Pour cold water on my head
And put me underneath the river
Put me underneath the bed
And anywhere I can deliver me from harm
Deliver me from these broken arms
This unwanted child

I loved you in the morning
I loved you still at night
But something was so different in the morning
In the half-life
Oh, in the half-light

The perfume hangs heavy in the air
It's mixed with smoke and music
Take away who covers up most of our flaws
I have my mind but can't use it
Lock the door
Deliver me from this broken night
This unwanted fire

I loved you in the morning
I loved you still at night
But something was so different in the morning
In the half-life
Oh, in the half-light

You're so young, how do you know
How to take this world and use it?
I just lie there watching it all
Before my time did I choose it
Yes you could be right
You might be right
In the half-light

You said,
All these politics like pick up sticks
You've made your mess now clean it Break for it all like you did before
You can escape if you really mean it

Oh my child
What happened to make you this way?

You see I never loved you in the morning
And there was nothing there at all by that night
But there's always something different every morning
Now I have loved
And I have light

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.
