Red and orange, or red and yellow
In which of these do you believe?
If you're not sure right now,
Please take a moment
I need your signature before you leave
When I sleep, I'm usually dreaming
But more and more, there's only one
Where every hired gun I've ever fired
Is making love to you while I look on
All fallen leaves should curse their branches
For not letting them decide where they should fall
And not letting them refuse to fall at all
Digging up the root of my confusion
If no one planted it, how does it grow?
And why are some hell bent upon there being an answer
While some are quite content to answer "I don't know"
All fallen leaves should curse their branches
For not letting them decide where they should fall
And not letting them refuse to fall at all
In which of these do you believe?
If you're not sure right now,
Please take a moment
I need your signature before you leave
When I sleep, I'm usually dreaming
But more and more, there's only one
Where every hired gun I've ever fired
Is making love to you while I look on
All fallen leaves should curse their branches
For not letting them decide where they should fall
And not letting them refuse to fall at all
Digging up the root of my confusion
If no one planted it, how does it grow?
And why are some hell bent upon there being an answer
While some are quite content to answer "I don't know"
All fallen leaves should curse their branches
For not letting them decide where they should fall
And not letting them refuse to fall at all

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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 like the way you understand the song, KennyB. However I interpret it a bit differently..
The first verse in the album version says:
"Red and orange, or red and yellow..."
I believe each pair of colors refers to a religion or a denomination.. Many religions have so much in common, and what separates them are just nuances, like the difference between red/orange and red/yellow. What almost all religions have in common is that you have to choose the right one while you live on earth (need your signature before you leave).
I think leaves refers to people.. Some are falling (losing faith) and some are not allowed to fall at all, i.e. they are indoctrinated in some faith by their parents (branches).
This song asks some of the most difficult questions.. How can you know that the way you view the world is the right one? Maybe God actually has room for more religions than just one. Even if it's hard to accept the idea, who are we to say for certain? That's why it is called faith...
@krisny I dig it. I choose to believe in a loving God. I think he loves all his children regardless of what they believe and just wants them to be good people. The particular 'world view' he suggested is just the most direct guide for getting his children to the place of goodness he hopes to get them to.
