

the shade hides us from the sun
as we hate what we’ve become
our shadows cross paths carefree
we roll on, we roll on, yeah, yeah, yeah

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.
