Well there was always really just such
A friend of mine who put valentines
In her hair and mine red paper and glue
Its true

Here comes the glitter now and the scissors how their silver shines
Oh how it shines

Cut them out in the shapes like we wanted
You cant stop now cause its already started
Hold them now
Let em hold on together
Hold on together
Hold on together in line

And if there never really was such a look alike
Who would hold me tight, hold my hand I might
never have made it
But I did

And we may look the same
But we have different names and different faces
Yes we do

Let this slide, standing low now together
By ourselves just as light as a feather
And we still will hold to each other
Hold to each other
One to another
Oh yeah

So bring out the scissors now
Cut out the dolls
Hold up the light
And see em one and all
Put down the phone
And gives us a call
And
Bring the hearts and the yellow stars
I can see at night cause they’re on my ceiling
And they glow in the dark
Shining now
Let the light rain down
To my resting place
All over my face

Stick em up and give them a name
Down here they’re all just the same
I’m looking up with my head on my pillow
Head on my pillow
Head on my pillow all right

I wanna be you paper doll
So hold to the chain that connects us all
And I don’t mind being just like my friends
As long as I don’t get stuck on the edge
Yeah cause I wanna be you paper doll
So hold to the chain that connects us all
Yeah cause I wanna be you paper doll
So hold to the chain that connects us all
All right

Little Feat
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”

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.
