My days are shaded gray
And my nights are shaded blue
My face is lined with worry
And my mind is split in two
Feel just like a man
Who's last real hope is gone
Morality and religion
Didn't teach me right from wrong
And I need a little something
Oh, just to mellow my days
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
In lifes one act play
The world is changing fast
Ain't got time to think twice
Wanna keep on the ball
Then you got to pay the price
You can't judge the future
By looking at the past
And there ain't nobody out there
Who you can stop and ask
Oh, I need a little something
Just to mellow my days
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
In lifes one act play
Some people think, oh yes they do
They found the way
But they're a dime a dozen
You can see them everyday
Some people are happy
In their delusions
Oh, I wish sometimes
I could share, I could share their illusions
But nobody really knows
What this life is all about
Those who think they do
Are the ones who should have doubts
Sometimes I wonder
What they are going to do
When their cozy dreams are shattered
And reality shows through
Oh, I need a little something
Just to mellow my days
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
In lifes one act play
And I need a little something
Just to mellow my days
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
In lifes one act play
In lifes one act play
In lifes one act play
In lifes one act play
My days are shaded gray
And my nights are shaded blue
My face is lined with worry
And my mind is split in two
Feel just like a man
Who's last real hope is gone
Morality and religion
Didn't teach me right from wrong
And I need a little something
Oh, just to mellow my days
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
In lifes one act play
The world is changing fast
Ain't got time to think twice
Wanna keep on the ball
Then you got to pay the price
You can't judge the future
By looking at the past
And there ain't nobody out there
Who you can stop and ask
Oh, I need a little something
Just to mellow my days
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
In lifes one act play
Some people think, oh yes they do
They found the way
But they're a dime a dozen
You can see them everyday
Some people are happy
In their delusions
Oh, I wish sometimes
I could share, I could share their illusions
But nobody really knows
What this life is all about
Those who think they do
Are the ones who should have doubts
Sometimes I wonder
What they are going to do
When their cozy dreams are shattered
And reality shows through
Oh, I need a little something
Just to mellow my days
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
In lifes one act play
And I need a little something
Just to mellow my days
'Cause I'm getting tired of acting
In lifes one act play
In lifes one act play
In lifes one act play
In lifes one act play

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.

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.
